You'll have heard it said a lot that honesty is the best policy, and it usually is. Telling the truth is often better in the long run than telling a lie. Some people, it would seem, just take things too far though. Nobody asked this man whether he pees in pools, and so there was no reason for him to answer a question that hadn't been asked. Now, we bet everyone around him just feels uncomfortable.
If the 'too much information' admission wasn't bad enough already, have a look at his surroundings. It looks very much to us like he's on vacation somewhere, and he might even be headed for the pool. If that's the case, we hope he paraded around the pool and gave everyone the chance to read his shirt before he got in. Either that or the lifeguard stepped in and sent him away in the other direction. Nobody should pee in pools, and it's definitely not something you should ever be proud of!
