Woman captures 'sad' tourists sprinting to reserve hotel sun loungers at 9am | The Sun

A WOMAN captured the ridiculous moment tourists are caught running to the sun loungers at 9am on holiday.

TikTok user Svetlana was on holiday in Majorca when she spotted the huge crowd of tourists making the mad dash.


In the video, tourists with towels and inflatables are caught dashing for the swimming pool to reserve the sunbeds.

Within seconds, all of the sun loungers are taken with towels and bags put on top of them.

The video has been watched nearly 2million times, and others are just as baffled.

One person wrote: "That’s really sad that people would go to that lengths just to get a chair at the pool."

In 2018, a man revealed he even broke his toe during the morning sunbed rush.
