So I'm at the pool last Sunday, there's the usual
crowd of lap swimmers. It starts to rain, unexpected.
In a few minutes, 3/4 of the pool has emptied.

Which means swimmers bailed... because they
didn't want to get wet.

Am I the only one who finds human behavior
mysterious sometimes?

Rain storms don't include lighting where you live?

Maybe they didn't want their towels to be soaked and unable to dry
themselves off and didn't think it'd be all that fun to drive home from
the pool with soggy underwear.

Crispy critters. Used to clear the pool for every thunderstorm at the YMCA
when I was swimming for excercise. Boring looking at the bottom of the pool
for a mile swim. No fish.

You didn't say if it is an indoor or outdoor pool and if there was thunder
(or expected thunder).

Sure it had nothing to do with the yellow cloud that was forming
around you?

Actually, it was probably more along the lines of not wanting to get
fried should lightning strike.

Yes. You are the only one. Everyone else understands one another
perfectly.

Today, I saw a 40 something male wearing powder blue speedos and matching
fins and he put them on in the locker room and clomped, clomped, clomped out
to the pool area and then dived into the pool (3 1/2' water with No Diving
signs everywhere).

Yes, people are strange.

Today I saw a fat guy with really long and curly toenails about to get
in my lane. So I got out.
