‘I’m trying to enjoy my hard-earned PTO’: Resort Karen dethroned by another vacationer after leaving the best pool umbrella unattended for 7 hours despite claiming it at 6 AM; gets taught a lesson – FAIL Blog

Apparently, there’s an unspoken rule at the fancy resorts that allows guests to claim pool loungers with nothing but a grimy flip flop or an old magazine. For hours, the best seats in the shade are empty as the late risers roll out of bed. As one who firmly believes that the early bird should get the worm, this unspoken rule irks me. While I understand that waking up at 6 AM to claim a good space by the pool demonstrates a valiant effort towards maximum chillage, I don’t think it’s right to assume that this pathetic display is enough to claim ownership over a chair for the entire day, when you’re not even present. 

That’s when you start straying into Karen territory…

Karens by the pool feel that they’re entitled to a certain level of queen treatment, but this vacationer made sure to call out her bad behavior after several days of lamenting over empty chairs. Day after day, they saw the Karen’s dusty pile of magazines to “claim” the best spot at the pool, but when they still hadn’t shown up 7 hours later, something had to be done. A lesson had to be taught. A Karen had to be reminded that she didn’t own this pool.
