A man who shamelessly washed his backside in a packed public pool has horrified onlookers – with video of the vile act racking up more than one million views.
Footage shows the man whip out a bar of soap and start cleaning himself in a swimming pool full of children, with video shared to Facebook on Monday.
The man was at the Memorial Park pool in Palmerston North, on New Zealand‘s North Island, when he started lathering himself up.
He was captured bending over as children splashed around just metres away.
‘What the … he’s got soap, aye,’ an onlooker is heard saying. ‘Bro, it’s not a bath.’
It suddenly got a whole lot worse when the man turned his attention to his rear end, giving himself a deep scrub.
‘Oi, he’s washing his f***ing a***,’ a man says.
‘What the f***?’ a man says. ‘Alright, kids, get out of the pool.’

Surprisingly, responses to the video were mixed in the comments.
‘This is how I got severely sick in 2021, I was in a spa pool and this guy thought it was a great idea to have to bath in the spa,’ one woman wrote.
‘Within two days I was severely sick with shakes, vomiting – hospital told me I had an infection in the blood, asked me where I [had] been.’
‘This is my fav [pool] to take my kids. Why is no one saying anything?’ another said.
‘What’s wrong [with] this guy? No common sense and clearly no running water at home,’ a third commented.
But others said the man was simply practicing good hygiene.
‘What’s wrong? I mean isn’t it normal to shower/wash with soap etc. after a swim anyway?’ one woman asked.
‘Who’s really the yuck one? The ones who bring their kids here unknowing what happens in those waters, or the one who uses soap in a pool with chemicals that’ll kill germs anyway?’

‘It’s a public swimming pool not a bloody bath,’ someone wrote back.
Some said onlookers should have been taking action, not filming.
‘Instead of people saying something and getting him out of the pool, people film and laugh and share the video around,’ one wrote.
‘I agree, the behaviour is [disgusting] but I also would have spoken up in the moment not plastered it everywhere.’
