Who knew that beach and pool etiquette was such a sore subject with so many folks? A recent survey by the Web site TripAdvisor of 3,800 people in the United States revealed that 84 percent of travelers agree saving beachside or poolside chairs by getting up early and leaving stuff on the chairs for hours is a no-no; 97 percent believe that it's a violation of beach and pool etiquette for parents to let their kids borrow others' sand or pool toys without asking permission.

Other findings: 53 percent of travelers say it's OK to urinate in the ocean if other swimmers aren't nearby, while 73 percent think the beach should be separated into kid-friendly and pet-friendly areas. Another 24 percent believe women to who wear revealing bikinis are violating beach/pool etiquette; and 35 percent say the same thing about men in Speedos.

The most common beach and pool etiquette violations cited by respondents were beach chair hogging; urinating in the water and littering. The most annoying violations included blasting loud music, smoking and again, urinating in the water.
