RACHEL MCGUIGAN AND HER HUSBAND DAVID DIVIDED OPINION AFTER THEY PLACED TOWELS ON THEIR POOLSIDE SUNBEDS WHILE THEY WENT FOR THEIR MORNING MEAL - NOW THEY'VE DEFENDED THEIR ACTIONS
09:16, 04 Jun 2025Updated 10:47, 04 Jun 2025 A holidaying couple have defended putting towels on their sunbeds while nipping for breakfast after sparking furious reactions online. Rachel
McGuigan and her husband David enjoyed a plush vacation in Turkey. The couple, who work for a water gardening company, were holidaying with their friends Adam and Hayley. The couple, from
York, stayed at The Residence Hotel in the resort of Fethiye, west of Antalya. But Rachel divided opinion after she placed towels on their poolside beds for half an hour while they visited
the resort's restaurant. One angry holidaymaker, Harry Crumb, said: "I just remove them, if full. I don't care and the hotel doesn't care." READ MORE: Livid Brits

resorts." But another person leapt to their defence, saying: "I don't understand. I thought it was normal to get up, grab your towels, pop them on your bed then go for
breakfast." "I just thought it was crazy that people were so upset about leaving a towel for half an hour to go for breakfast," Rachel told What's The Jam. "They
accused me of being selfish and all sorts." DO YOU USE A TOWEL TO RESERVE A SUN LOUNGER? Take our poll below. If you can't see it, CLICK HERE Article continues below Rachel, from
York, then posted about it on her 'Holidays & Hangovers' TikTok page. She then decided to stoke the fires further by posting a joke one of her leaving towels at 5.30am to go on
a series of fake excursions that lasted until bedtime. The punchline was that they never got to spend a minute on the sunbeds they reserved at dawn. In the footage, she shared a screenshot
of an angry user's message that read: "Really annoys me that people put towels on sunbeds then go away somewhere? Why? Everyone wants to enjoy their holiday." Rachel captioned
her clip: "Fine, you've all caught me out, this is how our day really looked…" However, many furious Brits took the joke literally and flooded her comments section for a
second time. One riled tourist said: "So you reserved the beds and didn't use them but wouldn't let anyone else use them? Have you ever thought that you may be the
problem?" Another raged: "You go on holiday for a rest but end up getting up early like you do at home just to put towels out. Hotels are not for me, that's why I Airbnb, not
having a go, just saying." "The most council estate thing ever!" said a third, while Craig remarked: "Some people ain't getting the joke, love it!" After
ruffling a few feathers, Rachel explained: "After the first time, I thought it would be funny to play up to it. "It was a joke and I didn't expect anyone to take it seriously,
but I ended up opening a can of worms about sunbed reservations!" Article continues below She added: "We went to The Residence in Fethiye for two weeks in May for the second year
running. "There wasn't a lack of sunbeds so putting our towels down before going for breakfast wasn't an issue for anyone. I was surprised with everyone commenting about
it." Rachel admitted it can be "annoying" when some tourists leave their towels on sunbeds "for hours on end". But she doesn't see it as a problem if it's
"only for half an hour and someone stays with them".
