Hotel worker savagely removes reserved towels from sun lounges

A TikTok has gone viral showing a hotel worker removing towels that some holidaymakers left to reserve their seats.

The hotel worker, dubbed the ‘Towel Police’ in the video, can be seen removing several towels draping off chairs before folding them and taking them away along with an inflatable flamingo.

While holidays are often a relaxing and calming experience, there is nothing quite like the battle to claim a sun chair by the side of a pool resort.

Traditional etiquette is that if you have to whip out to the bathroom or have to make that one pesky business call, you can leave your towel on your sun lounge to reserve it.

While half an hour is what most people agree is the maximum amount of time you can reserve a seat for, reservation time can be extended if you are using the pool's facilities or if it's not that busy.

However, some people like to push the limits of towel etiquette, reserving their sun lounges in the morning and not returning till the afternoon or night time.

Clearly, this hotel worker has had enough of people abusing the towel reservation system.

“Bit of Justice served today,” reads John McGowan’s TikTok along with various hashtags like #SunBedWars.

Clicking on that hashtag takes to videos where people are waking up as early as 6am on holidays so that they can walk down to the poolside and reserve their chairs for the day.

Another video shows a group of about 40 tourists lining with their towels waiting for the hotel worker to open up the pool for another day so they can save their spots.

Back in McGowan’s TikTok, the hotel worker reportedly waits 30 minutes before removing any towels which have been left on the sunbeds with no owner in sight.

“He comes around with his clipboard and stopwatch,” wrote McGowan.

The replies were full of support from people who have had enough of so-called ‘sunbed hoggers’.

“Would love to see their faces when they return,” one user commented but according to McGowan they never did come back.

“About time,” wrote another. “This should be done in all hotels.”

“Definitely the sensible way of dealing with these selfish individuals,” said a third.
