In yet ANOTHER case of a person taking their job just a bit too seriously, I was ‘told off’ today by a security guard! Well, scolded really.
Was I getting into fisticuffs with fellow guests? No! Walking around aimlessly drunk, scaring little children? Absolutely not.
I was given a public dressing down for….wait for it….’bagsing’ a poolside lounge bed!
To give you a clearer picture of the situation, I am currently staying at a lovely resort- a beautiful resort (sorry to rub it in!)
BY MYSELF.
Without kids!
For seven days!
The purpose of which is to relax and recharge from my crazy busy life of mum, speaker, writer and educator. So back to my scolding….
The day beds are hot property by the lagoon pool – I get that!

The security guard is doing his job, and doing it well it seems. You were hoarding a lounge chair and being a smarty about it. It's not his fault you forgot your water. He was correct, you were wrong.
So, if you're travelling alone, you don't get to go to the loo or such? Can't be 'hoarding' a lounge if you need to do number twos! Sounds like my trip on a Lufthansa jet with an infant. Sometimes it's just about an individual who gets off on exercising their (tiny) power over other human beings,
Bit harsh. Social rules do vary tho'; here a coat and a book might 'save' your library seat for 20 minutes; somewhere else you've lost your squatter's rights the second your bum leaves the chair.
