Woman Stops Girl From Entering Pool, Then Dad Turns The Tables On Her

Rudely Interrupted

Hannah had no idea that her innocent playtime fun in the pool was about to be rudely interrupted.

The first time she came, there weren’t any problems. But now, a rude woman was staring down at her, shouting for her to get out of the pool because she didn’t belong there. Hannah didn’t know what to do.

A Tough Time

Hannah Fuller was a 12-year-old girl going through a very tough time. Not only was she going through puberty and some teenage angst, but her parents were getting divorced.

She couldn’t understand why grown-ups just couldn’t work on their problems. In the end, she blamed herself for their break up and tried everything to get them to stay together.

Leaving

Ultimately, the divorce was not negotiable, and Hannah watched her dad pack his bags and leave their family home. Now she would have to go back and forth to visit him.

Hannah hated the situation, but she later understood that some adults are not meant to be together. She loved them and wanted them to be happy, even though she wasn’t.

A Nice Place

Hannah’s father, Joe, found himself a nice apartment nearby so that Hannah could just take a walk to visit him whenever she wanted to.

When Hannah first went to visit, she was very impressed. The apartment complex was very neat and had beautiful greenery and flowers everywhere. But it also had something that would be the beginning of a nightmare for Hannah.

The Pool

In the middle of the complex and surrounded by all the apartments, was a pool. Hannah was a bit of a shy girl, but she loved swimming.

She couldn’t think of anything more than spending hours of her time in this pool. But what Hannah didn’t know was that someone was out to ruin her fun in the sun, and it was about to get ugly.

A New Friend

By then, Hannah had become a regular at her dad’s apartment complex and even made a new friend as well. She hung out with Anna most of the time, and today was the day that she was finally going to test out the pool. She put on her new blue bathing suit.

The water was nice and cool against the warmth of the day, and Hannah and Anna splashed and laughed loudly while having a fun day. Needless to say, it would all come to an abrupt end.

The Woman’s Hatred

The woman, whose name was Karen, had a reputation for being difficult and intolerant. She had a habit of creating problems for others, and she seemed to particularly dislike kids.

When she saw Hannah entering the pool, her eyes narrowed with disdain. She stormed over, her face red with anger, and started yelling at Hannah, “You don’t belong here!”

I’ll Call The Cops

Hannah stopped dead in her tracks. Was this woman talking to her? She turned around and looked at an overly sun-tanned woman with bleached blonde hair standing with her hands on her hips.

“Yeah, you, don’t you dare step foot into that pool. One more move, and I’m calling the cops!” Hannah looked at Anna, not knowing what to do next.

Harsh Words

“This pool is for residents only, and kids like you should stay away!” Karen’s harsh words echoed around the pool, drawing the attention of other swimmers.

Hannah was taken aback and felt tears welling up in her eyes. She wanted to stand up for herself, but the hurtful comments about not belonging struck a chord within her, reminding her of the turmoil her parents’ divorce had caused.

Ten Minutes Or Else

“Hey, lady, this is my friend. Her dad lives at apartment 25, and she has a right to be here,” Anna said, trying to vouch for her friend.

“I wasn’t talking to you, missy. Mind your own business. As for you, I want you out of this pool in ten minutes, or the cops will be swarming the area. You want to go to jail for trespassing?”

Panic

The woman then went to sit on a lounger at the opposite end of the pool. She had a clear view of Hannah and Anna. This was her plan, she wanted to make sure that they left.

Hannah was now panicking. How had a seemingly normal day at the pool turned out to be such a nightmare of a day? Hannah wasn’t looking for trouble. So she decided that it was best to leave the area.

We’re Not Leaving

But that’s when Anna stopped her. “No way, we’re not leaving. We’re having a great time. This woman can’t stop us. Who is she to tell us what to do anyways?”

But Hannah wasn’t so sure. The woman was somewhat right, she didn’t live there, and if it caused any problems with apartment complex management, she wanted no part of it.

Not The Manager

But since Anna was an actual resident at the complex, she knew who the manager was, and it wasn’t this woman.

“C’mon Hannah, she has nothing on us. She’s not the manager. Let’s enjoy the day.” And with that, the two teenagers proceeded to climb back into the pool. That’s when all hell broke loose.

Ignored

Hannah and Anna swam to their heart’s content, not knowing that the woman watching them was about to give them the tongue-lashing of their lives.

“Excuse me! Didn’t I just say that you shouldn’t be getting into this pool?” was all the woman said. But Hannah just continued to swim away, ignoring the angry woman. This made her furious.

911

She proceeded to walk all along the pool, shouting at the girls to get out or else. But Hannah and Anna just laughed. She felt like somewhat of a rebel for defying this woman.

“If you don’t come out of the pool this instant, I’m calling 911.” Anna laughed at what she had said, she couldn’t believe someone would call emergency services for something like this. But little did they know that this woman was dead serious.

Sirens

She went back to sit on the pool lounger. Hannah and Anna thought that she had probably given up on fighting them, but they were wrong.

It wasn’t long before they heard sirens coming down the street. It was followed by screeching tires. Hannah and Anna looked at each other. “Yeah, I told you to get out of the pool. The cops are here to take you away.”

The Police

Two police officers came walking through the main apartment complex gates. The woman jumped up and walked over to greet them.

“Hi, officers, those are the girls. Especially that one in the blue bathing suit. She doesn’t belong here, and I want her arrested for trespassing immediately.” Hannah’s heart was beating so fast she thought it might jump out of her chest.

In Trouble

“Excuse me, Miss. Can you please step out of the pool?” Hannah looked over at Anna, both of them terrified of what might transpire. Why didn’t they just listen to this lady, she thought.

“Miss, do you live in this apartment complex?” Hannah began fidgeting and looking around her as a crowd of people began assembling. She knew she was in a world of trouble.

Arrest Her

“Um, no, Officer. I don’t live here, but…” Before Hannah could say anything else in her defense, the rude woman spoke up. “See, I told you she was trespassing. Take her away, we don’t need her kind endangering the lives of the residents here.”

But the police officers were willing to hear Hannah’s side of the story first. “Miss, if you don’t live here, how do you have access to the swimming pool? Did you jump the fence?”

Very Nervous

Hannah began sweating profusely, and she didn’t know how to get herself out of this situation she was in. The police were drilling her with questions, and it was making her very nervous.

“I don’t live here, but my dad does. That’s how I’ve been getting in.” But the officers weren’t convinced. They still had more questions for her.

Proof

“Do you have any proof that your dad lives here?” they asked her. Hannah couldn’t believe it. The questioning was getting very ridiculous and insulting.

“Yes, I can prove it. He lives in apartment 25 upstairs,” Hannah said. But that wasn’t enough to convince the police officers.

“Okay, do you mind if we go upstairs and have a word with him, then?” Hannah’s heart sank.

Not Home

“Um, my dad isn’t home right now. He quickly stepped out to get us lunch. He should be back any minute now.” Hannah could see how the officers looked at each other. They thought she was lying to them.

“What a liar. Your dad is not here, sweetie. Quit lying and get out of the complex. The jig is up,” the rude woman said. At that moment, Hannah burst into tears.

Dad’s Arrival

Just as Hannah was starting to feel defeated, she heard the familiar voice of her father, Joe, booming across the pool area. He had rushed over, alerted by the commotion and concerned for his daughter’s well-being.

“What’s going on here?” Joe demanded, his protective instincts immediately kicking in. Hannah ran to hug her dad. But it wasn’t over just yet.

Wasted Time

“Sir, is this your daughter?” one police officer eventually asked. Joe looked around him at what exactly was going on here since he had left.

“Yes, Hannah is my daughter. Can someone explain to me what exactly is going on here?” The police officers looked at each other in annoyance. The woman who had called had just wasted their precious time.

All Is Revealed

“I’ll tell you what’s going on here. She doesn’t live here! She has no right to be here!” Karen insisted, pointing an accusing finger at Hannah.

Joe looked at the woman and said, “And who are you to make that decision? You don’t live here either. So what are you doing at the pool area?” Hannah and Anna burst out laughing.

No Right

“I do live here. My boyfriend lives here, so I am entitled to use the pool.” But Joe had something more to add.

“Entitled or not, you have no right to harass my daughter or her friend,” Joe said firmly, his protective stance unwavering. But would Karen be backing down and minding her business, or would she still be causing trouble?

Both Sides

The police officers listened to both sides of the story, and it became apparent that the woman, Karen, was the one causing the disturbance.

She had no authority to dictate who could or couldn’t use the pool. The officers politely asked Karen to leave the pool area and stop harassing the girls. She reluctantly complied, muttering angrily as she walked away.

Unreasonable People

With Karen gone, Hannah finally started to calm down, grateful that her dad had arrived just in time to defend her. Joe gave Hannah a reassuring hug and smiled at Anna, appreciating her support during the ordeal.

“I’m sorry you both had to go through that,” Joe said, “Some people can be unreasonable, but don’t let them ruin your fun. You’re welcome to use the pool anytime, Hannah.”

A Warning

The officers then turned to Anna to verify that she indeed lived in the apartment complex. She showed them her resident ID card, and they nodded in acknowledgment. Anna explained that she and Hannah had been friends for a while and reassured the officers that they were not causing any trouble before Karen intervened.

Feeling satisfied with their investigation, the officers warned Karen not to make false reports and to respect the residents’ rights in the complex.

Camaraderie

As they left, Anna shot Karen a triumphant smirk, which only seemed to infuriate her more. Hannah and Anna spent the rest of the day swimming and laughing, refusing to let Karen’s actions ruin their time together.

They felt a sense of camaraderie, knowing that they could face any challenge together. But would Karen accept defeat, or was she planning revenge? Only time will tell.
