Posted on Bali forum 01 Sep,I remember when we could stay in the Jayakarta without the yobbos.....
Well...now I have seen it all...poolside fight nearly broke out because of "claim of ownership" to poolside chairs. Two couples went to lie on some chairs, that seemed to be vacant, due to the previous people being gone for a great length of time, (think they went for a long lunch) although the previous people left their poolside towels on these chairs (claim of ownership?), I don't know whether that gives them the right to claim these chairs as "theirs". Anyway the events that unfolded when the people came back from their long lunch, was not only ugly but an embarrassement to the Aussies. The lady who claimed this was her chair, would not give up the fight, nor would the couple who sat down just moments before saying...read the signs, you can't claim a chair as yours. The first lady went as far, as laying on top of the 2nd lady....lots of swearing...and I mean lots and of course the threatening of a fight to break out....security was bought into the situation, but they themselves couldn't sort the problem out. So the second couple left, totally annoyed at what had happend, but the first lady, couldn't give a crap and was quite smug with herself, even the young girls sitting near her gave her a mouthful and said to her she was a total embarrassement to fellow Australians. Had to be seen to be believed....by the way, there were other chairs available....
