CAN YOU TOP THIS?

Welcome to the latest edition of our popular “Can You Top This?” column, featuring the newest entry in the Service Industry News “Horror File. ”

This issue’s entry comes to us from Kevin Misley of Mystic Pools, in Park Ridge, New Jersey.

“It’s not exactly horrific”, writes Kevin. “This was from a new build I did in 2021. My customer has 5 kids, 3 of which are teenage boys. Well the 3 boys and their buddies decided to add some dish detergent to the spa which resulted in a bubble bath! Ginny, the family dog in the photo, was unfazed.”

How fun! And what a beautiful pool setting. Straight out of a magazine.

Did you leave it alone or suggest they do their laundry in the spa that week?

At Service Industry News, we would rather go behind the scenes and take a closer look at the type of stuff our readers encounter everyday — cracked tiles, spaghetti plumbing, rats in heaters, cars in the pool, snakes in the plumbing, and more!

When you are out in the field and you see something that doesn’t look right, send us an email along with a picture and a brief description: Attention Horror File, serviceindustrynewscd@yahoo.com.
