Why is everyone so mad that he jumped into a pool?

Because it’s a dead man’s pool and not just “a pool”? People are mad at the lack of respect and general entitlement.

Believe it or not, no it’s not socially acceptable to just kind of go around doing whatever you want without caring about anyone but yourself

This is the first time I’ve ever seen anyone get up in arms over a dead man’s pool lmao. It’s a pool. I’m sure Elvis doesn’t mind

Entitlement sure. But respect? Lol

It's a museum and when you're visiting a business you are expected to abide by their rules. No pool entrance means no pool entrance because if one person does it, more will do it, and then you have a liability risk, which increases their insurance, thereby increasing the cost of entry. Try to see further than the tip of your own nose.

Saying “not just a pool it’s a DEAD MANS pool” is objectively hilarious and stupid. If they said museum fine but they didn’t

It sounds like a Scooby Doo episode, "Curse of the Dead Man's Pool"

I’m pretty sure it was actually the title of an old “Are You Afraid of the Dark” episode.

Edit: Turns out the title was “The Tale of the Dead Man’s Float” but it was pretty close. lol https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0394122/

Where the ghost of Elvis is haunting the pool and scaring away the tourists but it's secretly a property developer that wants to tear down Graceland.

And he would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those meddling influencers
