It's summer once again with the return of sunbed wars.
One holidaymaker has sparked outrage after a video of her efforts to secure a lounger went viral.
The TikTok video shows the sunseeker dropping off bottles of water and towels to 'reserve' a set of sunbeds, the Mirror reports.
Many viewers complained about the practice which becomes an issue every summer in the comments of the video.
The viral clip, which has racked up more than 1.8m views on TikTok, shows a digital clock indicates it is 6.55am in the morning.
The caption said: "Putting stuff on chairs and then staying in the pool/ocean all day so nobody else can use them. So annoying."
The video left people divided - as some fellow holidaymakers admitted they didn't see a problem with it.
One person wrote: "Nothing wrong with reserving a few chairs. I've done this. Early bird gets the worm - that's what you get for sleeping until 10."
Another added: "We do it all the time, you get up early, you save your spot, nothing wrong or against that."
A third wrote: "I think this is ok and I'm ok with other people doing it. They worked for it by waking early."
But others disagreed - and admitted they would just remove the bottle and towel.
One blasted: "The resort will remove the items after 15 mins. This is entitled behaviour."
"I come to the pool at 7 and stay there. Only leave for dip or drink. It's rude to reserve and not use," commented another.
"I love places where they go around removing them if nobody is using them. They are lounges not personal lockers," added one person.
"This is my holiday nightmare. I would chuck everything in the pool," admitted one ruthless holidaymaker.
