Told to leave spa area

Today I went to a smallish spa and the big (and only selling point) is the infinity pool.

Me and my friend were the only two in it until two other women joined. Maybe 5 minutes later a couple came in and one of the women turned to us and said “we should go and leave the couple to it”

Aibu to think being a couple doesn’t give you priority and neither should you ask other adults to leave when you have zero authority

Unless it was getting crowded and she just wanted the couple to have a chance to relax in the pool too, YANBU at all!

likepebblesonabeach · 25/05/2024 23:51

It depends what happened next.
If you left then moaned about it YABU
If you said "no it's fine we're happy to stay" YANBU

Id have said awww thankyou and kissed my friend 🤣🤣

ReadingSoManyThreads · 25/05/2024 23:32

Sounds like she was just joking, like in the "get a room", type comments, it's just a joke.

Not much to go on with your post though!

The temptation to lean in close, lock eyes and stage whisper "yes, we should go, they might want to have sexy time in private".................

I would have stayed till I wrinkled like a prune but I’m petty like that.,

damned right

and I’m a swimmer so I’d have done sodding laps for fucking hours 🤣

Yanbu on these points but yabu on making this thread as you weren't told to leave, someone suggested it and it was fine to not do so. You don't need a thread to reassure you that you are ok to use spa facilities that you've paid for.

TwattyMcFuckFace · 25/05/2024 22:41

Why is MN so full of these threads lately?

I mean threads with really scant information from OPs? It's like pulling bloody teeth.

SD1978 · 25/05/2024 22:39

Nope and nope. Everyone is entitled to be there and what the hell do they need 'privacy' for- if I've paid I'm getting my full use from it!

Elieza · 25/05/2024 22:33

I'd have laughed and said "no thanks. I've paid and I'm staying. The couple can get a room if they want privacy. You can leave if you want to."

“I’m ok thanks, I was just about to pee” 😂

😂😂

fieldsofbutterflies · 25/05/2024 22:13

You weren't told to leave at all Confused

Eggmoobean · 25/05/2024 22:04

“ oh bless you! Off you go then”
then I would have stayed.

Testina · 25/05/2024 22:01

She might have been making conversation. She certainly wasn’t telling you to leave!

ForestDad · 25/05/2024 21:59

Maybe the couple were being too friendly with each other for the stranger who was making a PA comment aimed at them?

rwalker · 25/05/2024 21:56

I would if only moved it there was limited space and it was a bit crowded
because wouldn’t want to hog it if it people were waiting

but I would big thought it could hold more than 5 people

Purplecatshopaholic · 25/05/2024 21:53

Err, say what now? I hope you didn’t actually leave? What a batshit thing to say - and even more batshit if you did it…

CostelloJones · 25/05/2024 21:49

“I’m ok thanks, I was just about to pee” 😂

WigglyVonWaggly · 25/05/2024 21:45

“We won’t be leaving, thanks” is what I’d say!

CostelloJones · 25/05/2024 21:43

I would be in there until I dissolved and they had to change the water

Momstermunch · 25/05/2024 20:37

Well she wasn't even asked to leave by a member of the public?! A member of the public suggested they leave. That's completely different. My first thought was maybe the couple were kissing or something and it was a tongue in cheek comment.

Funnywonder · 25/05/2024 20:37

Yeah, agree about the whole 'told' aspect of it. Sounds more like a suggestion. From someone with no authority whatsoever. Nothing happened🤷🏻‍♀️

Psychoticbreak · 25/05/2024 20:28

I would have to be removed in a body bag.

Show quote history

😂

ThinWomansBrain · 25/05/2024 20:33

the title says "told" - implies that the hotel/spa staff told you to leave - another guest saying she felt she/you ought to leave is somewhat different.

IncognitoUsername · 25/05/2024 20:32

Momstermunch · 25/05/2024 20:30

You weren't told to leave though were you?!

True - title is misleading. OP was asked to leave by a member of the public, not told to leave by a member of staff.
