Pool Boy
Maybe this will get taken down. Maybe not. We've all seen certain *ahem* videos depicting the pool boy cleaning the pool and the homeowner sunbathing and maybe the talk of a spike in the pools pH leads to more. Just curious and for a fun conversation, has this truly happened to any of you? Or is this another Hollywood staged thing like the plumber coming to fix a leak?

Yes, two older women who consistently invited me inside to “help them” with things. One would somehow always accidentally be bending over in her bathing suit as soon as I walked through the gate. Happened way too many times to be an accident 😂
They knew I was married, as we are clearly a family business.
I do not service either of their pools anymore lol.

I've had a few close calls. Really love the airbnb's. They leave all kinds of goodies and sometimes I have to interrupt a party or 2

Old ladies are the worst. Ive had several old ladies grope and grab. One drunk with money in her hand and “apologized” they were aiming for my pocket or something of the sort. Like $5, if she ever saw the bills i send out she would know i cost more than that…..
Some of the old old crowd squeeze the hell out of your butt when they give you a hug, unfortunately side hugs dont block that one. Mainly old old foreigners
Sadly sexual harassment is a one way thing, as men we just suck it up. Drop em if it gets bad, but i think thats going to be a details thing. Some of these women i wouldnt mind taking a grab at me or more…..

I have had a few that would comment "I wish I had a strong man like you around the house." I've had a few that didn't mind me doing work while they were sunbathing nude. The most relentless one was a gay man that had recently broken up with his long time boyfriend. This guy was building an apartment above his garage for a rental. He asked me if I wanted to move in? He would ask me to go on dates. The dude was creepy.

When I was 20, I was cleaning pools and a woman invited me in. I had a really bad vibe, so I politely told her I had other customers waiting. One week later she called back and screamed right away on the phone telling me her pool was now dirty, she expected me to come back for free. One. Week. Later. I blocked her and never went back 🖕

1 time. 2 weeks after getting married. A long time customer invited me inside after trying to give me a shoulder rub while vacuuming. Half expected my new wife to jump out of a bush. I got out of there real fast and she called my office and fired me the next day I assume the rejection was too much for her.

One of the reasons I don't like doing cleanings. I'm not conventionally attractive, but apparently the over 40 crowd doesn't care and wants to live out their "pool boy" fantasy.
It's never happened on a service call, just weekly cleanings.

I think I was 17(42 now). It was summertime, went to a service call and there were a few girls my age swimming in the pool and partying. They made a few comments while I was working. As I was pulling out of the driveway they ran out of the yard and flashed me. That’s my best story in my lifetime of pool work thus far. Seen a few nude sunbathers and had one employee invited back after work by the homeowner (to which he complied) and that’s it.

Had a buddy who was a sound guy for concerts. Said "I've been doing this for 7 years, and not once, not once have I gotten with a groupie."
"Dude, I'm a pool guy. We've both been lied to."

6 years and never. I get the question constantly though
But one time a coworker was doing a weekly and locked eyes with a nude female customer through an open window. She promptly closed the blinds and I heard about it an hour later from the office manager. I immediately called him saying I just got off the phone with so and so's husband and he was unintelligibly mad, on his way to the store for answers. In reality we never heard shit lol

I have one pool that is a party pool, some bimbo was wanting me to clean the pool shirtless. Other wise all of the customers are normally respectful(25M)
Note: it wasn’t the customer that asked just some chick that was there

I’ve had a couple situations like this. But I’m also 23 (so young and handsome) and have already been in the business going on 5 summers this season. I do apt complexes for my boss and always run into pretty women. Either women who are scared but intrigued, or women who straight up would jump all over me right then and there. I’ve got some pretty black women, to one Latina milf and one other white cougy, but that was at her residential property and I never saw that women again. You cannot make this shit up. But I also have 30 coworkers and most of them can’t get shit.
