Under-weary Of What You’re Wearing

(I work at an inner-city pool and, for some reason, we have a big problem with swimmers trying to swim in their underwear. A male swimmer steps out of the change-room wearing boxer shorts and heads towards the hot tub.)

Me: “EXCUSE ME, SIR!”

Customer: “Huh?”

Me: “I’m sorry, but you cannot enter the pool unless you have proper swimwear.”

Customer: “What? What’s wrong with these?”

Me: “Those are underwear, and it’s a health and safety policy that all swimmers must wear proper bathing suits when entering the pool.”

Customer: “I’m only going into the hot tub.”

Me: “That is considered  a part of the pool.”

Customer: “What if you pretend you didn’t see me? I’ll only be a few minutes.”

Me: “How about no?”

Customer: “Argh! Fine.”

(The customer storms off towards the change-room. A few minutes later, I hear the change room open and turn to see the same customer from before, now in swim trunks.)

Customer: “Now can I go in?”

Me: “Uh… yeah.”

(I still don’t understand why he didn’t wear those swim trunks in the first place.)
