Dumb Park Guests and their False Sense of Entitlement

Was he or she on a cellphone by chance?

We actually ended up just alerting security, but we didn't have a good description of them, and we couldn't leave our posts. We just called on my cell phone, and they said they would keep an eye out. They couldn't do anything, really, though.

It just shocked me (well, sort of) that people would literally put their lives in danger in that way.

I couldn't tell you specifically. It doesn't really matter, now, does it?

The gentleman (I use the word lightly) was definitely British, not Australian or Southern (Southern...? That's a new one--confusing British and Southern). I'm decent at picking up accents, but really stink at speaking them. :brick: And I know a good Southern accent when I hear one. They do still exist in Florida--you just have to get out of the city. In the country, where my parents live, you would be shot for calling Florida a Yankee state.

Thanks, all, for the welcome.

Florida is kind of weird when it comes to “southern” accents and culture. The farther you drive north the more southern you get.

A note about accents in New England. I was born in Boston, but never developed the "Boston" accent. I actually pronounce all my "R"s. Add to that the fact that I am generally pretty laid back, and though I lived almost my entire life in Massachusetts, many times people that met me would ask how I liked it "around here." When I asked where they thought I was from, I got answers such as: Maine, Texas, the South and once, I actually did get someone asking if I was from England. They must have thought that I had lost my accent and just had a hint underlying in my voice. It's possible that I had mimicked a British accent shortly before then and still had a trace of it, but I didn't think I had. I also tend to pick up the accents of people I talk to, so if I ever met barnum in person, I might start to sound like him. I already curse like a Brit, complete with buggers and bloody hells.

If you know how to correctly use "bloody" you will be a unique American :lol: I wonder if you use my favourite British cuss word - a eight letter word that refers to two spherical anatomical objects?

B******* to that!

I was once asked if I was Italian before!

I've had people say my accent is midwestern, which is funny, cause that's the one of the few areas of the country that I've never lived.

I started doing a Brooklyn accent as a joke once, and and people started asking if I was from Brooklyn.
