Well am i?

[Wasrelaxing]

I dont want to tar all youngsters with the same brush but im seeing it more and more.
Currently on holiday sitting buy the pool. The hotel has a couple of families staying, many couple of mixed ages and quite a few 70 & 80 year olds.
The pool is busy, people chatting, kids occasionally screaming in delight.
Today 7 young girls have arrived. They have sat on the pool edge right in front of our sunloungers, ok i know i am being a bit precious now, but i like to get in the pool and then hang around by my lounger to talk to the family. They are swearing like anything with again is annoying and then they decide to put on music, really loud. I say, exasperated, 'oh c'mon girls that a bit much' and Mark says 'if you want to listed to music put your headphones on. The girls are now sulking but have turned it off.
One of them then goes to reception and comes back saying they can play it quietly.

The girls are stating that this is their hokiday and they should be able to do what they like.
Ok so yes, do what you like but what about being respectful of everyone else there.

I have come away from the pool. The faces of everyone around the pool says they are not happy either.

In the meantime the manager says he cant do anything and he knows its loud as he could hear it next door. We need to speak to the rep and ask them to deal with it.

As it so happens we are leaving in a few hours so we wont go chasing the rep.

But why do their wants trump everyone else?

Its just me me me me me

YANBU they are absolutely allowed to sit there but playing loud music isn't on

Thanks. I do worry i am getting crabby in my old age!

How old are these 'young girls'? Children young or young women young? If they are children then their parents should be making sure they aren't being disruptive. If they are young adults I don't understand why the manager isn't telling them to turn their music off? It's antisocial to play audible music in public places, I don't understand why people do it but it seems commonplace.

I'd say they were 19/20. All arrived wearing matching tshirts.

shit manager saying they can play their music out loud. probably just cba dealing with the fuss they would make.

Funnily enough we had the same situation a couple of days ago. It was a group of 4 playing music with loads of swearing. My husband asked them to turn it down, which they did after a bit of arguing.

One of them went to the loo and it switched off, presumably it had disconnected from their speaker. My husband then picked his phone up and connected it. He had great fun going through my Spotify playlist and played Fly By by Blue, Cool for The Summer by Demi Lovato then wrapped it up with Disney's Frozen, all through their lovey Bose speaker.

Honestly it's one of the funniest things I've seen in a while. All 4 of them shaking it, looking at their phones and trying to connect. Serves them right 🤣

YANBU

@ButDoYouAvocado i am gutted we didnt get the opportunity to do that. How very funny. Kudos to your husband.

'Oh whoooopsa-daisy! I just accidentally kicked your speaker into the pool - sorreeeeeee'

@gokartdillydilly

Ooo yes.

So by young girls, you mean adult women. I was thinking you should tell one of their parents!

Yeah playing music like that is annoying

We experienced this on holiday, gone are the days when you think of others. We had a group of teenagers in the room next to us playing music really loud at 10 0 clock at night, had been on for 3 hours. I rang reception as my kids were trying to get to sleep. Cue the dad banging on my door having a massive go at us, how it's their holiday and are entitled to have a good time. Then 3am in the morning they were running up and down the corridor screaming outside our door. We also had a large family (10 or more) taking over the pool every day doing dares of going round sucking other people's toes and trying to kiss other holidaymakers. Lots of people complained to the rep.

If it carries on, chuck the radio in the pool, it will probably get a cheer from everyone. Selfish twats.

i Then 3am in the morning they were running up and down the corridor screaming outside our door.

Knock loudly on their doors at 6.30am.

YABVU to call 20 year olds 'young girls'. My two year old is a young girl.

They sound annoying though.

I'd be cross about the swearing. As would the manager if they had enough of a backbone to challenge it

Ugh I hate this. Sane as people on buses and trains who play their music without headphones. Nope, I'm not interested in hearing your gangsta rap!

This is why I refuse to stay in hotels now! I can’t stand the other people! Always get a private villa.

Feel like at 33 I’ve got to the stage in life when I don’t want to compete with the general public for pool space etc.

@miowington i totally agree.

i agree with you 100% about being pissed off as i wouldn't put up with that either but at 19/ 20 i was a grown woman sharing a flat with my boyfriend and a good paying job so at that age i would have took offense as being called a young girl

so for that you were being unreasonable

i expected you to say 11-13ish

Meowington me too, can't stand other people being noisy/inconsiderate in public places. I am definitely getting old (44) but I'd be annoyed too OP.
