British sunbed vigilante hailed a ‘hero’ for targeting ‘pool hoggers’ | News World

A British holidaymaker has gone viral after stripping the towels from a whole row of sun loungers at a Tenerife hotel to provide ‘the dirty pool hoggers slightly surprise’.

Racheal Rogers filmed herself going sunbed vigilante on the four-star Mediterranean Palace in the favored resort of Playa de las Americas.

She later hit out at tourists ‘coming down of their pyjamas and dressing gowns’ at 6am to assert a main sunbathing spot only to ‘toddle off’ to the beach or the shops for hours, adding: ‘It’s not on.’

Set to The Heavy’s ‘How Do You Like Me Now?’, the clip shows her gleefully removing towels from no less than eight poolside loungers – then ending with a celebratory dance and a curtsy for the camera.

Within the caption, she wrote: ‘All week the identical people would bag their spot by the pool. So today we decided to provide them slightly surprise and take them. All you on the Mediterranean Palace in Tenerife, yes it was us.’

One follower said: ‘Well done. All hotels should try this.’

One other replied: ‘Give this woman a free holiday.’

And a 3rd said: ‘The hero we didn’t ask for but needed’ before occurring to explain the Brit as ‘My idol.’

Others labelled her decision to fold the towels as ‘pure class’ with one other fan writing: ‘Good. Hope someone bought you a couple of drinks.’

Overnight sun lounger warrior Rachael returned to social media and in a brand new post said: ‘I had to return on to answer.

‘I can’t imagine how this video has blown up. I’ve got 800,000 views I believe on the last count.

‘I’ve had plenty of comments from people asking why I’m doing it when there’s plenty of sunbeds still available.

‘The explanation I did it was because half an hour later those places wouldn’t have been available.

‘People would have been coming down and those who had come down of their pyjamas and dressing gowns after which toddled off to bed and left their towels down, are on the beach or walking around the shops by then having fun with themselves, having their lunch, having their breakfast.

‘They’re coming back around two within the afternoon and wanting those seats that they reserved at six within the morning.

‘It’s not on, it’s not on.

‘I do know there have been numerous seats available once I acted since it was early, we got up early, and I just thought as they were putting them down, we’d take them off.
‘That’s what we did for about an hour. It was only a little bit of fun.

‘We didn’t stay to observe the carnage when the individuals who had left their towels out got here back, but you shouldn’t be reserving sun loungers in the event you’re not going to sit down on them.

‘Go and have a little bit of lunch, half an hour or that, but after that you just either need to sit down in your sun lounger or give it to another person. We’ve all paid the identical for the vacation, we’re all entitled to sit down by the pool.’

She added: ‘Whether I’m the issue or not, I don’t give a stuff to be honest.

‘I enjoyed doing it and if I’d had a bit more time I’d have carried on and I’d even have thrown a few of them within the pool.’

More fans responded with one saying: ‘Totally agree. I really like this. All of us wish to do it.’

One other added: ‘Absolutely fab. Need more people such as you on holiday.’
