Such a great episode! LOL
I understand your concern, but I do wonder what good complaining to a desk clerk is going to do about some guest being drunk on a bus.A couple of years ago, a man was standing on the bus going back to our bus from the MK. It was late and he was VERY drunk. He happened to be standing next to my daughter and the bus was very crowded so I couldn't change seats with her. He began to hover over her and drool! I thought he was going to pass out. His friends held him up, and I watched him like a hawk in case I needed to channel my "Mama Bear." Nothing more happened and when I complained to the front desk at my hotel they just apologized and said they can't exclude guests from boarding the bus.

And then the eventual, "no one games the system. they all need it...every single one of them"Or the inevitable judgmental polar opposite from the usual Richards who are able to diagnose a person with a single glance....
I'm not ignoring anything. Just not playing the Richard role and blanketing everyone in a ECV or wheelchair with the same label....And then the eventual, "no one games the system. they all need it...every single one of them"
listen, I get it. Some people need assistance and they should get it. But to ignore the fact that there are people gaming the system or just being lazy is naive and foolish
Well for the record I straddle both sides of the fence on this issue. When I see someone get off a stroller and walk without a care my thought process is often "Wha...why they...they don't need...oooooh...OK...I don't know 'em...that could very well be as much as they can walk...they could be doing their best to avoid walking like a limp so they look 'normal' and not get looks of pity...hey look a shiny object" and the curiosity and the rage are both gone.
The transition gets faster as I get older. In part because EVERYTHING in my body hurts now, but I'm pretty good at not showing it. As I write it seems (according to people who've dealt with similar issues) that I have some kind of pinched sciatic nerve after throwing my back out, the pain steers from my back around my right, down my butt cheek and around to the front of my leg like one long perpetual "charley horse." I can walk without looking like an old man but I need to get it checked before my next trip or else it's gonna be unbearable. So I can better relate to people who put on that brave face because they don't want to draw attention to themselves. I know I don't want to draw attention to myself. It's hard enough I'm so damned handsome.
there was a gay gentleman wearing a t-shirt that said: "My BJ (spelled out) brings all the boys to the yard"
I pee in my back yard all the time. Of courser it's 19 acres and no one is around.OMG that's horrible!!! It's one thing if a young child has an accident, but to stand there and LET your child do that! I would NEVER let any of my kids do that! Sheesh... I don't even let my boys pee in our backyard!
We have not even 1/2 acre and have neighbors on both sides and a main road behind us! Not exactly private like your yard.I pee in my back yard all the time. Of courser it's 19 acres and no one is around.
Last year we were in line for the Cars or Monsters meet & greet, forget which it was. A family in front of us had their kid go pee behind a planter on the pavement..
OMG that's horrible!!! It's one thing if a young child has an accident, but to stand there and LET your child do that! I would NEVER let any of my kids do that! Sheesh... I don't even let my boys pee in our backyard!
Think I would rather step in some pee than the stuff from the other side or vomit for that matter.I pee in my back yard all the time. Of courser it's 19 acres and no one is around.
My wife and I were talking and we remembered two things from our last trip:
- A woman, in her 20s-30s, wearing shorts and belly shirt with her thong hanging out. It wasn't like she bent over and it showed...so it was showing as she walked...
- We were at MK during Pride Day, which let me preface by saying that I have gay friends and support them, any way, there was a gay gentleman wearing a t-shirt that said: "My BJ (spelled out) brings all the boys to the yard"
In my view, whether it's thong woman or t-shirt dude, Disney should have asked them both to fix their attire.
Apparently this happened today
I think photography of people doing stupid / shameful things at WDW will be a side project of mine next visit...
