i swim at the ymca alot. one day i thought it would be funny to play a prank. it was ona saturday and i was at the pool and alot of little kids where in the pool with there parents. when i went in the pool i had a baby ruth bar in my hand so that no one could see it. i was just wadling in the pool and when i swam past/walked the little kids i just let go of the baby ruth bar. the life guard saw it and ordered everyone out of the pool think it was a hazard to health (they thought it was just was just what i wanted them to think it was- a piece of shit). everyone was making a big deal about it. later that day they found out it was a baby ruth bar (when cleaning the pool that it). they said if the person who did it doesnt confess that they will close down the pool for the rest of the hot weather. i dont kno if they will but im not willing to take a chance because i love that pool so much. what should i do..no tell them, tell them , and if i do tell them what should i say? it was just a joke! HELP.

You did it, and you are responsible for it. If you take my advice, then you do. And if you don't, well then, I don't know. Anyways, it's not fair to all the other people who have memeberships to the YMCA, and all you think about is yourself. YOU don't want to have the pool shut down so YOU can still go there. It's not fair, and it probably costed the YMCA money to drain the pool, and if they do re-open it, it will cost more. And, it probably really pissed them off and other people that their health could've been at risk. Plus, someone else shouldn't have to take the blame for something you did. All I'm saying is that every thing somebody does has a consequence, whether it's good, or whether it's bad. [ xcheerbabex108's advice column | Ask xcheerbabex108 A Question ]
gigi313 answered Friday January 19 2007, 11:59 pm: People do become members simply to enjoy the pool, so I don't think they would actually shut the pool down. However, it might make you feel better if you wrote to them anonymously and apologized. I don't think it's necessary to risk a confession and all the subsequent embarassment, etc., when they are just trying to "put the fear of God" into you, but an apology would make everyone feel better. gigi [ gigi313's advice column | Ask gigi313 A Question ]

Big lesson learned here: What you see on TV and movies is sheer entertainment- not meant to be tried at home. Now you see why that is.
You should confess. Don't risk everyone else having to take the fall for your prank. So, you may get the boot from the pool for a while, but that is just something you get. Our actions have consequences.
Own up to what you did, you will be a better person for it. Let them know it was a joke and you didn't realize it would get so far out of hand or you wouldn't have done it. That would be the truth, now, wouldn't it? [ Brandi_S's advice column | Ask Brandi_S A Question ]
