Chair hogs: Fact or fiction?

[skippyy]

...here we go again... :D

 

This is simple people! The guy could have used his time much more productively by doing what I do:

 

1. I get up around 7 or so to exercise.

 

2. I grab a piece of fruit and head back to my room to wake up my hubby.

 

3. We go up on deck and grab the two chairs that we want that don't have bodies in them.

 

4. If those two desired chairs have magazines, one/two shoes, a towel, a bag,etc...we pick it up, hand it to the nearest ship rep (whoever that happens to be, from the CD to the lido waiter), and explain that it must have been lost or left, because it was sitting in an empty chair.

 

5. Walk back to our chairs and sit down and enjoy our vacation.

 

We've only been approached one time and we've done this...gosh, I don't know, 40 times? When the chair hog slinked up and wondered if anyone had seen their belongings we simply replied that he would probably be better off checking with lost and found. Maybe they'd seen something?

 

And if anyone did pitch their big, stupid fit, then I'd have quite a bit to say to the inconsiderate smuck who thinks the pool chairs are "theirs". He'd be confused, but we wouldn't have a moments hesitation in clearing them up. We paid for this vacation too and whether anyone likes it or not, if you leave your things in an empty chair for a couple of hours and expect to come back to "your" chair, you deserve to have your stuff thrown overboard. Be grateful that I'm kind enough to place it in the lost and found where you can still retrieve it.

 

And anyone who is skewed enough to believe that every person who's ever broken any rule shouldn't say anything to anyone who's currently breaking one, then you deserve to climb your fanny to the highest chair and be stuck there all day or whatever you perceive to be a rude inconvenience. It's a straw man arguement and makes no sense. Try a new tune. It implies that perfection is required to have a confrontation or to instill the rules. Since that isn't possible, then I guess, based on your rediculous arguement, that no one on the planet has any right to instill or defend rules and regulations. Silly, silly, defense....

WOW:eek: anyone have the guts to be next:confused:

You did! :D

 

And yep, we've hit on my one big irritation while cruising....the elusive, chair hog.

 

I can deal with the line breakers, the elevator kid terrors, the 500 lbs gorilla in line in the buffet with three seperate plates, even the chair hogs for the theatre don't bug me like these guys. We all have peeves, right? ;)

OK, if that said what I said better, or nicer then I apologize. I only said "childish and narrow minded", but I really do like

"Skewed"

"climb your fanny"

"straw man argument"

"makes no sense"

"Try a new tune"

"ridiculous"

 

and of course

 

"Silly silly".

 

Kristi! You are great!

OK I will.........you snooze you loose:D

[skippyy]

:eek::eek:Kristi, I do believe you've licked all the red off the lollipop...everyone

is clicking on you and checking for outstanding warrants etc.:eek:Thanks

for providing you candid ? comments...your temporary admirer,..skippyy:)

[SkiAz4Free]

Jeez, what a bunch of namby pambies...

 

Just move their crap and sit in the friggen chair! What's so hard about that? Better yet, go around and collect all the belongings that are laid out and pile them all up on one single chair, then laugh hysterically as they all try and shuffle through the pile to find their stuff. Meanwhile, order yourself a foo foo drink and give 'em a nice thumbs up when they give you the stink eye.

 

Man, I can't WAIT for my cruise!

 

:D

Does my bringing booze onboard take away from your fun, or use of the ship?

 

PLEASE!!! Tell me your ways! I've been trying to figure this out, what's the secret? I heard that they really go through your stuff at the gate.

Chair Hogs Beware. I go on Freedom this Saturday, I am an early riser. I will do Carnivals job for them. Just for kicks, and I will report back after cruise how many towels, etc I pick up and turn in to lost and found. Give me something to do while the wife sleeps late. Will take pics of what I turn in for all you chair hog lovers. :D:D:D:D

[Cruisin' Ron VA]

Julia Sugarbaker is in the house!

 

WOOT! WOOT! Holla! :D

[Kristi Williamson]

LMAO!! You guys are marvelous!

 

 

...thank you...thank you...I'll be here all week! :D

 

 

I am, typically, much more fun than that post implied, by the way. Chair hogs just irritate me. As Julia Sugarbaker would say...Manners are free, we should all have some. ;)

[Tapi]

...

2. I grab a piece of fruit and head back to my room to wake up my hubby.

...

 

Exactly how do you use a piece of fruit to wake your hubby up? :confused::)

Its ok. I took it better than the other post.

 

I guess I should explain myself a little more clearly so as to avoid bringing out the ignorance in others. NO NOT YOU.

 

Thanks again Julia.

 

:D

These are family friendly boards, Tapi. What happens in the room, stays in the room, dear.

 

Well, unless you consider that one time my hubby and I... :D

That was YOU?!?

Wow, I can send you copies of the pictures MY hubby took if you want them. ;)

[TrevyMcShaw]

My personal favorite was Ski's idea...that would be a funny sight to see. I'm not the type to do that sort of thing though. I don't hesitate to turn in items such as a book, or a bag, or shoes if I've been eyeballing a chair for over an hour and no one has come near it. I've also had the "chair owners" have a hissy fit on me when they stroll up and ask, "Are you gonna let me have MY chair back!?!" That's when I felt the first roots sprouting out of my fanny, and I knew I had better put on some sunscreen because I was gonna be in that chair for a while.

Tapi :eek: is this the start of another thread for you, Kristi and your,

once again temporary, depraved fans:confused: Clarification before you jump

on me, "temporary fan" , permanently depraved..clear enough:)

Oh my! Yes, that was me. :o

 

But, don't worry about the pics...I think the ones we took turned out fine! LOL ;)

Hey, they looked good on youtube:eek:

How many deck chairs did you reserve with various pieces of fruit and undergarments to do all of this and for how long? :confused:

[amjdcm]

I loved your video. What i do when i encounter a towel, magazine, or book on a deck chair so early in the morning is that i move the chair one row back and put my empty chair in its place. the hogs reserved a chair,but not a location. when they come out i tell them that this is how i found the chairs. they have nothing to say.

 

I know that the pool chair hog topic has been beaten to death over and over on these boards, but I came across this little video this morning which shows the chair hogs in action.

 

 

Watching it made me want to grab a trash can and just throw all those towels and bags in it! :D

LOL You've gotta scroll back, Cruisin' Ron. We've completely gotten off track and hi-jacked the thread.

 

Sorry about that.

 

...now back to your regularly scheduled chair hogging thread... :)

Uh oh did we break a rule? :eek:

[skippyy]

so, if my wife was asleep in the room...and I carried her out and put

her in a poolside chair...and I went to the casino for awhile...would

that be chair hogging ( I like that earlier term "chogging") :confused: or

does it have to be an inanimate object (try saying that while drinking rum:eek: ) p.s. Kristi, saw your other post about oranges, you and fruit could

be a serious problem:p

[andy03]

Why would you want to be the one saving chairs for your friends...I hate that feeling of people staring you down. Its like when you are with a large party of people at a restaurant, but your the first to arrive and you are sitting at a table of 8 and everyone is late. Then the people who are waiting for a table are staring at you. I hate that.

 

If your friends want a chair, tell them to get their butts up our of bed and then plop it in a chair.

 

Personally, I hate those chairs. I feel like an old lady trying to get in and out of them.

 

hear hear i can see myself arguing over these selfish idiots in may!
