    That is a rejected insurance claim waiting to happen. I mean, imagine coming home to find out it had a hole and leaked all over the place while you were out.

    Next you’ll be telling me that the neighbor installed a hot tub in his apartment and it ended up shorting out the building’s electricity, causing me to miss a very important alarm.

    OK, sometimes I see these and think ‘that’s not **that **terrible’. This is NOT one of those times…

    Me: what do you do in the event of a fire?

    Genius: I’d be in the pool, i’in’t? /Taps head

      I set my bath pillow on fire once - while I was in the bath. I was well impressed with my quick thinking just to yank in down into the bathwater to put it out. My partner was too unimpressed with my stupidity/carelessness to appreciate my quick reflexes!

        What in the fuck could you possibly be doing where you find yourself in a situation where your pillow is on fire? While bathing?

        I’m with your partner on this one.

          Candles around the bath! One behind my head got a bit out of control and caught the bath pillow. It was made from something super flammable (or inflammable?) so it went up quickly. It singed a few hairs and the pillow was ruined, but no injuries or damage otherwise!

            super flammable (or inflammable?)

            Both mean the same thing! Thanks to the confusing English language, we have to use “non-flammable” to make it clear that something is NOT flammable/inflammable.

      Ohhh, maybe this guy thought he was buying a tiny barrel-sized thing. Swapped box art would explain how kiddy pools are depicted as gargantuan.

    Such heated indoor pools are sometimes used for hydrotherapy, where a storage or separate room is used just for the pool.

      Would this truly be the suggested set up though? An inflatable pool in your dining room? I used to have hydrotherapy until I found it too difficult to actually get there. They recommended warm baths, not that I DIY one in my house!

        This setup in the image looks crampy and sketchy, but in general the property owner build and maintain the pool and rent it to hydrotherapy therapists (or use it for its own such business). Normally (well, excluding cases we see in this community) one does not build one just for themselves in their livingroom or kitchen.

          Imagine paying to use someone’s “hydrotherapy pool” only to turn up and see this! 😂 yeah, there’s a house near me that has a small indoor swimming pool that’s rented out for hydro. It’s really expensive though.

    This is one of the most uncomfortable pictures I’ve seen in a long time. Just imagine the weight and volume of that water and what would happen if it leaked, much less burst.

    Indoor-issues aside, I get the feeling that people who would be willing to do this, probably wouldn’t care too much about the water quality either. How often are they cleaning or replacing the water? Do they still go in it even if it’s not being cleaned regularly? What does this smell like?
