You must have looked like a gorilla if you couldn't wait one day to shave your legs.
Do you not have neighbours that will let you use their bathroon? You can tell them it's an emergency, you don't have to tell them you're vain...it CANNOT be good for your skin to shave in all that fishy bacteria... Alternatively, wear thick tights or trousers?
'Bacteria from a fish pond' does no one have an immune system now? Plus if it's properly kept it would have an effective filter thus highly lowering any ick in there. I'd be more concerned with the fish, not only do they have to cope with the oil from your skin, they now have to deal with your leg hair. Poor you for 'having' to shave your legs in the pond. Poor fish for having to breathe in your crap. You're disgusting OP.
Save the fishies!
The fact that you're so desperate to shave your legs just says to me that you're far too bothered about other peoples' opinions of you. If they were stubbly, or even hairy, and people were commenting... well who gives a shit, really? They'll get over it and it's not really your problem. People need to think more about theirselves and less about the opinion of others... Oh and if it was an event, have you never heard of tights? If not that, go to a friend's or neighbour's and use their bloody bathroom. I think this is fake tbh.
Why did you have to shave that day? I go weeks without shaving sometimes.....
@Raesin - If the OP was moronic enough to shave her legs in the fish pond what on earth makes you think she's got enough brains to have installed and cycled a filter? Also, filters do not remove ALL diseases or parasites. Not by a long shot. Filters merely pump water through the chamber inside, passing the flow of water over the filter media ( Sponges, ceramics, bioballs ect ) . The 2 types of nitrifying bacteria that breed and live on the media ( you need these ) , convert Ammonia from fish waste into NitrItes, then convert those into NitrAtes, and then the person who owns the pond ( or tank as this process is exactly the same in any properly set up aquarium filter ) DOES A WATER CHANGE. That there is a basic aquatic water cycle folks. Without it your fish will die, poisoned by their own crap and pee. Incidentally OP ? Your fish will also be quite likely to die, if you used ANY form of soap, shaving product or anything containing detergents of any sort ( if you just used pond water and nothing else then they will be fine, hair won't do them any harm at all ) . A pond, even with a filter, is an enclosed system, it's not like a river where pollutants are greatly diluted by a massive amount of water and then washed out to the vast ocean. You have a lined hole in the ground with a set amount of water going round and round it , with no outlet but the water changes you are supposed to be doing as a matter of basic care. The filter will not remove these products on it's own , it needs help. If you DID use any sort of shaving product you need to remove and replace at least half the water in the pond, RIGHT NOW. Then if you do have a filter, put some activated carbon media in it, you should find this in any place selling pond and filter equipment, as they will sell carbon sponges and media . The carbon will help remove *some* of the product from your water, but you will need to replace the carbon media after a couple of weeks, as it wears out . You will also need to do water changes on the pond once a week for around 1 month to ensure any product is removed. After that, if your fish are still alive, you can remove the carbon and leave the filter to get on with doing it's usual job. Depending on how many fish you have in the pond, you should be doing 25% water changes every fortnight as a matter of basic care and maintenence.
See, this is why I think people should be required to fill out some kind of form to get fish. People are so incredibly moronic when it comes to them.... just add water right? I had one person telling me how she had terrible luck with fish, they all keep dying, she's going to give up keeping them because they never last more than a couple weeks. I ask her what she's got in there, 8 goldfish in a 10g tank... I ask her what kind of filter she's got, and 'Oh, I have a filter on my faucet, so I don't need one.' -_-; And then there's the pond from that one place I lived when I was a kid... had about 5 comets in a shallow hole lined with plastic, maybe 5-10g of water so filthy you couldn't see more than an inch or two down, and nothing even resembling a filter. I thought it was awesome back then but after learning about what fish actually need, I was absolutely disgusted with the man for keeping fish in that thing. Nitrogen cycle, people! If you want to keep fish, LEARN HOW DAMMIT!

You couldn't just skip one day? I think fish pond legs are worse than stubble.
Can't you go a day without shaving your legs? Or just wear long pants?
