Can't believe I don't know but,

 

Can anyone tell me specifically what a "Chair Hog" is?

 

I know what a hog is but........ I think my meaning is a

little different.

 

Thanks in advance!

In this instance, a chair hog is a person who shows up early to the pool area, puts a towel and a book on the chair and then leaves. The chair is reserved for them and those that need a chair don't have one. If people didn't do this, there would be enough chairs for everyone.

I had a great picture of a chair hog in action. I can't seem to find it. It was a man with a stack of pool towels, placing one towel each on a row of lounge chairs in a prime location, so that his family could come "whenever" to use the chairs. Placing a personal article on the chair precludes anyone else using it. Thus, they "hog" the chair.

Isn't it sad when the wind blows their personal belongings to other chairs?

Since it's been explained and this has been debated -- and fought over -- and reinterpreted over and over.. I'm going to let this go temporarily BUT not if it degenerates one iota.

Since the question was answered and a search of the words "chair hog" will bring up plenty of explanations, I'm going to close this thread to avoid another degeneration into chaos like the others on this topic:rolleyes:

I think most of us on this board believe that putting an object on a deck chair and then not using it for hours fits the description of a chair hog. And that it's inconsiderate. Hopefully those who just didn't really understand this why will realize that it's not a nice thing to do.

I have seen chair pigs.........people that reserve a chair in the shade with personal items and also............reserve a cahir nearby in the sun with personal items............and then go back and forth between the sun and shade.....:mad:

These are people that are a pain in the ass where ever they go. From the cruise ship to the interstate, they suck. And they know it and do not care. Trash cans are a good start for chair hogs.

:eek: southnevada - That was a bit too descriptive wouldn't ya say...

 

I didn't know what the term meant until I came to this board....How amusing it is to see & watch while lounging by the pool... Interesting to say the least. I guess it's human nature.....

You will only be able to recognize a chair hog if you aren't one yourself.
