Here are a couple both involving the bathroom;

As I was washing my hand and getting ready to leave the restroom in Epcot near Germany, a woman rushed in looked at me and said “One of us is in the wrong restroom!” I just pointed at the urinals. She said “Oh my god!” Then she rushed out.

Usually when I have used the urinal, i wash both hands bacause I always felt it easeier. But you cut right to the chase and just wash the one. Very efficient. I like that.

That she does, that she does :)

Also: this was today at EPCOT in World Showcase, was passing by Norway, and nearly got run down by Anna and Elsa from Frozen, had I had my caemra out and gotten a picture as the two were going to see World Showcase Lagoon, I know I'd have been trampled by my neice with requests for pictures of the two.

In the spring of 2011, I was in the China part of Epcot's WorldShowcase. While the rest of my family went into the shops, I stayed outside and noticed a child that seemed lost. I observed the child for a few minutes. Being an educator, I can sense when a child is scared. I calmly asked the child if they were ok. The child told me the dad told them to wait for him but didn't say where. I proceeded to try to locate the dad based on the description given to me by the child. Shortly after looking, I notified the shop manager that a child was lost and couldn't find the parent. Come to find out, the dad was inside a building then went outside to take a phone call. I asked the child if that was their dad and they said yes. I walked the child back to the dad who didn't even acknowledge the child was upset and missing. I was so upset but calmly walked away and notified the shop manager that the child was back with the dad.

I usually never have anything to offer on these threads, but your story reminded me of something I saw while staying at AKL.

A friend of mine brought his autistic son to Disney, and we were all in the pool. Jack had finally realized that he would love the slide, so we spent a lot of time in the pool that trip. Because of that we got to do a lot of people watching. One day, a single man (no sign of a significant other the entire trip) came to the pool with a small boy (about 4 or 5 I would say). The boy had just been adopted out of China. At one point, the man's parents were present and spent some time getting to know their new grandchild. The 'father', not so much. The boy was playing in the pool, the father barely watching him. The boy would splash around while the father sat on his lounge chair and talked on his cell phone. More than once we had to direct the little guy back towards the father. This went on for a few days. The boy would play, the man seemed disinterested. At one point, the guy got into a fight with his parents and we never saw them again. The last day we were there the boy must have been overtired because he was a bit whiny/crying (can you imagine coming to a new country with a person you barely know and end up in Disney and how overwhelming it must be) and the father absolutely lost it with the boy. Didn't hit him - I would have called the police if I saw that - but yelling, screaming and saying, 'we can leave right now if you don't stop'.

I felt bad for that little guy and hope that his life got better from there.

Your story reminded me of another that happened to my brother several years ago. He and his family were staying at CBR and were walking back to their room past one of the "quiet pools when he saw a little toddler fall into the pool. The parents were sitting right there and did not seem to notice. My brother jumped into the pool, fully dressed and pulled the little guy out of the pool and brought him to his parents. They just looked at my brother and didn't say a thing - no thank you, no OMG, nothing!!!

Maybe the kid knew how to swim?

Sitting out on the beach at the poly with my DH and DS enjoying the breeze and just hanging out. A family of 4 got out of the pool, husband, wife, teenage son and teenage daughter. They all begin to dry off, not unusual, until they all stripped off their suits and got back into their street clothes right there on the beach. They were speaking a foreign language to each other so we did assume they were not accustom to the American using a restroom or locker room to change their clothing. Just a bit shocked at the time.

Secondhand, but my wife came out of the ladies' room closest to Expedition Everest shocked and appalled, claiming that there was a stall where someone decided to purposely "miss" the toilet and use their not-liquid waste to smear the word "YETI" on the wall. I suggested maybe it was a brownie, or something other than what it looked like. My wife - not prone to make up or even embellishing stories - assured me it was exactly what it looked like.

It's a topic brought up often in our house, because we only have daughters. My eldest is now 5 and throughout her life, if I ever had to take her to a public restroom, if it's just the two of us out and her mom's nowhere in sight, I prefer bringing her in to the ladies' room. I knock first, make sure it's unoccupied. If anyone enters while we're in there, I announce my presence: "Sorry, I'm in here with my little girl." My wife hates it, she's sure someone will kick up a fuss and I'll get arrested and she'd rather I just take my daughter into the men's room. But I hate that because, aside from the potential awkwardness of a small girl in a bathroom with dudes whipping it out, I jut know that guys are disgusting. One of the great ironies in life is that guys are so into sports where aim and accuracy is all-important, then they use a public restroom and it's like they don't care what gets in the urinal or bowl and what doesn't. If my daughter uses a men's room, I'm holding her up so her pants don't get wet from residue on the floor, to say nothing of what's left on the seat. So I tell my wife "men's rooms are usually disgusting." Then she looks at me and utters one word: "YETI!"

Yeah - my DH has some 'aim' issues - denies it of course. i have wondered if it would help if I installed a mini basketball hoop inside the toilet seat rim???

This is another bathroom story only without the bathroom.

A few years ago just outside Epcot's main entrance there was a group of 7 or 8 very nice looking, nicely dressed young Haitian women. They were taking turns shielding each other behind a bench so several of them could take a leak.

So many cultural differences.

And this one time....at band camp......

Not for nothing though, we (meaning the boards) do see some of the weirdest things when we are there. I suppose it is because of the different cultures blending at once (as @fillerup has stated).

You may be surprised but I use to have to clean bathrooms at my first job (small family fun amusement park) about 10 yrs ago and the ladies bathroom was always worse. With men, yes aim is an issues but that's a simple mop job but with the ladies, you dont even wanna know but it also involved a mop but not on the floor, gloves were always a must in the ladies room too lol. Guys are bad but women aren't any better lol.

Nothing as outrageous as some of these, but walking through Epcot from Future World to World Showcase, I saw one of those big white birds eat a frog. When he closed his beak all you could see was the frog's legs sticking out on either side. Swallowed that baby whole.
I was kinda cheering him on - my DD18 was appalled.
