[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who leave just a towel thrown over a chair and then leave for hours?
Like 6-10 chairs for their group.

I take their spots if they are only seats available.

Well aren't you just a peach. Bless your little heart. [/quote]

I do, too. 
I don't go to fancy resorts, but at our local neighborhood pool people do the towel toss thing on chairs and entire tables and leave for an hour to swim. 
If there are no other tables, I just invite myself to join. 
This is not the same as the movie seats obviously, but I don't mind inviting myself to share. Likewise, I always offer people who are looking for seats to share my table. It works both ways. [/quote]

Um, if they are in the pool they are still there.  You think a person is supposed to remove their towel and belongings from the lounge chair/chair/table that they are sitting at every time they get up to go for a swim?  No way.

I think what folks are referring to are the people who come to the pool at 8am, stay for 30 minutes and then leave to go (? sight seeing? brunch? back to bed?) leaving behind their stuff to "save" their spot until they get back.  In that situation, I would move the items.

The beach is a little different.  People get up early, go out and stake their claim to a spot on the sand with their own chairs/umbrellas/towels.  And then they leave their stuff there all day while they come and go from the spot.  As long as they aren't taking up a huge amount of space, moving their stuff in that situation would be very rude, IMO.
