I haven't been on that long but I will add a few:
1. People who complain about everything. "Did you notice that prior to May 2009, Mickey used to spend 19.8 seconds with each child, and now it's only 19.5?" "I went to Cosmic Ray's and one of my french fries was cold. Disney is going downhill"
2. On the flip side, people who can't handle any legitimate complaint about Disney. "So what if there are currently 26 AAs down right now and there's no audio in RNRR? Disney is still 1000x better than getting a root canal!"
3. The "inside source" sniping. "My inside source tells me that Dole Whips are now going to be offered in blueberry" "Yeah, right, you're dead wrong. I'm not going to name names, but my 3rd cousin twice removed's name rhymes with Peg Rofton and she says it's Pomegranate" "Listen guys, I totally believe the first one, he has 'imagineer' in his name, YUM blueberry!" "How dare you question my sources?" Just read around a bit, you can tell who is likely to know what they're talking about, but take that even with a heavy dose of skepticism because things can always change.
4. Use of the word "retarded" as an insult. Same with "gay".
5. No, you can't reuse your refillable mug forever. Did you really think you were going to pass this thing you paid $13.99 for on to your grandchildren so they could have coke forever? Come on. Do you bring your paper cup back to burger king every time you go?
6. The sniping about the FP return times. Use your FPs however you want. It's up to Disney to set and enforce their own policies. When they change the policy, people may have to change their behavior. It's not a big deal.
7. Snobbery about resorts. Sorry, not everyone can afford to stay at a Deluxe. Some would actually rather not spend money on a room they're only going to collapse in after a long day of touring.
8. General bashing of Disney. "Disney doesn't care about guests" "Disney's prices are too high" "Disney is all about money". Yeah, it's a company, it exists to make profit.
9. Derogatory use of the word "Fanboy".
10. People who like to act superior to other posters, like they just get on a post to show like "How could you have done such a thing? Didn't you know that blah blah blah?"

You'll see quite a bit of that on here unfortunately. :hammer:
This too. I think most intelligent people can tell the difference between legitimate and downright nit picking.
Absolutely. I've said before that if I had a $1 for every time someone saidthey have a friend high inside Disney's ranks, I could go to WDW tomorrow.

Those people are just showing their ignorance.
Of course they do. One of my good friends at work goes to Disney all the time and she does this and knows she shouldn't. She actually laughs about it when I say something. It's pretty arrogant.
I can afford to stay at a deluxe. I choose not too. We are only at the resorts for sleeping and occasional swimming. That's not enough to justify the deluxe resort for us. We actually got the "stink eye" from several people at the Boardwalk last trip because they knew we were there visiting. And what's up with the GF forcing people to park across the road and next to the maintenance areas when they visit the resort? Keeping the riff-raff away? LOL
Prices are high at almost any "fun" spot. Movie theaters, zoos, other amusement parks, professional ballgames, etc... Disney's prices are high so people need to deal with it or don't go. It makes more room for those of us that can deal with it.
This might be my biggest pet peeve here. It is usually used by some people (maybe born in 1974...
) to describe anyone that has anything positive to say about Disney. See my answer to number 9 above. Same thing applies. "I know more than you. Your ideas are stupid. You are a moron." I can't stand these people. You know that they do the same thing near any friends that they may have. And those friends are probably rolling their eyes every time and wondering when they'll shut up.
