A British holidaymaker has gone viral after stripping the towels from a whole row of sun loungers at a Tenerife hotel to provide \u2018the dirty pool hoggers slightly surprise\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Racheal Rogers filmed herself going sunbed vigilante on the four-star Mediterranean Palace in the favored resort of Playa de las Americas.<\/p>\n

She later hit out at tourists \u2018coming down of their pyjamas and dressing gowns\u2019 at 6am to assert a main sunbathing spot only to \u2018toddle off\u2019 to the beach or the shops for hours, adding: \u2018It\u2019s not on.\u2019<\/p>\n

Set to The Heavy\u2019s \u2018How Do You Like Me Now?\u2019, the clip shows her gleefully removing towels from no less than eight poolside loungers \u2013 then ending with a celebratory dance and a curtsy for the camera.<\/p>\n

Within the caption, she wrote: \u2018All 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.\u2019<\/p>\n

One follower said: \u2018Well done. All hotels should try this.\u2019<\/p>\n

And a 3rd said: \u2018The hero we didn\u2019t ask for but needed\u2019 before occurring to explain the Brit as \u2018My idol.\u2019<\/p>\n

Others labelled her decision to fold the towels as \u2018pure class\u2019 with one other fan writing: \u2018Good. Hope someone bought you a couple of drinks.\u2019<\/p>\n

Overnight sun lounger warrior Rachael returned to social media and in a brand new post said: \u2018I had to return on to answer.<\/p>\n

\u2018I can\u2019t imagine how this video has blown up. I\u2019ve got 800,000 views I believe on the last count.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019ve had plenty of comments from people asking why I\u2019m doing it when there\u2019s plenty of sunbeds still available.<\/p>\n

\u2018The explanation I did it was because half an hour later those places wouldn\u2019t have been available.<\/p>\n

\u2018People 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.<\/p>\n

\u2018They\u2019re coming back around two within the afternoon and wanting those seats that they reserved at six within the morning.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s not on, it\u2019s not on.<\/p>\n

\u2018I 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\u2019d take them off.
\n\u2018That\u2019s what we did for about an hour. It was only a little bit of fun.<\/p>\n

\u2018We didn\u2019t stay to observe the carnage when the individuals who had left their towels out got here back, but you shouldn\u2019t be reserving sun loungers in the event you\u2019re not going to sit down on them.<\/p>\n

\u2018Go 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\u2019ve all paid the identical for the vacation, we\u2019re all entitled to sit down by the pool.\u2019<\/p>\n

She added: \u2018Whether I\u2019m the issue or not, I don\u2019t give a stuff to be honest.<\/p>\n

\u2018I enjoyed doing it and if I\u2019d had a bit more time I\u2019d have carried on and I’d even have thrown a few of them within the pool.\u2019<\/p>\n

More fans responded with one saying: \u2018Totally agree. I really like this. All of us wish to do it.\u2019<\/p>\n

One other added: \u2018Absolutely fab. Need more people such as you on holiday.\u2019<\/p>\n
