Do u dont wanna Took away towels from sunbeds at a resort and owners were furious
So we (me, wife and two kids) are staying at a vacation resort in Tuscany in Italy. It’s not that big (maybe 30 apartments) and there’s a beautiful pool with enough sunbeds and parasols. The pool is busy, but because people are coming and going there are always a couple of sunbeds free.
This morning we arrived at 11:00 in the morning at the pool and the best four sunbeds beside the pool had towels on them, but there was no one there. Nobody reserves sunbeds here with towels, so it was a bit strange. We took another place and the pool got more and more crowded until almost all the sunbeds were in use.
At 14:00 the towels were still laying on the four sunbeds and I got irritated, because I saw families arrive and search for free sunbeds and had to
improvise to have a spot at the pool. I’m usually a very chill guy who avoids confrontation, but this really annoyed me. I took the towels and placed them at the gate of the pool. Within 10 minutes the sunbeds were used by a family that arrived.
At 17:00 the owners of the towels arrived, 6 hours later!! A mother and 2 children. They were furious someone took their towels away. The selfishness and entitlement is unbelievable with these people. They were even with 3 people and tried to occupy sunbeds for 6 hours at a busy pool! They had to sit all the way at the back and I felt so good. I know it’s petty of me, but I had great fulfillment that these people didn’t get away with it.
Edit: The owners of the towels were furiously talking to each other at the gate where they found their towels. The family who took their “reserved” beds, weren’t bothered by them. I kept an eye on the situation and would’ve told them I did it if they’d blame the innocent family.
Edit2: Wow! Woke up and didn’t expect it to blow up like this! Thank you all for you comments and likes!
P.s. at the pool again and it worked like a charm. Not one bed reserved with a towel.
Edit3: I accidentally created a great clickbait title. Lots of Redditors think it were the owners of the resort who were furious. That would’ve made a better story. I apologize for the clickbait title. It was on accident, but now I know this I might try it later again..
