Pettiness.
https://metro.co.uk/2023/06/16/pair-...co=mosaic_home
A couple who noticed fellow hotel guests had ‘reserved’ sun loungers before 6.30am – but didn’t turn up for nine hours – made sure to get their ‘petty’ revenge.
Australians Thom and Lisa spotted towels left on unattended sunbeds when they got up on Wednesday at Grand Barong Resort in Bali.
With the loungers still empty at 2pm the pair decided to claim the beds for themselves, only for the people who’d left the towels to arrive at 3.30pm.
Thom and Lisa, however, refused to move and even asked other guests to take their spots after they’d gone ‘to keep the pettiness going’.
Thom shared his experience online and fellow posters praised the pair, agreeing leaving towels on seats all day was ‘sun hogging’ and disrespectful, reports The Daily Mail.
Leaving a towel unfurled on a sun lounger has long been seen as a sign it’s taken, but many resorts have started banning guests from reserving spaces because of situations like this.
Thom wrote: ‘We woke up this morning [and] noticed towels already placed on the afternoon shade sunbeds. We went about our day and eventually arrived at the pool at 1pm to the beds untouched, nobody in sight.’
At 2pm, he said, they told pool staff they were moving the towels as nobody had been on them.
‘We then waited until 3:30pm for them to eventually arrive and the realisation that their spots are gone, iPads and books in hand was priceless.’
Lisa added: ‘We literally left and asked others to take them just to keep the pettiness going.’
It seems the couple’s efforts had the desired effect. The following day Thom posted victory picture of empty loungers with the words ‘Free all day’.
One person wrote under is original post: ‘Proof that not all heroes wear a cape,’ while another said: ‘Would shout you both a Bintang if I were there.’
Some people commended the couple for not claiming the loungers earlier.
One wrote: ‘I would’ve done the same except I wouldn’t have waited – if they weren’t there using them its free for all.’
Although some hotels have banned it, reserving sun loungers at the crack of dawn is still a common practice at many resorts, often leading to so-called ‘sunbed wars’ among guests.

. There are some nice touristy areas, but I'd rather do those mid-week, off-season. To me, sitting next to a swimming pool with a bunch of screaming adults and kids is no different than walking around a shopping centre on a Saturday - some people enjoy it, I guess. I am probably just a misanthrope
