Charliesmom Posted November 5, 2006 #3 Share Posted November 5, 2006 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.

spongerob Posted November 5, 2006 #4 Share Posted November 5, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threejs Posted November 5, 2006 #5 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Isn't it sad when the wind blows their personal belongings to other chairs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Caroline Posted November 5, 2006 #6 Share Posted November 5, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Host Caroline Posted November 5, 2006 #8 Share Posted November 5, 2006 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisin' Chick Posted November 5, 2006 #10 Share Posted November 5, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLC@SD Posted November 5, 2006 #11 Share Posted November 5, 2006 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southnevada Posted November 6, 2006 #12 Share Posted November 6, 2006 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. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandytoes Posted November 6, 2006 #13 Share Posted November 6, 2006 :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.....
