I live in a Home Owners Association and we have a pool. The rules say that you can bring a number of guests, I believe 4. In the past we (and other neighbors) were able to invite 5-6 guests and no one raised an issue, especially when there were few people at the pool and every one is polite and not making noise, trouble, etc.
Last night we invited our friends with 2 kids; I stayed home to grill and wife when to the pool with our kids. When our friends showed up, they brought with them a grandmother. Fine, they go to the pool, and it turns out the pool manager was there and said the limit is 4 and forced the mother to stay outside the gate. The dad and the kids went in the water, the mother an grandmother never took off their street clothes. All they wanted to do was sit down on a chair, but no, he said one of them had to leave. So the older grandma stayed to sit down and the mother had to wait outside the gate, standing up!
Wife tried to explain to him, but he wouldn't give in, he said if the mother does not step outside, then my wife had to leave the pool.
There was no one else at the pool, and this never happened before.
I was home and when they all came and told me, I felt so embarrassed by the whole situation.
What do you think? what would you do if this were to happen to you?
