A man has sparked a debate after revealing how he got his own back on an 'entitled' couple who pinched his sun loungers at a holiday resort. He explained how he and his wife had been enjoying a well-deserved break in the Caribbean, having saved up for a week of rest and relaxation.
The Incident
The tourist said: "It wasn't very crowded. We picked out a couple of nice loungers and spent most of the week there with no issues. Another couple showed up a few days before we were scheduled to leave. My wife caught them looking at us a few times over a couple of days."
On their final morning at the resort, the pair discovered the couple's belongings strewn across their usual loungers. While they wouldn't have minded had the couple actually been using them to soak up the sun, the man revealed how the duo "didn't show up until noon."
He said: "Later, after they arrived and we saw who it was, my wife said they stole our spot on purpose." "Confirmed when my wife was in the water and saw them walk by me in our new, less awesome spot. They looked at me and started laughing."
The Revenge Plan
Before departing the resort to catch their flight home the following day, the man devised a cunning plan to give them a taste of their own medicine. "We were leaving the next day," he added. "We went down very early, spread fresh towels on the loungers, put fresh folded towels down, and left our leftover suntan lotion and our inflatable floats on the loungers. Hope they spent all day waiting to see who stole their spot."
Mixed Reactions
While some users applauded his act of revenge, others argued he's "just as bad" for attempting to claim the same sunbeds throughout the entire week. Responding to his post, one user said: "I don't get it... you thought the loungers belonged to you for the whole week?"
Another user added: "Every resort and cruise ship needs to adopt the policy of not saving seats. If you get up to go jump in the pool for a bit and leave your belongings there, fine. But leaving a towel on a chair all day is silly, and I have seen some places that have signage saying that towels left on chairs like that will be taken by staff."
A third user said: "People who think they own a spot at a hotel are the worst." One more user added: "They were the hotel's loungers - for the hotel's guests. First come, first served. If you want your personal loungers then pack them into your cases and take them with you. Then you intentionally left a bunch of junk and littered the place up. And now you're bragging about it."
