Your Best Overheard Conversation

[Stupido]

My best overheard happened to be during my CP days. I used to work at Pecos Bills. One day, I was on Topping Bar. I was standing by the ketchup dispensers. As I'm sure the majority of you guys know, the dispensers at Disney aren't the best. In theory you're supposed to push and hold, and the condiment will dispense. However, from countless guests just tapping and expecting a volcano, the tubes get backed up. So here comes a young boy, maybe eleven or twelve. He pushes down the dispenser, and holds. Nothing happens. Then two seconds later, Ketchup comes shooting out, and squirts all over his tray. His immediate response was "Loose Balls!" I thought I was going to fall down. I had to run off stage and compose myself. This was about four years ago. Still to this day, whenever something goes wrong, my CP friends and I exclaim "Loose Balls!"

I remember seeing a large, very exhausted looking family standing in HS by the entrance to Pixar place. Kids were crying and the father was so angry he was red in the face.
He shouted, "There is no schedule! We're not following any schedule! This is a vacation and we are going to have fun!"
For some reason, it didn't help.

This conversation was overheard on our last trip. Dinner time, about 6ish at Chefs de France. The table next to us consisted of an older woman (mid 40s?), another woman I could only assume was her mother, and a rather...effeminate male.
Anyway, through their entire meal, at least the portion we heard as they were seated before us, was this woman out her "friend" because of her choice of resort. (I think they were staying at a moderate while Madame Fussi-Briches was staying at the Contemporary.) Now, this table had the same little server we did and she was attentive, polite, and just wonderful all around. But this lady, she was determined to find every little thing wrong.
"My wine is not chilled enough."
"This steak is too tender."
And the piece-de-resistance, "I need to see the manager again." (The "again" was killing the DBF and I so we were kicking each other trying not to laugh.)
When said manager arrives, and he did not look overly thrilled to be back at this table, this woman demanded that Remy be presented to her right then. (At this point he was still going around to table for a little show during lunch times.) The manager went on to explain that Remy only appeared for lunch and this woman lost it. Something to the effect of "I pay all this money to spend time here and you can't do this one thing, blah, blah blah." The manager comped their entire meal just to shut this woman up. He also promised that Remy would be thee the following day for lunch and they should come back. This woman demanded, after her free meal, that he personally make a reservation for her at a specific time. Don't know if that panned out but we could not believe this lady!

or let's go to Disney, and they mean Magic Kingdom...

I usually hear this at least once during a trip. Last time was while in line for TSMM, a group of ladies in front of us were discussing their upcoming week: "We'll spend tomorrow at Epcot, Thursday at Animal Kingdom, and back to Disney World on Friday." My inner Disney snob wants so desperately to correct them, but it just feels petty.

Once when we were taking the monorail back from MK to parking, as the monorail went through CR, the Avengers-wrapped monorail passed us slowly going the other direction. A boy asked his mother if they can ride that one back to the Hulk roller coaster. Great marketing idea, TDO.

While watching the manatees at The Seas Pavilion, a little girl asks her dad if they were sharks. Dad replied " no baby, they're walrus "!

What a doofus. Everyone knows walruses are freshwater fish.

A true Disney snob would know that when WDW first opened up and for 10 years thereafter, the only park was MK. It was commonly known then as Disney World. There was nothing else. If I remember correctly, even Disney promoted it as Disney World. (Why fight the crowds) Anyway, those that continue to call it Disney World (not all, but a lot) are probably bigger Disney snobs then you are.
