My dad runs a community pool. If someone poops in the pool, they pull it out, everyone gets out of the water, pool is closed for the rest of the date because they add some absurd amount of chlorine.

You know, I thought of adding the "It was me... Sorry I pooped in your pool" response but it would be too weird :eek:...

Around here, this has happened at the public pools, and they have been draining them. There are concerns about illness being transmitted by the feces.

8 years old? Rat him out. That's something the kid's parents need to know. Tell them he'll need swimpants (like toddlers wear) if he swims in your pool again.

It is sitting in what is already a toxic bath. Just pick the sh*t out, add some chlorine (not more if you have already shocked it), and go on with your damn life. If you wife still complains, give her a simple chemistry lesson, or tell her to clean the f*cking mess.

Hahaha, I laughed so hard at work reading this thread. Usually I can stealth laugh pretty good, but this got me cracking so I had to mask it and start talking about how funny some random email was.

Looks like someone released a finless brown into your aquarium.

Set fire to the child immediately.

Aside from that, just shock it with Teh Chimekals for a few days and resume your life. Natural bodies of water like lakes are much worse off than that. You have an immune system for a reason.
