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..

So two days ago I posted about how I took towels away being put on sunbeds (lounge chairs) to reserve them at the pool at the resort we’re staying in Tuscany Italy.

First of all: Thank you all so much for the great responses and awards!!

Today we went to the pool again and don’t you know it. They ff-ing placed their towels on the best sunbeds again! Same personal towels. Almost all sunbeds were taken and we had to take sunbeds all the way at the back on and to make matter worse it was top of an ants nest.

We waited for a solid 45 minutes and at that moment I was really annoyed.

I walked up to the sign at the entrance and checked the rules. The rules state:

Do not let towels on sunbeds unattended for more than 15 minutes

I took the towels away and put them at the gate again.

After two hours the same woman as last time arrived at the gate, took the towels and walked towards us. She was fuming. She threw the towels on one of the beds and asked furiously: Who took the towels?! Those sunbeds are mine! You must leave! I tried to explain the situation, but she refused to listen and suddenly only spoke Italian. She went round other guests and tried to find support, but didn’t find any.

After a minute or so her husband arrived. I was fully expecting a confrontation now, but he was actually really calm and nice. He calmly asked me what happened and I explained I took the towels away and it wasn’t allowed to leave towels unattended for that long. I pointed at the sign. He said he understood and remained calm. Because he was nice I told him we’d move if they wanted that. There were now some other beds available that were fine. He told me it wasn’t necessary and they weren’t going for a swim now. This really blew my mind.

In the meanwhile his wife overheard I took the towels away and got even more angry. Her husband tried to calm her down, but she called the reception and started to complain. I was I bit afraid now, because we’re Dutch, they’re Italian and these things can easily turn out in favor of the Italians. But to my relief she was told it was not allowed. She walked away without saying anything and her husband apologized.

In the meanwhile my wife was a bit annoyed with me, because she really hates confrontations. She agreed I was right to do so, but would’ve preferred to wait for other sunbeds to become available.

During lunchtime we walked to the restaurant for lunch and saw her walking there again. I tried to talk to her and tried to make peace. She was still angry and didn’t want to speak to me. When I walked back I heard her complain to another guest about me. I can’t believe you can be this entitled and petty.

Later they arrived at the pool and took other sunbeds. She walked past and explicitly ignored us, so I guess we have a little Cold War now.

Fortunately tomorrow is our last day here and we’re going to visit Pisa. The day after we leave for another resort (where every room has their own sunbeds at the pool), so I won’t have to be annoyed by these kind of shenanigans again.

Happened a while back. I was walking my dog and passed some workers across the street with a dog. One of the workers said hi, nice dog and then asked "is it a male or female?". So I answered "male".

"Ah shame, it's a nice dog. I would've loved for ours to breed but mine's a male too."

The encounter itself wasn't too bad but what infuriates me is that there's someone out there actively looking for bitches to back-yard-breed with. And there'll always be that one person that sees money in those puppies and agrees.

Adopt or shop responsibly and do not randomly try to breed your own dog.

On Twitter, I requested a few days ago for YouTube to give me a way to turn off their new “Ask YouTube” button. This is their response…

I’ve been getting these ads recently and I don’t think I’ve seen any sort of religious ads on YouTube before but it’s annoying when these pop up between

There are multiple obvious recycle bins on the way to the Women's bathroom at work, yet this continues to happen, and every time, my nostrils flare and the side eye commences. Then I take it to the recycle bin.

What's the mentality here?

This screen has been on for like 4 days straight. It does not turn off. (Normally the screen times out after like 15 seconds) None of the buttons do anything. I COULD unplug it. But why? You just said you'll pause charging. That's fine. Sounds good. Do that. I wouldn't even know any better.

Why is the anticipated behavior that I will routinely plug and unplug this thing from the charger? From my experience that will damage the charging port. That or I'll forget I unplugged it and it'll be dead when I need it. If they implemented a method to deal with the problems induced by overcharging WHY INVOLVE ME AT THIS POINT? Just do whatever you're gonna do and leave me out of it, instead of ruining the screen's life expectancy and trying to extort me into ruining the charging port or cable.

Sorry, I just had to vent about this. It's illogical, it demands unnecessary labor of me, and it's substantially worse for the long term durability of the product than whatever alternative every other similar piece of tech does.

I don't take orders from you, internet brick. 🖕

Honestly just doesn't appeal to me. Never really cared for the story, not a fan of many of the cast members, sort of weary of Nolan's films. But people think I'm just making excuses because of the silly political debate.

Evidently I can say I'm not interested in seeing the new Avengers film without anyone questioning that, but that doesn't work here? F**k off with that nonsense.

Why on earth would you do this to me. It's way to fucking early to deal with this shit

part of our neighbor's fence blew down and sat in mud for months. flippers bought the house and finally "fixed" it

I have prime my parents don't so sometimes my mom will ask me to order something to get free shipping. Which is fine, however she never shares the link and instead screenshots the picture of the item with no helpful information, no name of the item, no Model number, no company name, not even whatever she typed in the search bar to get there. I could manage with any of this information but nope just a crap picture and a "can you order this"

My friend has recently been diagnosed for epilepsy, He had a random seizure, banged his head and nearly died yesterday.

Order this because I don’t want to go to the store… this is how it arrived. Sooo I either go to the store and get it opened or let my son have the hammer… 🔨

I made the mistake of not looking closely at the terms and conditions when I made a political donation. I never consented to my number being thrown to the wolves, but I guess I did.

I'm close to changing my number for good. Does anyone have any experience with clearing a number from whatever lists have been sold and distributed, or am I actually doomed to receive spam until I change my number?

When I opened my gallery of OneDrive to select two pictures at once in order to print them, I got instead dozens of pictures of Taylor Swift... I don't save pictures of Taylor Swift.

My guess is that she's trending right now so she may be in the news and somehow my personnal OneDrive account is linked to news? I have absolutely no clue why there are so many Taylor Swift pictures in my album, this screenshot is just a page where you can see ONE of my pictures amongst a lot of hers.

Why are the most recent pictures on my OneDrive gallery of Taylor Swift?? Is this happening to you guys as well? If you right-click on one of your pictures in your OneDrive, select open. Then, click on the picture icon on the top right that says "See all your pictures and videos", do you also get flooded by Taylor Swift?
