Worst people to be in line next to?

those in need of a shower/deodorant, those who think the world revolves only around them...and for quick service dining locations those who stand in the line the whole time and only when the arrive at the CM do they look at the menu to decide what they want.


side note: we once saw a grandma on a scooter lose control on the sidewalks of Main St., she sort of side swiped a trash can and jumped the curb and took out about three guests in the process....it was by far the ugliest thing we have ever seen in WDW. If I see a scooter I just give a very wide berth when possible.

Quick side note: are people who are driving ECVs in the park allowed to drink at, say, WS? I have always wondered that. Isn't it drinking and driving? Should I make a citizen's arrest?

OH, man. I never thought of that. It is interesting enough to be in line with someone who has had too much of the hard stuff, I can imagine what someone driving a scooter could be like. Clear the decks! How about a sobriety test?

Seriously, I drive a scooter, but I don't drink other than an occassional glass of wine with my meal. If someone driving a scooter is obviously under the influence, a CM should be notified immediatly. That person could present a real danger to themselves as well as others. Besides, we don't need tipsy irresponsible drivers adding to our already mostly undeserved reputation.

PREACH ON, MY BROTHA!!!

I HATE this. Sometimes I will let it slide, and other times I have "pulled a Gandalf", much to the dismay/embarrassment of my wife. I found a re-enactment for everyone's viewing pleasure; the only difference is, instead of a staff and sword, I use a Dole Whip and Mickey Bar ;)

On a more serious note, I hope that Disney decides to implement the Frozen M&G line policy of "No longer will WDW allow a single member of your party to wait in line while the rest of your party joins you and “cuts” in line with you at a later point. Any party doing this are asked to return to the back of the line and start all over again." for all lines throughout the park. If this happens I just might cry tears of joy.

BO, seriously this day and age and you have BO? Come on.

Big back packs, works both was:devilish: The can fall with all that weight pushed correctly.

Line jumpers, whoops sorry my leg was out and you tripped.

People who stop in the middle of a row when walking into a theater. Whoops sorry I fell on you but it is YOUR fault. Yeah my elbow connected to a guys junk one time.....whoops.

The electonicphiles. Nuff said.

People that do not keep up with the line, like in Space Mountain line playing with the video games.

I would agree on BO, but it gets so hot and humid in Florida sometimes that its understandable.

People stopping to play the Space Mountain games does not increase your wait time, it just means you wait a little longer to move up.

In front of me - someone with a huge backpack that can't stop twirling around.

In back of me - parents who can't keep their kids under control and let them run all over the queue and in front of me.

And my number one peeve is when there's super impatient adults behind me who think they will get to the front of the line faster if they bump into my back and step on my heels.

I'd rather have the person in front of me twirling with a large backpack than someone BEHIND me twirling with the same backpack! I can judge the space in front of me fairly well... not so much behind me.

Personnel space. Americans require more personal space than other places. Maybe it's part of the American Entitlement phenomenon.

2. The one who has to has to sit on the railing and swing their legs barely missing you.
3. The one who has to play with the queue divider ropes/ stanchions the whole way around the queue.

Number three doesn't bother me as long as they aren't physically altering the queue.

Parents who need to take their child out of the line to be changed!! I'd be glad to save their place in line for this reason.
I have a 2yo and would never do this.

You would never take your child out of line to change their diaper? That explains that dirty diaper I stepped on. Thanks.

If they are operating the ECV on a public road then YES they could be issued a DUI.

people who hold up the line every two seconds to take pictures, check their phones, video things with their I pads etc, but don't have the good grace to stand aside and let others get past. BO is also a biggie, especially in more confined areas.

Let me just say this... recently I attended the U.S. Open in Pinehurst, N.C. Upon my arrival my leg started to pain me very badly. I couldn't walk for any distance before it hurt so bad that I had to sit down. I finally broke down and got a scooter otherwise I would have thrown away the $135.00 ticket fee.

I have been a professional driver. I have driven 18 wheelers, straight jobs, 44 foot tour buses for years and never once had an accident. I'm hear to tell you that it is easy for those scooters to get away from you. I mistakenly turned sharply to turn around and came within a second of tipping it over. The controls are hard to get used to and for those that feel that if they step out in front of one, the driver can stop, I am going to have to inform you that they have no direct brakes. You have a control on the handle grip that you pull on to go forward and the only way you stop is to let go of it. Even if you are able to let go immediately the brakes take a second to go on. An accident like the one mentioned was probably a panic situation where the scooter got away from her and she didn't have the reaction time to figure out what to do. That is the one drawback to them. You need training and space to operate. I would bet that 99.9% of the people that get hit by them either stepped in front of them or stopped quickly in front of them. But, it is easier to turn around and curse at the operator then to give any blame to oneself for not paying any attention to where they were walking and what was near them.

Just saying!
