My big peeve is people who think they can smoke anywhere they want in the parks. I am a smoker & I seek out the smoking allowed sections, because I think it's rude if you don't. I have no problem telling the offenders to "snuff it out" when I see them and make sure everyone around knows what the jerk(or jerkette) where up to.

How about this idiot. From our 2007 trip. After I took the photo he flipped me off. I told him that I was proud that he could count to one and then asked him if he could read while pointing at the sign. Moron.

I remind myself each morning not to use the 23 years of military training and Combat experience on idiots in the parks..I channel my inner nirvana and tell myself its not worth the aggravation..I may make comments here and there..generally Smartass in nature and often targeted to the biggest man or woman in the offending party.

In theory this sounds great, but from experience I can tell you that this is not the case. I have reported group line jumping before (many times) and have gotten nowhere.
Might depend on the CM, but it worked for us. The family was asked to go to the end of the line, since their whole party wasn't already in line together. They were miffed but went, and then they left the line totally.

I feel no need to hold back anymore on people. They act like a putz, they get treated as such. People pushing past you? And extended leg trips them up. People stop in the middle of the aisle? Fall over them. People pushing you out of the way to get through? Step on feet, lose your balance and fall into them and take the with you. People behaving badly, be loud about telling them about it. Embarass them, loudly and repeatedly. It works. Ever see a stare down between a man wearing a disney t-shirt and a soccer family with a double wide stroller? If so that was me. I also do not make room on monorails or anywhere else for people with gigantic strollers. They can stow it or fold it. Sweet Jesus they bring everything but the kitchen sink with them.

And when I hear "I have my rights" I remind them that yes they have the right to act like an (expletive not used)idiot, and are exercising that right, but so do I and I will as well.

I used to be a very reserved person. Some issues came my way, and that reserved person went away. But I still maintain my calm, I just get back at them while smiling.:cool:

Let me add, the parents that are dragging a clearly exhausted, upset, screaming, etc child through the parks and on to rides/shows instead of taking a break ! It is not fair to the child or anyone else in the area.

Sorry. You're making a judgment here without any facts. Maybe it's exactly as you stated, or there might be another reason why the child is throwing a tantrum. You just don't know.

Nothing es me off than some other adult thinking they know better than a child's own parents. Like I said, you might be spot on....and if you are, I would agree with you in principal. But unless you know for sure, you're just jumping to conclusions...and depending on how far you take it, you can either come to the wrong conclusion, or worse....stick your beak where it doesn't belong.

Spanish and Portuguese are very, very similar. Say it in Spanish and they will understand.
But if you say it in Spanish then they can pretend they don't know what your talking about.
I go to the MNSSHP solo and love the parade. I get there early and park my butt on the curb to wait for the parade. Every single time people come at me from all sides and start trying to push me over so they have more room. The worst is when someone keeps hitting me from behind with their nasty stroller wheels. I agree with the deodorant. Nasty!!!
 
When I'm waiting in line for Toy Story Mania and there's a bunch of kids climbing on top of the big toys, while their parents are watching them and not saying GET OFF.

I agree, I HATE people that walk up through the line because someone was saving a spot...although...I will admit to getting quite a few fastpasses for the group while they do something else (That doesn't interest me as much) So yes...I've been that person...although I try to pick the least busy machine...and let people go in front of me...just generally try to be as nice/unobtrusive to others as I possibly can be.

We once saw a woman light up in the Haunted Mansion queue. Everyone was being covered with smoke as we were under the canopy and just about to go into the graveyard. This particular woman had also just scooted around everyone (which I guess she was in her rights to as sthe CM kept telling everyone to 'move up! Go around those who aren't moving!). and missed out half the queue.
Anyway someone told a CM and he was straight over to tell her to put it out. She said someone else had also lit up which is why she did, and took her sweet time putting it out. The CM also told the other person to put his out too. Some people just don't care about what they are doing!

Grrrrrr. That's the one that gets to me. I'm terribly sensitive to cigarette smoke. I can smell the stuff form a mile away and it gives me a wicked headache. I'm not at all shy about making a stink about the stink. I'll cough loudly and wave the smoke away from me until I can get to a CM and ask that the offender be reprimanded. My daughter is worse. (She has an ASD so social skills are not her forte) She will very loudly point out that smoking causes cancer and the "smelly smoker" is trying to give us cancer. She also gets in a huff about them not following the rules. She's nothing if not a rule follower.

Well when I observe a toddler trying to lay on the floor to sleep in Mouse Gear and is crying because a parent made them get up and it is after 8 pm I am inclined to think that child is wore out and in need of rest. l don't interfere I just observe and feel sorry for the child.

One time at AK, I was getting ready to take a photo a Tiger that was right in front of me behind the glass, Some mom pushed her precious little kid right in front of me as I was taking the photo. I turned and gave her what must have been a pretty angry glare ...she said to me "thats is not very disney like". I said to her having common respect sure is.

Again, you're jumping to conclusions...and I think you would enjoy your vacation more if you concerned yourself with your own children and not someone else's. I have a 7 year old that, younger, would try every temper tantrum/tactic known to man to avoid getting on an attraction that she hadn't yet tried. It was about avoiding the new experience, nothing else. It was a phase she went through that we had a terrible time working through. We've had to bring her kicking and screaming on something like small world, only to find that within minutes of being on the ride she was having the time of her life -- and subsequently dragged us on the ride multiple times there-after.

Nothing ed me off more than listening to a busybody adult cluck or butt in with un-needed parental advice while my daughter was going through one of these 'tantrums'.....Sounds to me your erroneous 'observations' and your feigned 'sorrow' would have put you in similar company with these know-it-alls. But you would have been dead wrong.

Mind your own business!

Generally a no smoking sign on a restroom door means no smoking inside the restroom.

Or was he coming OUT of that restroom?

You know nothing of my feelings or emotions. So who is jumping to conclusions?
