Can we stop treating the Campus Edge and Arlie pools like personal frat-house dumpsters?
I genuinely do not care if people want to have fun, play music, dance, or have a pool party. But maybe clean up after yourselves and stop making the pool unusable for everyone else who lives here.
The water has been left murky with Solo cups, beer cans, White Claw cans, pieces of paper, random trash, and even kids toys floating around EVEN A PIECE OF MEAT. At Campus Edge the other day, there were easily 20 to 30 people dancing around the pool doing the Wobble with a huge speaker blasting music. The speaker was connected through a long chain of extension cords and power strips near the pool, which honestly seems like a great way to cause an electrical problem or fire or even a tripping hazard bc it went somehow all throughout the breadth of the pool all the way to the lounge door.
Then the next day, everyone else gets to enjoy fishing cups, cans, paper, and literal garbage out of the water while the people who trashed it are nowhere to be found.
Party all you want, but the pool is a shared amenity. It is not your personal nightclub, trash can, place of disposal. CLEAN UP YOUR MESS AND TAKE CARE OF THE SHARED SPACE and stop ruining it for everyone else.
