I can't stand Disney nuts who will pushed kids out the way to get a good seat for a parade.

Brazilian tour groups

More then one scooter on a bus

People who don't speak English and don't understand rules on rides I was on the GMR and some people took 25 flash pictures and where caught each time it took like an hour to go through the ride.

1. When large groups get into a line, half before you, then half behind. And the group thinks they can assemble together AHEAD of you! When proper etiquette is CLEARLY to assemble into the group behind.
2. When your wife and kids sit down at the only available table in the Starlight Cafe, so you get into line by yourself, and your order requires TWO trays!
3. When you try taking a picture of yourself on the screen at the photo station at the rides exit, only to find that you missed YOUR photo, and have a pic of some complete strangers.
4. When you've stood in line for an hour for SOARIN', you're watching David Puddy explain how to board the ride...and THEN your 5 year-old says he "needs to go potty...NOW!"
5. When your 7 year-old and 5 year-old are experiencing the "magic" by looking at something interesting, when someone comes along riding one of those scooters (who doesn't really require one), he stops...stares...and HONKS THE HORN for the kids to move...then rides away angry (This is a true story...I kid you not)

What really "grinds YOUR gears"?

When you walk past someone at WDW who claims to know everything about the parks. So silly. Don't they know that only I know everything? (ha)

I hate it when I am wearing a tank top and the person behind me in the line is standing so closely to me, I can feel their breath on my shoulder.

Here's a kicker. Last month, we were in the FP line at BTMRR (when you are on the ramp, boarding the ride shortly) and these two women decide they've had enough waiting in the Stand By line and slip under the rail separating the two lines. In the process, they split my son from us. My son said, "Excuse me" and tried to get around them and they started yelling at him! I just gave them a nasty look and them they were pretty ballsy. But I really had to go to a zen place not to do more...

The only thing that gets to me is when people with strollers act like they are driving a tank and don't stop or slow down at all for anything. Also when there are 8 year olds being pushed in strollers, give me a break, an 8 year old can walk. (I know there are some special cases with older kids in strollers, but a lot of people just do it for themselves too, I know I'm related to some of them).

When Darth Vader loses a Light Saber battle to some little kid who just enrolled in the class a few minutes ago! I mean, who are they trying to kid? He's DARTH VADER for crying out loud! And what kind of parents allow their kids to get up there and fight this guy in the first place? Why don't they just throw their kids into the Lion prarie on the Safari at AK while they're at it? Jeez! Some parents.

OMG I know what you mean! You'd think they learn after they saw what he did to those kids in Revenge of the Sith....and those weren't first timers! Bad Parenting if you ask me. :p

You know what grinds my gears? People who go to Disney and don't know anything about the characters! I mean...don't get me wrong, I understand a grown man isn't going to know the differences between "Second Star To The Right" and "When You Wish Upon A Star" but really...REALLY? Seriously dude...just sayin...

A few years ago, Foulfellow and Gideon were outside Tony's on MainStreet and I think me and my sister were the ONLY ones who knew who they were. It was sad. People were in line only because it was a character meet and greet. They were actually in line and asking the cast member who they were meeting.

I mean...maybe it's just me getting old. But, it's just hard to fathom a world where these kids aren't watching these movies. I don't think my cousin has ever seen "Sleeping Beauty" Or "Pinocchio" in its entirety. It's sad. Then I have to sit and argue with people about stuff.

A random conversation with my 10year old cousin:

Me: Sleeping Beauty's dress should be blue :mad: .
Cousin: No it's not, it's always been pink.
Me: No it hasn't, I have a doll where her dress is blue and it's always blue in the movie. In the movie, it's pink for 2 seconds.
Cousin: Well, I've never seen the movie.
Me: Then you can't say anything. Watch it, you might learn something...:cool:
Cousin: well....her name is Aurora, why do you call her Sleeping Beauty?
Me: because that's what we called her when I was your age. She didn't become "Aurora" until Disney turned the princesses into a marketing gimmick.

Her mother will then interrupt us, remind me that I am arguing with a 10 year old, we then to proceed to the next ride. Kids these days, lol

Course not. Why give others that satisfaction?

Pet peeves:
That one group that blocks the entire Fastpass line because their are good in five minutes and now they are arguing with the cast members to let them in.
Brazilians.
Cheerleaders.
Brazilian cheerleaders.
That screaming kid in line for Dumbo (oh wait, that was me fifteen years ago)

There's nothing wrong with Brazilian cheerleaders......especially if they're mute.
