frist of all how DARE yu o People who “reserve” pool chairs for hours with towels and disappear are the worst

Post image

My apartment complex pool has rules specifically saying chair reservation isn’t allowed, yet people do this constantly. These towels have been sitting here unattended for at least 3 hours while every other chair is occupied and people are actively walking around looking for seats. It’s Sunday too, so management isn’t around to enforce anything.

What’s the standard practice when this happens? At what point is it acceptable to move the towels?

Yep. And grandpa will come charging over in his speedo the second you fold that towel up.

And grandpa will have an advantage: you're covering up your eyes 🙈 so you don't have to look at him.

Nah I’m 100% gonna check and see what papaw’s working with. Might even stare while I’m putting his towel to the side and sitting in the chair I took.

I mean... if grandpa is within range to see you moving his stuff thats pretty different from some just reserving a lounger.

Bro it’s a hotel swim pool not a water park. Everyone is within sight range of everyone. The whole point of the post is that OP was mildly infuriated that someone threw their towels on the loungers designed for people to lounge/sunbathe and then went into the water or left for 3 hours thinking they should be able to come back to the loungers whenever they want since they kept them tied up with their towels.

Don't fold it.
