OMG can you see the headlines now??? Driver stops near tee to pee behind the tree..." Geeeee.

Not a Relieving Center.

To answer your question: I stand corrected on an Agreement with regards that contractors are allowed to use the Swimming Pool Restrooms.

However I was only wrong on the Agreement part. There is no Agreement only because there is no need to have one.

So for your information and all of those who are so, " Concerned " can take this to the bank.

The Swimming Pool Restrooms are considered " Public Restrooms " and therefore are accessible to Everyone, yes Everyone.

Now here is the Telephone number ( 352-753-4022 ) that you and everyone else who happens to find that " Contractors " do not have a right to use the Restroom Facilities. Well that is just too bad, simply because they have every right to.

So put your trusty camera and notebook away..and have a bit more compassion for who those are trying to scratch out a living for themselves and their families.

Who knows it may make you feel better.

Oh and here is the telephone number again. ( 352-753-4022 ). :plane:

You can read my reply that I posted today..01/11/17 to the original post. :spoken:

Bonny, To put your mind at rest...The Contractors, and everyone else for that matter are allowed to use the swimming pool restrooms ..why ? Simply because the restrooms are considered " Public ".

I answered Dudes post today..

Actually you are wrong. Use of Rec Center restrooms for contractors is at the discretion of each center. Typically when the occasion arises the person(s) are directed to the swimming pool. :spoken:

Neighborhood Rec Center

Or wait for a puddle? :D

Actually the rules are next to the restroom. And the person who posted the telephone numbers has their info misguided.

- MUST HAVE VILLAGES ID OR VALID GUEST ID & PHOTO ID

I read this as to use the pool and the facilities. Doesn't look like a public restroom to me.

Trusty camera for the win

...but those are the pool rules. Aren't there gates beyond the restrooms that enter onto the pool deck? The rules about having the ID card are for entering through the gates.

The restrooms and drinking fountain are outside the gates and therefore are public.

I often see trucks such as tree trimmers, lawn service, and even garbage trucks stopped along Talley Ridge by the 7th green on Fox Run to use the restroom. So what? These people have jobs. They are providing services for us. We can at least provide a bathroom at a rec centre or golf course.

You come across as an individual who really wants to make an issue out of this:

Plus the fact obviously you are not content with the honest reply that I gave. So with that in mind..

I am not going to waste anymore time with people like yourself. I posted the information and you completely ignored it.

Telephone D P M.. ( 352-753-4022 ) and they will set you straight on the real problem that you have with Contractors using the Swimming Pool Restrooms.

The photo that you posted is meaningless the Swimming Pool Restrooms .....Are... PUBLIC RESTROOMS.. Period !

The above telephone number is available 8:00 til 5:00 M-F, and you will be able to voice your concerns or grievance to that person(s).

The End :spoken:

As well as the restroom between the 8th and 9th holes on Tally Ho :-), but you are 100% on in your assessment! I also see trucks stop and use the restrooms on the 5th hole at El Santiago all the time.

Give the guys a break!!!

There is a gate.

Camera part 2

Discussions seem to upset some. There is no argument. We are all on the same team. Its banter, talk... give and take.. playful and friendly. No phone calls. Seriously.

And no, swimming pool restrooms are not public. Heck, TV isn't public, we are a gated community.

Shouldn't this be brought up or are some things verboten?

I don't see anyone in these posts telling anyone not to do it. Just pointing out something. Just questioning. Glad we aren't talking politics.

But there is no one there checking ID's. You open the gate and walkin. At many of the pools there are shuffleboard, bocce ball and pickleball courts. These folks would walkin and use the same restrooms. Remind me 6 pages later, what is the OP's main problem with "outsiders" using the restrooms?

okay. So it came across hard, but they were only questions to see what people think, and the few of the 100,000 people in TV think it is okay.

I'm sensing something else going on here.

In your original post you mentioned that the person..."seemed to be in the bathroom at least 10 minutes" and then you also said "those restrooms aren't truck stop restrooms and in a way it doesn't seem very safe."

In the post above, you say.... "it about OUR bathrooms.

So I'm wondering, what is it really about that "THEY" are using "OUR" restrooms, the amount of time they took...and why would you think that it is "unsafe?" :confused:

I agree. I do actually think that the pool bathrooms are not open for everyone. I do believe that and will not back down. I also believe that every car entering TV should have a pass or their license plate photographed. And I believe that in Eisenhower they have the right to check IDs and that Villagers come first in Aerobics class.

Shoot me.

To pee or not to pee.........
 

Please, please, somebody, please make me stop reading this thread.





.

I wholeheartedly agree. There is no reason on God's earth that these hard working people should not be able to use the restrooms. I thank them for all the hard work they do here. Let them go potty. :pepper2: They are just as good as anyone here. Anyone who thinks different, really needs to get a life!!!

'Nuff said on this ridiculous topic.

:oops:

:ohdear:

:agree:

I think I see the problem here.

You actually believe that The Villages....is a 'private gated community?'

I hate to be the one to break the news to you...but you're sorely mistaken.

Just out of curiosity...who told you that?

Nice to see some Villagers have common sense and are nice people!!

OK, OK, so the workers have to go someplace but, one morning at the Dunedin pool a lawn maintenance worker came out of the women's restroom after a very long time. His buddy was still in the men's.

I really can't believe all the P & M about this topic. I worked in an outside job my whole time working and believe me when you have to go you have to go regardless of where it is. A Bathroom is a Bathroom. If it's a Department store, Gas Station, Food establishment etc. if the Public is allowed in the Building the Bathroom is part of the Building. I have NEVER in my lifetime seen a sign that said you CAN NOT USE THIS BATHROOM unless it was out of order Period. No place should be able to refuse you to use a Bathroom period. Get over it, these people ALL bust there butts for us and we're going to tell them you can't use a Bathroom. If it upsets you that much MOVE !

It's not a maintenance worker thing.
It's not a blue-collar thing.
It's not a guy thing.

Many a time I see ladies coming out of men's rr's because the ladies' has a long line.

Life is too short.
Enjoy the journey.

I have seen plenty of signs at restaurants or bars saying their restrooms are for patrons only - but that is not what this thread is about.

I also remember signs saying who cannot use a public bathroom- but that was in 1963 in South Carolina.

...and you were monitoring their entrance and exit time in the restrooms? :22yikes:
