You quite clearly do or you wouldn't have made reference to it. :dazzle:
As for being funny, does that mean I'm not? Oh thats a tad upsetting, it undermines my whole being.
Perhaps you'd be more comfortable if I applied the same gravity to my posts as to the meanderings and deadly serious debate about paint colour and axle compounds routinely indulged in by your good self.
But I find it odd that you say I have drifted the thread when quite clearly I have posted in accordance with the OPs directive. But perhaps I didnt exhibit the prejudices youd been hoping for.

It is rather odd I must say that comments about a theme park and corporate loyalty is taken so seriously.
There is an ignore function, I have always been quite clear that I post for my own amusement, if that offends or assaults your sensibilities please just use this feature. I believe that's why its there.
Otherwise I live and post by the grace of the moderators chop-ometer, but always with rod in hand and tongue firmly in cheek.
Ohhh err Mrs.

Hey, don't get me wrong - I'm all for self-expression and the best part about this board is that it doesn't take itself as seriously as others. I'm far from being "deadly serious". I've just yet to read one of your posts where you're not seemingly desperate to grab the limelight of the entire thread. If that's your goal, more power to you. I'm just pointing it out.
As for the ignore feature, I find it kind of a childish notion. I don't know anyone on this board in real life, thus have no dislike for anyone. Some of the things you say actually amuse me. But sometimes, you just seem like you're trying to impress people.

I don't particularly care about most of this. If a group needs to get accross a path then let them. You'd be doing the same thing if you came in a group. If a child runs into you, say hello with a creepy smile and maybe he'll stop. If people are taking flash pictures in a dark ride, ignore it. If you have fastpass hoggers, GET A FASTPASS or wait in line.

1. people who don't keep the lines moving! and i love how in certain ride queues, such as ToT, the castmembers yell "move as close to the doors as you can! there are no lines here, and if someone in front of you is stopped in a nonexistent line, you may move in front of them!" that's not word for word, but close. i LOVE that! because there are still idiots not paying attention and look all shocked and confused when people move in front of them. ha ha!!
2. the GIANT BACKPACKS people wear that stick out five feet behind them
3. people who walk right through the smokers' section and loudly cough and exaggerate not being able to breathe (and no, i don't smoke)
4. "thing 1" and "thing 2" t-shirts (they're not even disney, but i see them worn at disney world more than anywhere else for some reason)
5. people who let their kids pull on and play with the divider rope that holds back the crowd at parades, the rope hitting and snapping back into everyone standing in the front row.
6. people who look miserable because their kids are miserable because they try to do too much without breaks.

OMG This was happening to my BF and I while waiting for a parade last year, the rope was constantly slapping us and others, the father was aware it was happening but did nothing :hammer:
The only comments on these lists I disagree with are the several complaining about kids on their parents shoulders. I feel the parks are more about the kids than the adults and deserve the best seats in the house, wether that be up front for a parade or up high for the fireworks. Other than that the comments have been hilarious.

I was one of those people. The issue I have isn't so much for me, it's for my kids. At night, they're in a stroller or even standing up, they can't see the parade or fireworks. If you want to pick your kids up so they can see, fine. But putting them on your shoulders is kind of rude to the kids behind you.
You are obviously not a child between the ages of 3 and 8 years old. Some of them think they are getting the signature of the actual character. To them this is special.
I can understand that also. There should be a way to make room for the kids. People who have kids on their shoulders should understand they do not need to be up front.

Walking in to a restaurant and finding a lot of empty tables covered with someone elses mess because there are a lot of people that will not clean up after themselves. Just gather up your own trash and throw it away.
People that can't hit the garbage can. Really.
Stollers running in to my heels.
People that smoke while walking around.
While I understand not knowing all the rules. I was that person once
Don't take it out on the CM for having to follow them.
Oh... I like the one about gigantic backpacks that swing around in hit me.
Don't stand there staring at my family eating inside at Caseys during a rainstorm like I we should give you our table because you have an infant in your arms. (Can't you picture it in your heads)
Waiting in line for 10 minutes at Pecos Bills and the person/family right in front of me hasn't taken the time to decide?? And one at a time mom makes the kids order for themselves as they decide on the spot. You had 10 minutes??
Parents that let tweens run wild. They obviously know these kids. Why would they do that to the rest of us?
Waterpark ettiquite. Do not drag chairs over and set them up in the walk ways. Do not use more chairs that you have people. Thongs do not look good on most people.

1.) People just lighting a cigarette where ever they please.
2.) Extremely large groups that no matter which way you maneuver to try to avoid them, they make sure they end up walking right into you while singing, screaming, or cheering as loudly as possible onward.
3.) People who ask you if this is where the line starts and it is, instead of getting behind you, they get beside you and try to squeeze in front of you.
4.) People who mistake you for someone else in which that someone else has apparently knocked their child down.
5.) Small Spaces tend to have the most people in them. You could have a one mile aisle with, for example, Mickey Mouse stuff in it and no one will hardly be there. However, if you have a five inch aisle of the same, it seems everyone is pushing and shoving their way through it.
6.) People :zipit: yelling randomly when a ride suddenly stops. Heck, it doesn't have to be stopped; on the Haunted Mansion the screaming was so bad that I couldn't hear my own host in my Doom-Buggy. I'm not talking about young children yelling either.
7.) People who sling their kids around. It might be fun for the kids, but please watch to make sure how close someone is to you in line before you start swinging your children for amusement. Sometimes the lines have to be packed in tight and I don't like getting ninja kicked.
8.) Strangers who can clearly see you are not wearing a watch, but yet persist to ask you the time. I don't understand that one, even after I make it clear I'm not wearing a watch?
9.) People who instead of drinking the water, splash it on their face in line with disregard to the person behind them. Great, thanks to the angle of the splash, it looks like my chest is leaking from two spots.
10.) People who don't understand the term "reservation" and insist since they can't "see a line" the place must "serve them now."

Tough to ignore when they ruin your vision for the ride.
I find a strobe right in the eye of the offensive photographer gets the message across.

1. I hate it when the little kids in line that are behind you are always ending up somehow sneaking in front of you.
2. When your just waiting on line and a kid bumps into you while messing around and it keeps happening while the parent stands their and does nothing to calm the child.
3. When you have a great spot for the parade and/or firework show and people are gathering all around you trying to get as close as possible to get up front, and they get so close you cant move an inch.
2. When people ask you whats being built over that big wall by Dumbo. :dazzle:
1. People yelling at CM's just because their doing their job right and the people think their not and they know how to do it better.

Fortunately my life is of more value than that of needing to seek the approval of some faceless internet no marks. But it is interesting that its your immediate mindset.

I disagree to a point, WDW is for everyone, not just kids, I have just as much passion for WDW as a 6 yr old and I work harder to get there! Why can't parents hold their children on their hips so the childs head is level with others? Children on shoulders in crowds is a bit extreme ehen there are people behind. I'm not knocking children but surely I'm entitled to see the parades as well! :veryconfu

My wife did that...having read this board for a few years before we went I wanted to just say, "Look, it's not that hard!!" Hahahahaha -- but not wanting to sleep on the little fold-out bed thing I held my tongue.
Anyway, as all the good ones have been taken I'll just drop my #1: stopping in the middle of a crowded path to have a conversation or gawk at something. Active runway, folks.

Exactly. Hold your kid against your hip if they don't want to stand. They are your height at that point and can see as much as much as you can. I don't see any reason why a kid has to be nine feet in the air to be able to see. Sorry, clearly one of my biggest pet peeves. Ha!
