Dozens of holidaymakers raced to bag sun beds after waiting an hour to grab their favourite spots by the pool at a Spanish hotel.
More than 40 people joined the stampede at a hotel in Salou, just south of Tarragona on Spain’s Costa Daurada.
Chris, from Glasgow, Scotland, watched the rush as the poolside opened at 9am during his week-long stay at the hotel this month.
‘It was a manic race and scramble for the sunbeds surrounding the pool at the hotel’, he said.
The Glaswegian added: ‘I don’t judge but found it funny so had to film it.
He said people had queued up at the doors to get their towels on a sunbed every day of his holiday, only to then dash back inside for breakfast before returning for a swim.

Despite finding the scenes funny, he said it was unfair that guests who failed to get up early would miss out on a sunbed.
He said: ‘Some people jut rolled out of their bed, queued up, mad dashedto secure the bed then they were seen going back to their hotel rooms or off for breakfast.’
‘It doesn’t leave room for those who don’t queue for an hour.’
Chris, known as ABC Man on Tiktok, uploaded the video of the scramble, set to music from the Benny Hill show.
