A video shared on Reddit has revealed a female guest shaving her legs in a busy hotel pool.

As several children swim close by, the woman passes the razor up her calves and thighs, while sitting on the pool steps.

It is not known where the photo was taken but since it was posted 15 hours ago by a user called Screwsausage it has been upvoted more than 54,000 times and has attracted around 1650 comments.

One commenter said: “That is so disgusting.

“Imagine the inadvertent gulp of water that sometimes happens when you’re swimming … with all the shaved hair in it.”

Another wrote: “Even worse, she nicks herself with the razor and now there’s blood in the pool and she’s bound to get an infection.”

But while the footage is shocking for most viewers, seasoned public pool staff claim that it was just a drop in the ocean compared to what they regularly witness.

One commenter called Muh_feelz said: “I used to work at a public pool and for whatever reason they attract the worst of humanity.

“I would never swim in a public pool after that experience.”

It’s not just badly behaved guests by the pool that are putting hotel regulars off though.

Earlier this month, Sun Online Travel revealed the growing trend for people wearing pyjamas down to hotel breakfast.

Instead of throwing on a pair of shorts and a T-shirt, these holiday-makers are helping themselves to the self-serve buffet in flannel PJs, dressing gowns and slippers.

Many have taken to the internet to shame the culprits, sharing their disgust at eating their eggs and bacon next to such dishevelled human beings everywhere from Mumsnet and Quora to Twitter and Facebook.
