An hour later, the actual residents get in the pool, and the uninvited return like mall cops with badges from the imagination store. They accuse the host of lying, of using a personal pool without community oversight, and of violating a rule that exists only in group chat law. Picture kids shouting HOA bylaws at a puddle. It would be funny if it were not so exhausting.

A few weeks go by and the grievance gets revived in front of other classmates for maximum drama, as if the Supreme Court of Sprinklers has reconvened. The pattern is clear. These were not guests; they were self-appointed lifeguards of someone else’s property.

Working policy going forward: no drop-ins, no phantom memberships, and no swimming in a pool that came with a receipt and not a town charter. Bring towels, bring snacks, and bring permission.

12-year-old hosts a pool day, friends return the next day uninvited and refuse to leave, then scold the host for swimming in her own backyard without them: ‘My "Friends" got mad at me for using my own pool’
Twelve years old, new inflatable pool set up like a backyard moon landing, and a few classmates come over for a sanctioned splash day. The pool is modest, about three and a half meters across, but for kids it reads as Atlantis with cup holders. Everyone leaves sun-tired and happy, then immediately volunteers the backyard for a sequel without asking the person who owns the water.
Next day, doorbell. The same kids show up like they have season passes and a locker in the staff room. They invite themselves in, argue to stay "for just a bit," and even suggest the host can leave while they continue swimming, which is a bold strategy in both etiquette and trespassing. It takes thirty minutes to explain the radical concept that access requires permission, not optimism.
