Australian furious at ‘lounger hoarders’ in Bali who left his towels on daybeds for NINE HOURS is praised for ‘small’ act of revenge: ‘Victory’
- Towels were left unattended on poolside chairs.
- An Australian couple waited hours before moving them
- The culprits finally swung into the pool after nine hours.
- People often get up early to reserve poolside loungers
An Australian couple who woke up at dawn were shocked to discover that someone had “reserved” poolside loungers at their Bali resort, then didn’t show up for nine hours.
Thom and Lisa found unattended beach towels that had been left on sun loungers in the afternoon before 6:30am at the Grand Barong Resort in Bali on Wednesday morning.
Leaving your towel unfolded on a chaise longue is considered a sign that the lounge is occupied, but many resorts prohibit guests from reserving spaces.
The couple waited until 2:00 p.m. before tossing them aside and taking the seats to themselves, only to have the people who had put them there show up at 3:30 p.m.
His reaction was ‘invaluable’, and Thom shared the ‘little’ revenge’ online with a crowd of followers who agreed that leaving towels on seats all day was ‘sun hogging’ and disrespectful.
At some resorts there are signs telling tourists that they can only reserve public seats for a maximum of one hour without actually being there.
An Australian couple vacationing in Bali have been having trouble with other tourists waking up before dawn to reserve poolside loungers.
At some resorts there are signs telling tourists that they can only reserve public seats for a maximum of one hour without actually being there.
‘We woke up this morning [and] I noticed the towels were already laid out on the loungers in the afternoon shade,” Thom wrote.
‘We went on with our day and finally made it to the pool at 1pm to beds untouched, no one in sight. At 2pm we told the pool staff that we were going to move the towels because no one had put them up.
“We then waited until 3:30pm for them to finally arrive and to realize their seats were gone, iPads and books in hand was priceless.”
When the culprits arrived to claim their seats, Thom and Lisa made sure not to give them up.
“We literally went off and asked others to take them just to keep it petty,” Lisa said.
The small victory generated a huge celebration online from others who had shared similar experiences.
“Am I the only one who hopes that there will be a day two for this situation?” Said one person.
Another wrote: “Proof that not all heroes wear capes,” added another. If I were there, I would yell a Bintang to both of you.
“I would have done the same, except I wouldn’t have waited – if they weren’t there, using them is free for everyone,” added a third.
Thom posted an update on the empty poolside chairs on Thursday as a sign of victory.
“Free all morning,” Thom wrote the next day.
Some in the comments praised the couple for not he immediately disposed of the towels, saying some time was needed for the owners who might have been swimming.
Tourists flocking to sun loungers when the pool gates open is a notorious problem at resorts.
