How come no one has suggest that a "beach resort" should have a better supply of beach chairs?
because that's off topic

Can you explain why it is ok for a pool attendant to move their stuff, but it is not ok for me to move their stuff?
I beg to differ.they can be jerks to the other guests, you can't

I don't get this. First, I do not understand why I need permission from the hotel staff to use an abandoned chair. Second, a hotel staff worker could be a teenager working the summer for extra money, and depending on where you are, especially if you are outside of the U.S., some of them do not speak English so it would be difficult to communicate in any event, so I don't see the need for me to seek their opinion, I can draw my own.If it's much more than 30 minutes I would go to the hotel staff and ask them if they would allow me to take the "abandoned" chairs.
The hotels have learned from the airlines: It's cheaper to pit your customers against each other competing for limited space/equipment, than to provide an adequate amount for each paying customer.
(Just to be clear, I am making a joke, I do not think I was being a jerk)
Bingo.
I...It's akin to stepping or pocketing a golf ball that was accidentally hit into your group. Bad juju.
I don't remember fighting other passengers on an airline for a seat or to get my suitcase to the destination so I don't think this is true.
Several years back, a group of us were at a very nice all-inclusive in Mexico. On Day 1, luckily, we were able to get enough beach chairs for the whole group, even though it was pretty crowded. The hotel had waiters on the beach to deliver drinks to the customers. We drank a lot, but tipped our waiter well, even though tips were supposedly included in the all-inclusive fee. As we were leaving the beach at the end of the day, we mentioned to our waiter that we would see him tomorrow. Next day (and for the rest of the week after that), our waiter rushed to greet us when we came back done to the beach and escorted us to a group of chairs he had set up and saved for us in a very prime shady location. We tipped him even better after that. Money well spent. I will admit, however, that we've not been able to replicate this feat in many subsequent trips, despite keeping up the good tipping.

I remember brawls breaking out for overhead carryon space when some thought 4 & 5 ocean steamer size bags was ok as long as they got on the plane before you.
I'm not sure that is true...so far the ratio of people that think it is rude to "save" beach chairs compared to those who say it is not is 22:7...that's more than 3:1... in election terms that is a landslide.sounds like the rest of us disagree - forum intervention lol
Right but the flight attendants sort it out and the luggage still gets to the destination.
As far as whether I was being a jerk, well maybe, but I don't think you can say that everyone agrees with that, there seems to be a variety of opinions.

I disagree that it is your chair.
