Holidaymaker says campsite like 'Hunger Games' due to 'ignorant' British tourists

A woman on holiday has been left raging after spotting British tourists hog sun loungers by the pool.

While a holiday by the pool and camping in France sounds ideal to many who seek tranquility, one woman has found herself irritated by other guests. Calling them 'selfish', she has taken to an online forum to ask what she should do as they claim loungers for the whole day but barely use them.

Remaining anonymous, she wrote on Mumsnet: "I'm sure this has been done on here before. I'm in France on a lovely campsite."

But that's where the fun stopped as she continued: "There are a particular group of Brits that go up the pool every morning, put their stuff on about 10 loungers and then periodically pop up maybe twice in the day.

"I was there for a few hours today and saw people sitting on the floor as these loungers had stuff on them but no people. It’s so ignorant and selfish and it’s giving me the rage. Said people are noisy, playing loud music too and are a bunch of rude inconsiderate w******.

AIBU [Am I being unreasonable] to complain to reception? I'm so tempted to do it anonymously - they do it every day. Today they were also playing really loud rave music by their caravans because everyone on the campsite needs to hear it."

It didn't take long for the post to gather attention with other Mumsnet users all suggesting the same thing.

"I'd just move all their belongings off and sit myself down," One said.

Another suggested a plot: "Move the stuff. When they come back deny all knowledge and say they were empty when you got there, but the lifeguards do collect abandoned towels and put them in a pile. (Point to the pile you put the stuff in). Glasses on shrug and back to sunning yourself. I have done this multiple times."

One wrote: "It does sound a bit 'carry on'. Or Hunger Games crossed with musical chairs. I suspect the serial offenders would rock up at the music hours and it would all be in vain."

"Talk to Reception. I have been to places where they say if loungers are not used for half an hour, they will be freed up for other users. Staff put their stuff in a box," a fourth advised.

"I'd bring it to their attention yes, it's not fair on the guests who actually want to use the beds but if they are not saying anything about the loud music I wouldn't hold out much hope," another interjected.

And one echoed: "Talk to the reception, not anonymously, preferably in French if you can. Tell them that there are some decent people from the UK and it would not be acceptable here either."

In the end, the annoyed tourist announced her plan: "Going to write an anonymous note to reception with their pitch numbers."
