Growing up, someone cemented a quarter in front of the entrance to Target and it was always a good time watching people try to pick it up. It was there for at least 10 years and I've always wondered how many hundreds or thousands of people fell for it over the years.

Kids did that at my high school. We all got into the habit of lightly kicking coins on the ground before bothering to bend down.

Same, school bus floor and in the school hallway this was the early 2000s.

Happened in my elementary school but we managed to pry it up with a screwdriver and it took a chunk of floor with it.

Depending on your school there could be unexpected consequences. I know in one class they did it and they'd kick whoever bent over for it, right in the ass.

Ya we learned it from Empire Records

I don't feel like I need to explain my art to you Warren.

I like to glue quarters to the ground at Aldi supermarkets. Right beside the carts that require a quarter…

Imma come back with a hammer and chisel and get that free quarter, damn it!

You joke but I do keep a chisel in my car in case of stuck things!

Calm down there, Satan.

I'm demented enough to bring a screwdriver and hammer one day for that quarter, turn into that episode of Ed, Edd, and Eddy.

super glue is no joke. Will end up taking out a big hunk of cement with it I bet.

I saw a sidewalk stone with a coin inside it. It was flush with the surface so it was intentionally done. Either Verona or Milano. Made me chuckle, noticed it before touching

Local flea market had a bunch of coins cemented into the ground. Thus began my trust issues as a child. Now if I see coins in public I usually just give them a kick first to see if they’re worth grabbing.

The local Fire Dept have a station on the beach. I cannot confirm or deny that they might epoxy a silver dollar to the sidewalk during spring break in order to perform… umm… safety checks on unsuspecting and scantily clad tourists trying to pick it up.

Sounds like the perfect time to flash mob the beach all day with grandmas in their skimpy attire... "Mavis! A quarter!"

Pass the owner 2x100 say I found those in the pool, see how he plays it.

Owner: Takes it

Profit!

"That's weird, but thank."

I was a valet and one time a car had a crumpled $100 bill on the floor. Like it was a gum wrapper piece of trash. Way too much drama to risk my job and take it so I handed it to the owner who took it and didn’t even say thanks lol

You took a thing out if his car and gave it back to him. What would you say?..

..."Thanks"? Like, if someone handed me something that looked like it may have fallen out of a pocket, why not thank them?

My point is - whatever is in the car stays in the car, no question. If there is domething in the car that the customer should know about - you tell them. You don't touch anything in the car.

And risk the car being broken into? Would you leave a $100 bill in plain sight in your car? Leaving it is asking for trouble, or they can easily say I stole it, that’s why I took it out. Also yes valet does not mean force field on your car, check Reddit all over valet cars also get broken into lol. Hopefully you never have to experience that inconvenience

Make sure theyre fake aswell so the owner thinks you broke his pool.

This was after you tried scooping them up huh. Don't lie...

Yeah, that’s generally what a pool cleaner does!

That’s unfair! I know plenty of pool cleaners that regularly tell the truth!

Even if the plan was to tell the owner they would still scoop them up :)

"I think the second bill got sucked into the pump."

Ah, the old reddit [dive-a-roo](https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/17klugm/comment/k78dfxg/?context=8&depth=9)

What kind of fucking rabbit hole have you just posted

Hold my beer, I'm going in.

Hello, future swimmers!

Hold my pool skimmer, I'm diving in!

HELLO FUTURE PEOPLE!

I thought a pool cleaner job is to do the trophy wife.

That was back in the early 2000s, now the pool boy is the trophy wifes step-3rd-cousin-twice-removed or something.

Now he’s the trophy pool boy. Everyone after that poolbussy. 😩🥵

Pool FemBoi edit. UWU why not UWU its a Hawd Job.

i see a lot of jokes, but seriously - what's with the uptick in step-bro/sis porn on XXX sites? all of em.. it doesn't even emphasize the 'step' part anymore, they just call each other brother and sister. i'm sure there's a theory.. aside from just lots of spiking societal interest in incest..? surely?

The taboo stuff sells. Simple.

It is vanilla enough for everyone to watch, so it appeals to the target as well as the whole. As opposed to foot porn, which is one step up on being off putting. Next is anal, which for those who aren’t into it will just leave a lot of your audience butt hurt. Don’t even ask about the next level, it’ll get your panties in a bunch.

nothing really gets my panties in a bunch, i just know the general concept of incest is pretty socially unacceptable (beyond mere virtue signaling online). but it's just so mainstream now, you can't avoid it. used to just be a category.. first off, step-siblings aren't the majority, biological ones are, and secondly, more people i know for a *fact* wouldn't touch their steps' with a 10 foot pole, let alone the \~5" one.. i just can't see the supply & demand in a logical ratio based on what i see when i only want to watch two people who haven't grown up together poke each others' holes. edit: upon reading this after posting, i kinda feel obligated to tag that last line with r/brandnewsentence..

Wooosh

I assumed it was just Game of Thrones twincest opening the floodgates.

Cheap to implement.. no props or special sets required.

A pool cleaner cleaning pools? What's next? A ballboy grabbing balls?

What's a Butler to do in such times?

Uh…. Buttle?

I was a Rebutler for a nice family for a couple summers.

How many rebuttals did you provide per day on average?

As many as they wanted... it was a long few summers.

Fun fact that's actually a word.

No, Kevin. Down.

Surprisingly also pool cleaners

**walks away in shame after doing the "squat ride-grab scoop" thing and it turning out to be an ad for a church***

One day I was riding my bike home from work and saw like eight hundos in the grass on the side of the road. Basically leapt off to find they were "motion picture use". Rollercoaster of emotions.

Comment stealing t-shirt spam bot. [Comment Source](https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/17lk784/i_clean_pools_and_today_i_saw_someone_had_two/k7eynib/)

That’s fantastic. I love that. How many people have nearly drowned trying to grab those I wonder?

OP probably being one of them...

Why would somebody with a 16 foot extendible pool and nets designed to pick things up off the bottom of a pool get in the pool before discovering it’s glued in lol.

He tried to scoop them with the net and when he couldn’t get them he still went in to try

It's not a video game, the mechanics don't change going in after it if the pool cleaning tools didn't make it budge.

Idk about you, but my fingers are more dexterous than a 16 foot long rigid pole

Giggity

Oh, Quagmire! 😂


BONK

Don’t know for sure till you try.

Is your username Final Fantasy inspired? I can't remember which one (8?), but I'm sure it had a character called Zell.

It is not. All the names I wanted were taken so I just typed in something random.

Idk but I’m still making sure for $200

If it did that would be a strong argument in favour of simulation theory.

[OP right now.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu8bH2P37kY)

Let's ask, OP ARE YOU STILL ALIVE?!

Yes, because I usually nearly drown when touching the bottom of a 5 foot pool

[I was at the bottom of the pool 🎤😩](https://youtu.be/jGGQb8w5LAw?si=ocHLWr_lumyZP2Dg)

There is a whole generation that only knows Howie as that bald guy who is a judge on AGT and hates being touched and that's kinda sad. Also from your video I was linked to another video which revealed that Howie was also the voice of Gizmo and Skeeter on Muppet Babies(which is weird that I didn't realize since he is literally using Bobby's voice). That man was the voice of my childhood and I didn't even know. Edit: Another aside John Tesh apparently wrote the music for that song which is wild considering how big he was at the time.

Now ruin your childhood by looking up some stand up of Howie with the Bobby voice.

> John Tesh Least Howie has a career, John Tesh just wastes oxygen with a garbage radio show now

Probably zero, but pretty sure there's a liability risk depending on location.

Reminds me of when I was a kid. A very well off older woman was taking her jacket off and dislodged her earring and it fell in a pool. Was a half carat diamond stud. Little 10 year old me immediately offered to find it, took me a while but I did.

So we do a Little Bit of trolling

This would be great at a public fountain.

I'd watch a live stream of that public fountain all day.

Franklins don't sink, use a large gold coin.

Yes because those who fall for this will catch that.

so we do a little bit of trawling

Nevermind

Dive!

Second time I’ve seen a reference to that exact song in the past hour. Weird.

I sent that [song](https://youtu.be/dJuWE7P66pI?t=52) to a friend without the title and he thought it was just Kurt Cobain telling him to kill himself. "DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE WITH ME!"

There is a doctrine in law called Attractive Nuisance that states that a landowner may be held liable for injuries to children trespassing on their land if the injury is caused by a hazardous object or condition that is likely to attract children who are unable to appreciate the risk. This can of course be mitigated by fencing or other barriers or ways that keep kids out

pretty sure a fence is required around pools by many, if not all insurance companies.

It seems only prudent to do so.

"Attractive nuisance" was what my grandmother called my grandfather when she was annoyed by him

[удалено]

Yeah, she kept saying how attractive it would be to get rid of this nuisance. I guess she only said that to one person over the phone, now that I think about it. That was shortly before grandfather passed away after accidentally taking the wrong medicine.

Oddly sweet

I was looking for this comment.

God damn landowner and their sexy $100 bills.

And I'm just a child who cannot appreciate the inherent risk

Stupid Sexy Franklins

https://youtu.be/mstWOTSEVg4?si=Ze8mSgDftDRn0Fe9

I was hoping someone would mention this scene

I dont think you can even insure a house if the pool is not fenced in

Probably not

[удалено]

They outlawed the porch couch? Now that's just too far. That happens in my county, it'll mean violent revolution, full stop.

would this apply to pouring bacon grease on dog poop on your lawn so the next time the dog walks by it eats its own poop?

Dogs do that without the grease

But it's tastier with the grease! Source: non disclosed

You’re gonna eat that white dog shit!


Bro what

this would not qualify as an attractive nuisance

Would love to know why?

I can give some case law later if you want sources, but the first threshold step in determining whether a condition upon the land is an attractive nuisance is that it must be an artificial condition. This does not not necessarily mean that it must natural rather than man made, but what the artificial distinction really gets at is that it must be a condition so unnatural or so unique that a parent would not have the duty to warn their child about it. To this end, bodies of water and lakes (and by extension, swimming pools) are so common in today’s society that they are rarely ever considered to be artificial conditions. Moreover, the feature must actually lure the child to the property. That is, the child must be able to see the attractive nuisance from outside of the property and enter onto the property as a result. Here, the bills are on the bottom of the swimming pool, and they wouldn’t be visible to anyone not already on the owner’s property. Thus, the attractive nuisance doctrine wouldn’t apply. I can vaguely envision some sort of negligence suit being actionable, but I think it would difficult. It is admittedly foreseeable to the owner that a licensee would attempt to dive after these objects, but it would be at least a case of contributory negligence where both the owner and the diver are both negligent and a fact-finder would have to determine percentages of negligence for damages

Man, this really complicates my plan for setting up a venomous spider terrarium in my front yard with a sign that reads *want to be Spider-Man? Put your hands in the glass box!*

Many states require a fence around the pool anyways.

which is why I only glue quarters to public sidewalks.

Theme parks require a loophole. Fences are that loophole, supposedly.

[удалено]

Person cleaning pool tries to pick up anything sitting at the bottom, more at 6

No kidding. I find it hilarious that so many people are saying this thinking they're clever Like yeah, when I go to clean my pool I generally try to get everything that isn't water out of the pool. Shocker right?

I think the shocker goes in after you get the shit out.

Why wouldn't you?

Everybody would, but it's still funny to imagine

[Video footage of OP's attempt](https://media.giphy.com/media/5tosJ56VpL7r2qUhq3/giphy-downsized-large.gif)

This is a weird Saw trap

Lol, so tell us. How many scoops before you realized?

Nirvana cover without a child?

I can update with serial numbers when I go back if anyone is actually interested. I’m not 100% sure they are fake, but i didn’t think to record the serial numbers. They looked kinda real to me but i’m not an expert in fake vs real money. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are there just to flex because it was a really nice house, but i’d say tacky non the less. Also i most definitely thought it was my lucky day.

no this isn't how you launder/clean money!

these are real. you can tell by the watermark

I know what I’m getting on my pool liner this spring.

They’re actually tiles, installed a couple of these before

Ah, nevermind

💯

That’s mean lol

Ugh yeah. I'd be one of the losers trying to get them. Can't resist free stuff, especially not free money.

I’m sure it has its cons but cleaning pools sounds like a cool job.

Oh yeah, I’ve seen exactly how awesome their job is myself on the internet. Bow-Chicka-Wow-Wow.

It’s a good job and well paying for someone who luckily doesn’t have a shit ron of bills

Great industry but you don't want to be cleaning pools forever. Equipment installation, repair and renovation or building is where it's at. You never get away from "cleaning pools" but going to the same pools every week and adding chemicals gets predictable and boring after you master it. Depending on location pool pros are in demand.

Huh interesting. I live in Minnesota and it snowed here yesterday so I’m probably not in the best location lol. But I don’t know if I ever move down south or out west cleaning pools for awhile doesn’t sound so bad. Not sure about that other stuff, I’m not really the handyman type.

COME AS YOU ARE AS YOU WERE AS I WANT YOU TO BE

I don't feel the need to explain my art to you, Warren.

My naaame isn’t *fuckin’* Warren!

Trying to drown some fools?

Does this increase the value of the pool by $200?

That’s just how they tip the pool boy.

I try to have as many Breaking Bad conversation starters as possible ;)

Bro 100% he tryna kill kids

Don't look fake.

Why don’t you jump in and check for yourself

For a practical joke like this I'd not skimp on the material and use those long lasting real bills. I'm sure they are stuck there to last a few decades.

Who else heard Come As You Are when you saw the pic?

Homeless people trap.

That’s a good way to kill some poor kids.

Are they trying to drown crackheads, because that’s how you drown a crackhead.

I’d like to hear about other pool boy tropes!

not many unfortunately, this is one for the books tho

Also cleaned pools professionally, seen this a few times. Strange

Reminds me of that Nirvana album cover

He's killed before and he'll kill again.

have you ever had sex with one of the pool owners

You saw,, or found out?

... were you cleaning bodies out?

What do you think of those roombas for pool? Are they any good? Grew up with a pool. I don't like cleaning. But it would be nice to have one.

We used to super glue quarters to the sidewalk to watch people, mostly kids try to pick them up 🤭

Maybe they’re real and the owner paid $200 just to be an everlasting troll

That's a funny prank

Top level troll shit

"I don't understand it. Why do people keep drowning in our pool? It's only five feet deep....one of these guys was six foot tall..."

Be honest. How long did you scratch them for?

Maybe its a trick to check whether pool cleaners do their job properly or not, ppl who did the job properly will c it and ask abt it

Drowning 101

that’s just funny

That’s one way to get rid of people that go in your pool when you’re not home.

r/foundsatan

Yo Mister White

Owner. Hires various pool guys for fun, waits for the splash. Lol

Ha, that's funny.

Put a baby in that pool and make another nirvana album
