Reddit Sunbed 'Revenge' Tale Prompts Row Over Resort Seat-Saving

Tabloid write-ups of the anonymous post have amplified questions about seat-saving rules versus poolside payback.

Overview

  • A Reddit user claims he left towels, leftover sunscreen and inflatable floats on loungers to get back at a couple who had occupied the chairs he and his wife had used earlier in the week at a Caribbean resort.
  • He says the couple placed belongings on the loungers and did not return until noon, and that they later laughed as he sat elsewhere.
  • Coverage from the Mirror, Daily Star and Daily Record on November 6 republished the account without independent confirmation from the resort or the other couple.
  • Reader reaction is divided, with some praising the move and others arguing he was just as culpable for trying to hold the same chairs and for leaving items behind.
  • Commenters highlighted resorts’ varying policies, including no-seat-saving rules and staff removing unattended towels, and some criticized the behavior as littering.
