‘I received my very own again on ‘entitled’ couple after their impolite solar lounger behaviour’

A holidaymaker has sparked a heated debate after revealing how he got his own back on an ‘entitled’ couple who hogged sun loungers during his Caribbean resort holiday

A fuming holidaymaker has divided the internet after executing the ultimate revenge on an “entitled” couple who shamelessly hogged sunbeds at a luxury resort. The sun-seeker revealed he and his wife were trying to enjoy a hard-earned Caribbean getaway after grafting and saving for months just to get a week of pure peace and quiet.

He 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 last morning at the resort, they found the couple’s belongings strewn across their loungers. While they wouldn’t have objected had the couple genuinely been using them for sunbathing, the man said 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 then walk by me in our new, less awesome spot. They looked at me and started laughing.”

Before leaving the resort to catch their flight home the next day, the man came up with a plan to teach them a lesson they wouldn’t forget, reports Birmingham Live.

He said: “We were leaving the next day. 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.”

While some people praised his vengeful actions, others said he was “just as bad” for trying to reserve the same sun loungers for the entire week.

One social media user said: “I don’t get it… you thought the loungers belonged to you for the whole week?”

Another wrote: “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 posted: “People who think they own a spot at a hotel are the worst.”

Another user added: “They were the hotels loungers – for the hotels 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.”
