Man gets revenge on 'entitled' couple who stole his sunbeds - but not everyone agrees
A man has divided opinion after revealing how he got his own back on a couple who stole his sun loungers at a holiday resort - but not everyone agrees with his actions
A holidaymaker has sparked heated discussion after sharing how he took revenge on an 'entitled' couple who pinched his sun loungers at a resort. He explained how he and his wife were enjoying a well-deserved holiday in the Caribbean after months of saving for a week of complete relaxation.
He wrote on Reddit: "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 discovered the couple's belongings strewn across their loungers.
Whilst they wouldn't have objected if the pair were genuinely using them to sunbathe, the man disclosed how the couple "didn't show up until noon".
He added: "Later, after they arrived and we saw who it was, my wife said they stole our spot on purpose.", reports the Daily Star.
"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."
Before leaving the resort to fly home the next day, the man devised a plan to teach them an unforgettable lesson.
"We were leaving the next day," he said. "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."
Whilst some praised his actions, others condemned him for being "just as bad" by attempting to reserve the same sunbeds for the entire week.
One commenter on his post questioned: "I don't get it... you thought the loungers belonged to you for the whole week?"
Another contributed their opinion, stating: "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 remarked: "People who think they own a spot at a hotel are the worst."
Meanwhile, another user highlighted: "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."
