OK, I don't know if it was the heat or what, but I saw and, unfortunately, had a run-in with several people. First off, where does it say that just because you have a stroller, it gives you the right to run people over? We rented a double stroller the entire trip and tried to be very conscientous (bad spelling, I know) of the fact that we didn't want to run anyone over. If it mistakenly happened, we were quick to apologize. Not so for everyone, unfortunately. Then, as we were waiting at AK for the parade, which we had been waiting for for 45 mins, a women came up with her stroller and rammed me in the back (I was sitting on the ground, so my husband could see behind me and my kids were in the stroller and on the other side of the stroller). No apology, no nothing. Did not even acknowledge she hit me (and trust me, it was hard enough that she had to realize she hit SOMETHING!). As the parade started, she then came up behind me, got close enough that I could smell what she had for lunch that day and began leaning on me to see (I was standing now after getting rammed previously). My husband knows that I'm quick to react and he started backing away because he knew what was coming. I immediately turned around and told her she was being rude and that she needed to back up somewhat and not lean on me anymore. I didn't want to be confrontational, but come on! There was an entire space to watch the parade open to the right of us (it was raining, so it wasn't crowded at all). But, no, she chose to push into me and make a scene. Another couple behind us saw all of this happen and came over to us later and said they couldn't believe how ignorant and rude she was! There were other instances, as well, but I'm sure everyone has already experienced the people who cut in front of you in line because their family is "just right in front of you." Why can't their family wait for them then like I do when my family isn't completely ready to get on a ride? Am I being entirely too critical? We also had a mother and daughter forcibly move my DS6 out of the way at a parade so they could "just take a picture." Obviously they meant several pictures because they never moved the rest of the parade. Just unreal this trip how rude some people can truly be! Then again, you always meet the really nice, friendly people who tell you how cute the kids are and how much fun the World is, etc. It's just a shame that the rude ones leaving such a lasting impression!
