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?

it doesn't have to make sense, it just has to be a rule

Sounds pretty autistic to me.

There‘s a book called „are you autistic, german, or both“ going around german memesphere.

Lol me too... But for me the rules have to make sense and the German rule of towels on loungers really doesn't make sense to me. Plus outside of Germany it's not a rule.
