It's a good reminder to follow our intuition, to be assertive, to take the time to make the complaint. It's one reason that I love the book The Gift of Fear
by Gavin de Becker, as well as Protecting the Gift,
his companion book for keeping your kids and teens safe. I like to re-read these books every couple of years. I like to remind myself that it's better to be rude than to be wrong about a dangerous predator. It's better to be the complainer than to be the victim. It's better to be alert than to be lulled into a false sense of security. I don't like to feel paranoid, and I'm not normally the type to worry unnecessarily. But when something or someone feels really really wrong and creepy, it's time to take action.

Good job - save other less sure people from the same experience. It's always tough to make the D because we all like to give people the benefit of the doubt but...much better safe than sorry (it's nice to know others were complaining too).
I would agree that is hard to be a woman sometimes and it requires constant alertness and vigilance.And, I think with that alertness and awareness undergirderd by healthy respect for one's own intuition about a person or situation can be a life-saver.
UGH...that is so creepy. Thanks for the heads up on teh book, it looks like a good one. I am glad that the pool manager kicked the guy out.
