Reddit Sunbed 'Revenge' Story Spreads, Reigniting Debate Over Resort Etiquette

The widely shared anecdote relies solely on the poster’s account with no confirmation from the unnamed Caribbean resort.

Overview

  • A holidaymaker claims a couple left belongings on the loungers he and his wife had used most of the week and did not appear until midday.
  • He says he went down early on his departure day to place towels, suntan lotion and inflatables on the seats to block the pair from using them.
  • UK outlets including the Mirror, Daily Star, Daily Record, Manchester Evening News and MyLondon republished the Reddit post on November 6–7.
  • Online reaction split between praise for petty payback and criticism that loungers are first come, first served, with some citing no‑saving policies at resorts and cruises.
  • The articles report no hotel statement and provide no independent verification beyond the original Reddit account.
