Has anyone ever had another guest start an issue with you?

[ExtinctJenn]

In the defense of some people.. like me (who I am deaf) or other (who dont know English) sometimes the instructions aren't clear.. (some shows do have the instructions very clear , like a bug's and Captain EO;where big letters tell you to go all the way down)
Sometimes the people who shoo you are sometimes very rude and desperate.

To resume...more than once we were "What the hell do we do?".. when entering certain rides or shows.

Oh absolutely there are sometimes valid reasons... in each of our cases however, they heard us just fine and spoke perfect english when grumbling back at us.

I think I may have wrote this story before but here goes...


I was waiting in line with my family at RNR or it could have been HM, I really have issues remembering lately, well a young man was with a group and started smoking in queue. A young lady politely asked him to stop and he gave her attitude and dropped the dreaded c word on her. I got in his face, took the cigarette out of his mouth and told him not to smoke in line. I politely stood in his face with my arms folded ready to drop bombs on him that would have made Hiroshima look like a baby fart, and he did absolutely nothing, except wait patiently in line.

Moral of the story, smoking has designated areas, please stick to them, and don't call anyone the c word around me.


Jimmy Thick- And that includes water vapor.

My DH did the same thing to some punk kid once- smoking on the tram! Asked the kid politely to extinguish the cigarette and when he didn't, plucked it right out of his mouth and tossed it out! I was amazed- he's a laid back kind of guy (I'm the crazy one), some things really set him off though

No way. You pay for 2 seats you get 2 seats.

It was pretty funny but the seat next to me ended up open on my flight home. They kept saying the flight was completely full so maybe someone either missed the plane or got an earlier flight. I was sitting in the row with my 3 year old and an empty window seat. Across the aisle was a lady with a baby on her lap in the middle seat and a small kid in the window seat plus a business traveler guy in a suit on the aisle. When they closed the door and I knew we had an open seat I asked the man next to me if he was interested in switching seats with my wife who was a few rows up with my other son. He jumped at the opportunity to get away from the lady with the baby and get a window seat with the middle seat open. My son came over to my row and my wife sat in his seat. Everyone was happy. All you need to do is ask nicely and if the person says no let it go. They are doing you a favor and aren't obligated to do anything.

People don't seem to understand the concept these days

Smoking, or smoking where you should not tends to make the nicest person defensive, and rightfully so. Especially with children around.


Jimmy Thick- Its the cancer thing...

It's amazing how far things have come in the last 10 to 15 years. I remember going out to bars and coming home stinking like a giant cigarette. The next morning my hair would still smell like smoke. A few weeks ago I was in the Borgata in AC which still allows smoking. Casinos are one of the last places left where you can still smoke. I got back to my room and realized my clothes stunk like smoke. It had been so long since I experienced that. Definitely don't miss it.

We have several but the one that sticks out the most to me is this one:

We went in December once about 2 yrs back I think it was. I know its that little eating stand on the way to pirates.(it use to be a mcdonalds stand ) we had ordered some food from it and set in the little area with the tables when some teens set in the corner table. They were very loud and crude. My kids who were 9 and 8 at the time were eating when the teens started talking about taking it up the butt (it was the other word for butt) and talking about their male parts and pretending to puke over the wall. This was just a few of the things they were doing. My kids were just staring cause they had never heard someone speak like that. My husband nicely askes them to watch their mouths which they did not do. After a few more rounds of talking (or I should say screaming everyone was looking) about people taking the male part in the backside (nice way of putting it) my husband stood up and walked over to the table slammed his hands down and told them to watch their mouths there was woman and children present. The kids jjumped out of there seats just about but we never heard another word from them. They were there for a school band field trip and had no adult supervision. This is the one time I didnt mind him getting mad

Did any of their stories start...this one time at band camp...

Couple years ago we were waiting for the bus to the TTC from HS. The line was pretty long as in not everyone was going to get on the first bus when some guy walks his family up to the front of the queue like he's more important than all the others in line!! My DH points out the long line and where the end is to nothing but incredibly stupid and snarky comments. Something about government checks, and stuff that made no sense. He got on the bus in front of everyone else with his family and then stood up by the bus driver and everyone had to squeeze past his family to get to the back of the bus. I thought he was really setting a good example for his 3 kids. Jerk.

 

[Monkee Girl]

I only remember one incident and involved me and my sister on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. It was an unusually long line that day and so we had to stand through those weaving corridors (normally we go on off times when the the line is empty). While in line, we were behind a family who decided they were going to take pictures of their kids at every. single. turn. At first, we didn't mind: New to the World, wanting that special memory photographed. But then it started to get obnoxious to where they were holding up the line. These people thought they were in a professional photo shoot! "make a pirate face! do a pose, etc" People were starting to grumble behind us as they saw what was going on.

Now, my sister is the exact opposite of me: I would sit and wait silently where she speaks her mind and takes action. Finally, it got so bad that she just decided to start walking ahead and everyone followed her. This infuriated the woman and the lady came at my sister saying she was being rude to cut in line. My sis then pointed out that she was not cutting in line because the lady kept walking out of the line to take pictures. If the lady was going to waste everyone's time, then she should step off to the side, get the pictures and then go back inline wherever she is and let the others go ahead. OMG, I thought a fist fight was going to break out right then and there.

Eventually, my sis 'allowed' the woman back in line and we continued on without any problems. She even stopped taking pictures. I spent the rest of the time in avoiding my sister because I was so embarrassed. I felt she was in the right (as did everyone behind us) I just don't see the need to get so 'vocal.' lol

That is precisely what I do. I could not live with myself if I chose to sit quietly and let some of these (people) get away with this garbage.

Sometimes I do wish I had that confidence. But I am just so....goodie two shoes...the last thing I want to do is elevate a problem. I try to say to myself 'just wait, what difference does it make if I move a few extra steps?" I honestly just can not be bothered with these people and their bully tactics. I rather just let it go than get into an argument about what basically boils down to a few extra minutes in line.

I did personally cheer on my sister for doing her thing though. It was rather gratifying, lol

I guess that the way I look at it is that the more we allow this type of behavior to persist in society the more that it gets out of hand. I see this every day more and more at work. I stop someone for a standard violation and I inevitably get a "Why are you stopping me?!?" or "Aren't there bigger criminals out there?" at least once every couple of days. Of course I have to keep it professional in those situations, but we need to take a stand against this type of behavior in our everyday lives. It started in the 80's and has gotten worse and worse over time. I will always say something to someone who does something like cutting line, or decides to hold everyone up so they can do as they please in a line.

I once got grabbed and pushed into a wall by a guy who was literally pushing, shoving and slamming his way through the line. He wasn't even bothering with "Excuse me" or "Pardon me." He was just literally pushing everyone on his way through the line.

But it wasn't me, personally, he had an issue with. It was the world that ed him off, I think. The guy had problems.

 

[Fable McCloud]

After reading all the other horror stories, I'm really glad I wasn't the only one who dealt with horribly rude people. I ended up giving the CM a good review that day. I just hope it doesn't happen again next time...

Well, my husband is on a scooter so we got to go on the bus with him. We had 2 strollers with the little ones. Usually my son piled them on the scooter and would stand to hold them. We always held one or 2 of the children on our laps to leave seats for other people. People do need to be considerate of other people and remember there manners. It goes a long way. Our last morning I thought the park as open since we were let all the way on the bridge going to Sleepy Hallow. A lady informed me the park wasn't open yet. I said I am sorry and moved back. I am sure she thought I was being pushy when I was just didn't realize what was going on.

I think it's rude when another guest tells you how rude you are.

I had a situation like this at Everything Pop..I had to rinse my mug out at the counter sink and a woman was there where she just finished rinsing out all 5 mugs and was standing there air drying them..Yes Air drying her flippin mugs. So as she is standing I leaned over politely said "Excuse me" and rinsed my mug..She flat out says to me "My word you are very rude"...Seriously What...The...Frack? I excused myself and cleaned my mug and cleaned it with a napkin and this woman just had a "moment" sure it wasn't a Disney moment but some kind of moment..

Years ago my wifes Uncle and Aunt and their friends met us at AK for the afternoon. The friends husband was retired military. Some kids tried to cut in line at the Safari and he simply stood in front of them and told them to go back to the end of the line. This guy was about 50 or 60 years old but was DEAD serious and had that "Im not taking any sh*t" look on his face. It worked great so I adopted the technique from him and have successfully employed it several times with no problems. Stern body language and less talk works every time. Its almost instinct for people to back down when you have an aggressive posture and they know they are wrong.
