I don’t care what color a pool is, all I care about is whether the water is nice and cool and I can float around for hours on end.

That’s a good life philosophy, don’t you think?

And it applies to the story you’re about to read…

Check out what went down in this tale from Reddit.

I painted my pool green after my neighbour complained about my green pool.

“One of my neighbours complained about our green pool.

It had been neglected for the winter and was looking a bit gross.

I was actually in the middle of getting the chemicals sorted when an officer from the council turned up to do an inspection.

They had control of the situation.

I showed her all the chemicals and she was satisfied that I was getting it sorted.

A week later, and she’s back. Neighbours have complained again.

It turned out the fibreglass in the pool was badly damaged and we’ve decided to rip it out and start again.

Neighbour does not like the concrete pool.

Council officer mentioned that the neighbour kept going on about how at least the concrete look was better than green.

They apparently went on at length about how much they didn’t like looking at a green pool.

Green is my favourite colour.

You know what time it is!

The tradespeople doing our work also heard the neighbours complaining about our green pool.

They showed me a colour chart that lists emerald green as an available colour.

They’ll give me a discount on that colour if I want it.

I’ve always wanted a green pool.

We’re going to start painting next week.

Hahahaha.”
