    Reserving a pool side chair

    Am I crazy/AITA? A few months ago myself (28F) and partner (M30) went to a resort in Mexico. Everyday when we'd go to the pool, all the poolside lounges were taken (people actively sitting on them). That's fine, we just pottered around and didn't really get phased.

    After a few days, we were sitting on a bench watching 4 empty lounge chairs, they had towels on them but were empty. We went to breakfast, after a few hours, came back, still empty. We figured these people had gone into town for the day.

    So, we moved the towels and laid down. After maybe 2 hours later, a woman comes over extremely aggressive. Stated they were her chairs and she got up at 5am to claim them. I stated it's 3pm now and we've

    observed the lounges multiple times and you haven't used them all day and it's selfish + there is a no 'claim' policy. She continues to drag the two spare lounges, including my

    they were so disrespectful. We shared one lounge while she used one as her storage lounge and the other two for her and her friend. We ended up leaving not long after and after we left she continued to say "thank god the -enter expletive- has left".

    WTAF? Has too much time passed since I stayed at a resort where I truly broke some unknown code that if you claim a chair with a towel it's yours all day even if you're not using it?!

    Apologies for the rant, this just always infuriates me. Really takes the joy out of trying to enjoy your well earned break by entitled

    De-railled 16 hr. ago • Yeah, so this has been a issue for a few years now. Some resorts are putting up signs to say you can't reserve the lounges like that. it's not like there is a chair for every guest in the resort, find one when you

    need it or go a bit earlier...but reserving it from 5 am is ridiculous. One place I went, if they didn't see you use the chair for a while they would just go around collecting "dirty" towels....it also helps that they were resort towels. so no drama about "you took my towel"

    Also anything like sunglasses they ask around, but then just take it to lost property.

    AdRepresentative 9456 OP. 16 hr. ago Yeah! I feel like if everyone only used the lounges for the time they were swimming or lounging a significant portion of people would have a chance to enjoy the amenities as opposed to an entitled few.

    down, laid out the towel, got comfortable, ordered a drink, waited till she was done and on her cell and out of site. I waited 1 hour, then in moved all her and put it on a single lounger. Anyone asking if the chairs were available, were welcomed by me to sit and enjoy.

    2 hours later that came back, and by this time, all the chairs were taken that she reserved lol. She was ], I was gleeful and happy.

    AdRepresentative 9456 OP. 15 hr. ago This satisfies me!! I wish there were more chairs so I could've had strength in numbers. Maybe because I look young she felt she could intimidate me. Who knows.

    Kawika33 13 hr. ago • See this way too often now, I give it some time then throw the towels in with the dirty towels. When they come back I just say "chair was open when I got here, maybe the resort. enforced the no reserving policy and tossed your towel, cheers" and sip my beer.

    MermaidSusi · 15 hr. ago There are no saving lounger rules at all resorts, cruise ships, etc. It is just for people to do this, take lounge chairs and not use them! It is very common on ships as there is really limited seating at the pools! If you get the lounger at 5AM, sit your down in it at that time!

    CombinationCalm 9616 5 hr. ago This is why more hotels and resorts are removing towels from sun loungers if someone isn't there to use them in the morning. It's incredibly selfish to do that and not come till 3pm when most of the day has gone.
