Cringe-worthy

[bkelly65us]

What are your cringe-worthy stories? We had a good one this past trip.

Ok. So my wife, myself, my three kids and my niece (all 9 - 12 years old) are all sitting and having a pleasant meal at San Angel Inn, Mexico Pavilion, Epcot. The next table over is what looks like several families eating together, four adults, what looks like Grandparents, and about a half-dozen kids all under 12.
The fathers are drunk. Not I've had a few, but DRUNK. The wives are not too far behind and the poor grandparents are trying to sort out the kids. There was a huge and loud fight about margarita's with the waiters and manager and the wives. It was lovely, let me tell you. I think at one point one of the father's actually fell asleep. And the language! Thank goodness we were at the dessert-stage of our meal and were able to get the heck out of there. Whew!

Watching a table of full grown adults and their teenage children just get up and leave all of their trash at a TS location in Hollywood Studios. We felt so bad that we helped the poor CM that had to clean it up. She returned with some Fastpasses, which was a nice surprise, but seriously? Do people think that the CM's ENJOY picking up excesses garbage?

At Animal Kingdom one day DH and I were waiting for the bus back to the Beach Club Villas. Along came a family, mum holding one childs hand, dad holding the other childs hand. Dad stopped at the 1st bus stop and mum kept on walking to the far end. Once she reached there dad yells, "We need to be at this stop." Mum yells back, "No we need this one stupid." Dad replies still shouting, mum replied back by yelling again. This carried on for about 5 minutes, the language getting worse. Then our bus pulls in, we get on, both parents come running towards our bus, they were both in the wrong place. But did the yelling and cussing stop then? No, we had to listen to it carry on for the 15 minutes back to the BCV! I felt sorry for the kids (about 4 or 5 year olds), I guess they weren't having a great trip.

Last week two French tourists tried to cut in line and were told no by another guest. They exchanged words but the frenchmen insisted on cutting anyway until the 6'5" guest nearly struck them. CMs had to sort it out quickly.

We were strolling through AK one morning..I happen to glance over at the tables for Pizzafari (which was not opened yet)....and there was a dad changing his babies diaper on top of one of the tables. :scared::scared::scared:

[MinniesYooHoo]

Ready for this one? We were strolling around MK on our last trip and we end up behind a young gril of about 18-19. She is pooh sized mind you and all we can see from behind is her non-existant see through white mini skirt with a hot pink thong hanging out at the top. It gets worse. You see, it was hanging out on purpose because she had her car keys/room key hooked to it.:scared1: All I could theink was "lets get out of her way, because if that thing breaks loose, we're all in for a horrible sight. Have you lost your appetite yet?:lmao:

I saw that happen in Epcot WC! It was right near the McDonald's outside of Canada, and it was on one of those tall, metal tables. The worst part was it was a #2 diaper--I know because I smelled it before I saw it. :crazy2:

My other favorite was the little boy in line next to us for Soarin'. We'd made it all the way up to just before you board when he wet himself. You could tell mom was angry, but grandma said "he told you he had to go before we got in line!" I felt bad for the little guy, and was on grandma's side until the CM told them he couldn't get on the ride (duh, his pants, shoes and socks were soaked). Then grandma got angry and said "you mean we waited all this time and now you won't let him ride?!?" Hello? Do you want to be the poor person who gets that boy's seat after he's finished riding? Sheesh.

We are at Place where thousands of People and Familys are gathered for extended period of time,from all over the world!. They come here and feel a certain comfort level,and or they let the heat(that they may not be comfortable to) get to them or what ever reason they act the way they do. Are we so crtical of others with out thinking that maybe others look at us the same way?. Not to say that theses circumstance are not unusuale and some times hard to watch,but maybe before we jump the gun assumue and or critsize we should stop to think that we do not know the whole story. No wrong or rights here sorry If It came out wrong:goodvibes just my thought:goodvibes.

[bkelly65us]

Yes, we are so critical. And why is that considered a bad thing? I don't care how "open-minded" and "understanding" I'm supposed to be. Sorry, but if you are at WDW with your family and manage to get yourself so drunk you can't stay awake and your spouse get's into a shouting match over another margarita then you are in the wrong, not me for objecting to your appalling and boorish behaviour. A little more discernment in life and we'd all be better off.

[KitKat96]

I might have the diaper story beat. While EATING dinner at the Cape May Cafe one evening, the family right next to us decided to put their child on the floor right next to our table and proceed to change his #2 diaper. We almost barfed from the smell. I couldn't believe the lack of class and consideration. Needless to say, our dinner was ruined.

[Anglefan]

Don't listen to people complaining about this topic. I want to hear more. It's interesting.

Yep, bad behavior is bad behavior, the reason for it doesn't matter.

There is never an excuse for changing a child's dirty diaper on a restaurant table! Yes, I am hugely critical of anyone who would do that or think that it is ok. Nor do I think it is ok to yell at a child when they mess themselves after telling the adult with them that they needed to use the restroom! Doing either of those things shows a serious lack of brains.

[Feralpeg]

The diaper changing thing is a big problem on WDW property. I witnessed a lady changing her baby's diaper on a table in the middle of the Earl of Sandwich. The restaurant was full of people. The manager came over to tell her that she could not do that in a restaurant. She just finished what she was doing, picked up her kid and left. Gross!

Right after T-Rex opened, DD and I were eating there. We watched a lady change a baby on the seat of a booth in the restaurant. That wasn't the worst part. The dad didn't want to get up to get rid of the dirty diaper so he tried to stuff it up under the booth. Fortunately, it was enclosed and he could make it fit. Eventually, he took it back to a restroom.

Lazy and disgusting behavior!

That is hilarious! She had her keys hooked to her underwear? On purpose?

Some people are just ridiculous!

These stories are funny and gross and disturbing! Keep them coming! lol

[princessmom29]

Yes, everyone has a bad day sometimes and loses it. We all saoy and do things we wish we hadn't. but in the case of the drunk adults they made a conscious descision to do that, and people who continue to carry own for an extended period of time after and incident choose not to let it go and to contimue to subject the rest of us to it. That is bad behavior that is worthy of comment.

[lovethecastle]

man, I am so grossed out by the people who change their babies on tables that the rest of us have to eat off of. Good thing I stocked up on anitbacterial wipes for our next trip.

We were the first ones at the turnstiles at MK and a French family was behind us. The LADY shoves my 5 y/o neice in order to be first through the TS!!! My sister could only think of one thing to say in French which she learned many years ago: "haricot vert". (green bean) We have laughed about that many times. The french family actually looked at us like we were crazy. I guess shoving kids is ok in France.

One year I was in the Louvre in Paris and I was about to take a picture of the Venus De Milo statue (literally camera up to my eye and hand on button.) At that moment a French man came up behind me, picked me up by my waist and moved me to the side so he could take a picture. I thought my male friend who was with me was going to punch him!! I mean, 5 seconds later and I would have moved, plus I had already been waiting in the line for 5 minutes whilst other people took their shots!!

I have nothing against French people, I love Disneyland Paris where I own shares and think French people on the whole are usually very nice, but this man was just rude!! Now as a teenager I went on several French exchanges with my school and unfortunately the only things I can remember from those was being taught various swear words!! I used one that day!!

[Mouseteacher]

We just returned from our trip. While walking into DHS, DH and I were behind a woman (and not a young woman but someone over 40) who was wearing a pair of white capris that showed the crack of her you-know-what. The worst was that as she kept walking her pants dropped further and further down baring (no pun intended) more of her behind. She seemed completely oblivious. DH said let's move ahead, I really don't want to see might happen next! :scared1:

NONE!!!!!

[Lintasare]

I can't remember if it was last year or the year before but I was waiting for the next showing of The American Adventure and was sitting in the rotunda. Another family had been sitting there since before I got there. They open the ropes so we could go through the Hall of Flags up to the second floor and into the theater. Then when we got to the doors of the theater the mom all of a sudden stops in the middle of everyone, right in front of the doors and starts changing her toddlers diaper, on the floor right as you enter the theater.

[MinniesYooHoo]

That is hilarious! She had her keys hooked to her underwear? On purpose?

Oh yeah!!! I guess she wanted easy access since she didn't have any pockets. I failed to mention in my first post that you could see the "crease of her buttucks" through her skirt. I just thought "I'm going in the opposite direction of her" because I didn't want to ride any rides after her naked bum was just there!!!!:scared1: Come on.This girl absolutely knew what she was doing. Nobody can be quite that ignorant!!!

[seadd67]

[QUOTE=bkelly65us;33084790]Yes, we are so critical. And why is that considered a bad thing? because If we stoop to there level where no better then them,and we are not Intoxicated so what Is our exceuse, are we not able to walk away with out feeling to voice our oppion? or objection. Now If there Is physical harm to people and or Children because of the situation then yes by all means step In. But I gurantee with the person or persons Intoxicated out of control It will lead to a physical confertation.

[MinniesYooHoo]

It's interesting what folks are saying on here about not judging people. I agree to an extent. But, no matter where you are, or how comfortable you feel in a public surrounding, you MUST condust yourself with a sence of decorum. I am constantly aware of my surroundings and the folks around me and behave in a manner in which I want my daughter to learn. Tip: Just be decent people!!!!!

[junebugs]

We were at Blizzard Beach last June and it looked like it was going to start to rain so we packed up and headed out. While waiting for a bus back to the resort it started to thunder - so they closed the park. As we continued to wait at the front of the line for a bus EVERYONE :scared1:from Blizzard Beach started showing up at the bus stops.

After 30 minutes still not many buses had come and there was a HUGH crowd starting to build and to top it off the thunder was turning to lightening. A bus finally stopped at our bus stop and this lady runs up to the bus driver screaming and yelling at the bus driver that our bus (ALL STARS) should take her (and her group) to THEIR resort instead!!! That they were waiting longer, etc. :confused3

I mean she went crazy yelling. The bus driver tried to tell her he couldn't do that - so then she went to stand in front of the bus, yelling that she wouldn't move! The other people in the line (this was hundreds of people) started shouting at her to get out of the way. Another bus driver came over to help load our bus. And we eventually drove away.

I'm not sure what happened to her - but that was the closest I have ever been to feeling like a riot was about to start. :scared1:

Actually the OP said that he and his family finished their meal and left, nothing was said about confronting the drunks at the next table or voicing their opinion, except voicing it on this thread. Finding bad bahavior objectionable doesn't mean confronting the jerks in fact as you said, confronting inebriated people can lead to problems, but being offended is in no way stooping to their level.

[BridgetBordeaux]

Not a gross out, but a cringe moment..............

I observed 2 little boys getting out of the lazy river with dad by their side. Apparently something had happened earlier while floating around and the dad yelled at one little boy and then literally backhanded the 65 lb kid on the side of his head. Dad was probably 220-240 lbs.

I was shocked and could only imagine how cruel the father might be while NOT in public.

That's definitely not just in Disney!! I'm a manager at a counter service cafe, and while we do send employees out to wipe tables off and sweep crumbs, we have a dish bin set up for you to return your dishes to as well as 3 garbage cans all around the cafe. Sometimes when I look at the messes people leave behind and I am just amazed! I really appreciate that my Mother didn't raise me to be that way!

Wow wow wow. I am definitely cringing now. Is there enough therapy in the world? Honestly?

[bleeps]

Am I dreaming, or isn't there language somewhere on the Disney ticketing fine print that says something about not permitting excessively foul language and that clothing must be 'suitable'? I really thought they at least had these rules on the books, although I admit that I imagine it's already tough enough being a CM.

Funny -- even before this thread was started, I was thinking this morning about the lack of understanding so many people seem to have about the lines between personal and public. Yes, you paid for your WDW vacation, but that does not give you the right to totally disregard decent behavior -- you are sharing your vacation with thousands of other people who also have rights (the right to eat without contracting bacterial poisoning, the right to keep profanity from the ears of the young or from anyone frankly who doesn't want to hear that kind of language in a place where they really should not have to hear it, etc.).

I do wish WDW would spend just a little more (I know, I know) on CMs dedicated to security. People who's jobs it would be to let people know that they can't smoke outside of designated areas, that they need to change diapers in restrooms only, that foul language isn't permitted (seriously, tell me I'm not dreaming about that rule!), and to be more generally available when people do get out of control....

[Aw Phooey]

We were hanging around the Marketplace on our last day and there was a guy walking around wearing a T-shirt with a rather freaky looking Mickey on the front and a big bold "F--- YOU! -From Florida" on the back. Guess he doesn't care much for tourists... :earboy2:

[nmmom95]

I agree! My kids know that food that hits the table is the same as food on the floor-do not eat it! I prefer to hold the e.coli on my meals.
Also, I don't think that it is judgmental to expect everyone to keep their butts covered in public, even a baby... I've changed some diapers that I wouldn't subject others to!

I think she could be that ignorant. My future DIL is a little on the larger size with a very well endowed chest, DDDD. She wears tight fitting jeans that show her rear and her thong when she bends over. She also wears very low cut shirts that show almost everything. She thinks she looks good and has no idea how she appears to other people. :confused3 I just try not to eat when she's around because I really lose my appetite. Now that I think of it I should spend more time with her so I can lose some weight. :lmao:

last june trip my family took we were walking in frounter land and i spoted an older man releaving himself threw the split rail fences.didnt even get in the bushes.just steppen up on the curb and let it go.a fence post was kind of hideing it a little but you could tell what was going on.when my dw confermed the situation i fell out laughing i thought it was hilarious.:rotfl2:

[TakeMe2Disney]

I have a 2 year old and another on the way. Never, would I ever consider changing my child's diaper anywhere but a changing station or bathroom. Nobody should be subjected to the smells that come out of my child at times. And Disney has such well kept Baby Care Centers! That's one of the best take a breather moment areas in Disney.

I have two cringe moments. The first would be the guy in front of us on the boat in Small World who decided it would be the perfect opportunity to work a good one up and spit in the water. The other would be walking through World Showcase and getting in to Germany where we witnessed a parent helping their child vomit over the fence in to the grass. Now, I understand when a kids throwing up and it comes out of no where there's sometimes nothing you can do about it. But, it's a little different when the parent says "If you're going to puke, do it over the fence. I don't want to have to deal with cleaning it up!" :crazy2:

[thunderbird1]

I also saw a kid peeing into the shrubbery at POFQ while his dad watched. Apparently the 20 foot walk to the bathroom would have been too much for the lad. :confused3

There ARE changing rooms, but I guess this guy didn't think he needed one. :confused3

[seashoreCM]

...he wet himself. ... but grandma said "he told you he had to go before we got... "
There is no excuse other than bad parenting for a boy past toilet training to wet himself. PM me or watch the movie Jungle To Jungle if you don't get the hint, hint.

Wow... that is all I can say to that... WOW:sad2:

I will say I am sure some people who saw me from behind at MK one day when my pants got a hole in them may have posted here about the lady who was walking around with hot pink undies showing through a hole on the back of her jeans. The hole was actually brought to my attention by a lady standing behind me in line for Aladdin's Carpets. After my face went back to normal from the brought red it had turned, I laughed and mentioned that with the kids these days and what they wear, I'd probably fit in with a lot of them. I really did not want to go all the way back to the hotel and change my clothes. The hole wasn't that big, it was like a hole with threads running through it. I threw the jeans away as soon as I got back to the room, and for the whole time I was at MK, I intentionally kept my back turned against a wall.

I will say, and I don't mean to target any one person's posting that I have seen. I have seen many, many posts where people mention french people or a french person when talking about bad experiences they have had. I just want to point out, that people who mention this while saying the person was french should go ahead and remove the word french from their posting. The main reason being that people stereotype certain nationalities unfortunately, and it really does tag those nationalities negatively. The same goes for people from New York. People stereotype them as rude. They hear someone speaking with a northeastern accent, and say it is a person from NY. Unless the person knows they are from NY, how can they be so sure they are not from New Jersey, Delaware, Virginia or even Arkansas? Yes we have many transplants from the northeast here in AR who bring their accent they picked up as children with them, despite having moved here when they were 18 years old, and have been here for 20 years. So just because you hear someone speaking french, this does not mean they are from france. Many countries around the world speak french as their primary language, including parts of Louisiana where they still carry their french roots and speak french often as their primary language. Canada and parts of Africa as well as some Caribbean islands all have a large population who speaks french.

I don't mean to sound negative, I am just pointing out what I have seen unfortunately quite often, especially on threads about negative experiences at WDW. I am sure that many people do it without thinking, but it still does bother me. It would probably be different if the tables were turned and you repeatedly saw people posting about "this American person" or "this British person", etc. It really can offend people and hurt people. Stereotypes should not be used here on the boards or anywhere for that matter. I hope this posting opens people's minds up who may be inadvertently offending people by saying these types of things, and help them to see their error.

Thank you so much for saying this. It bothers me too and as a French teacher from Quebec living here in the United States, it takes a while to get the point across to my students that stereotyping of any kind is never acceptable. Unfortunately, many of them do it for a laugh from their classmates and it becomes a very long, uphill battle. Anyway, back to topic.

OK, so it's not MY cringe story, but it's so good, I have to share....

A current coworker of mine worked as a custodian in Disney's College program. She said that the day she saw a woman holding her 2-3 year old child over a garbage can to, ahem.., do Number 2 was the day she decided to quit.

We were at Blizzard Beach last June and it looked like it was going to start to rain so we packed up and headed out. While waiting for a bus back to the resort it started to thunder - so they closed the park. As we continued to wait at the front of the line for a bus EVERYONE :scared1:from Blizzard Beach started showing up at the bus stops.

After 30 minutes still not many buses had come and there was a HUGH crowd starting to build and to top it off the thunder was turning to lightening. A bus finally stopped at our bus stop and this lady runs up to the bus driver screaming and yelling at the bus driver that our bus (ALL STARS) should take her (and her group) to THEIR resort instead!!! That they were waiting longer, etc. :confused3

I mean she went crazy yelling. The bus driver tried to tell her he couldn't do that - so then she went to stand in front of the bus, yelling that she wouldn't move! The other people in the line (this was hundreds of people) started shouting at her to get out of the way. Another bus driver came over to help load our bus. And we eventually drove away.

I'm not sure what happened to her - but that was the closest I have ever been to feeling like a riot was about to start. :scared1:



:laughing::laughing::laughing: That's hysterical. I can just picture it. I know it must have been scary, but reading about it, it's just darn funny. She really must have been a little off!:rotfl2:

[SilverL]

I've changed some diapers that I wouldn't subject others to!

Thank God for you!

The other would be walking through World Showcase and getting in to Germany where we witnessed a parent helping their child vomit over the fence in to the grass. Now, I understand when a kids throwing up and it comes out of no where there's sometimes nothing you can do about it. But, it's a little different when the parent says "If you're going to puke, do it over the fence. I don't want to have to deal with cleaning it up!" :crazy2:

Is that literally what the parent said? :sad2: I had a bad experience when I got sick on my first trip to WDW. My stomach was so upset that I couldn't walk without puking, so I was in a wheelchair that day. My parents took my sister on Test Track while I sat in my wheelchair next to some planters. Those plants did not appreciate what I did to them. :crazy2: The way I see it is that it's better to vomit in the bushes than in the walkway. But if a parent had an attitude like that, that's rather upsetting.

OK, so it's not MY cringe story, but it's so good, I have to share.... A current coworker of mine worked as a custodian in Disney's College program. She said that the day she saw a woman holding her 2-3 year old child over a garbage can to, ahem.., do Number 2 was the day she decided to quit.

What is wrong with people? Man, I would quit too.

We watched a lady lay her 2 year old child on the floor of the bus to sleep after a long night at MK.

We once got stuck on the monorail for 90 minutes after park close. There were 8 kids under 6...2 babies...the rest stinky old adults (Like Us). After the first 30 minutes...the kids started melting down...then there were a couple of diaper changes...this was all done with the oh so subtle undercurrent of Serious B.O. The next hour was like akin to a horror movie...We were just trapped...all of us. After about an hour...all the adults started chipping in to take care of kids...we tried singing...Didn't work...we looked for lightening bugs...that was good for 10 minutes.

Honestly, we've never been so glad to see the grand floridian stop.

Hey guys, I'm a cast member, and this, I think, is considered to be a bit cringe-worthy.

Yesterday, when I was working at the TTC, I was closing up the Will Call booth(which is for online reservations, birthdays, etc.) after my manager told me to shut it down, and a guest from the enxt Will Call line came over to me after I already locked the chains at the booth, and asked if they could get on the line (even though I saw that his family was already on the other line and they had obviously seen me close this one), so I said "Sorry sir, this line just closed, but the next one down is for the same tickets and is going fast." Then he said "And I though you all were supposed to be nice to us and let us in..." So I just said "I'm sorry sir, but my boss informed me to close this booth down.

Not even two minutes later, while the booth was just about to close for good and I was directing guests down to the next line, he comes back with a videocamera and stands not even three feet away from me and starts taping me, saying "This is for a newspaper article on hospitality, mind turning around for me?" while I was turning away from this incredibly rude guest who then proceeded to say "Thanks" after saying a few other rude comments to me, that I'm sure he didn't think I heard. So, I went to my managers, after feeling incredibly uncomfortable and not knowing what else this man would do and WHY he would be so rude and videotape me without my consent. Needless to say, security and my managers had a "chat" with him and he eventually apogolized, saying that it was just a joke, and that he was only kidding around with me. Really? Well, they said he was definitely scared off and that he wouldn't cause any more trouble.

We were strolling around MK on our last trip and we end up behind a young gril of about 18-19. She is pooh sized mind you and all we can see from behind is her non-existant see through white mini skirt with a hot pink thong hanging out at the top.
You know, I think I remember seeing her.
We were strolling through AK one morning..I happen to glance over at the tables for Pizzafari (which was not opened yet)....and there was a dad changing his babies diaper on top of one of the tables.
I once worked at Country Bear Jamboree and saw a woman change her child's diaper on the bench next to her during the show. I kept a close eye on her, and sure enough, as the show let out she left the soiled diaper on the bench behind her. I simply walked over to the diaper, smiled, and in my biggest, most booming voice, said, "Excuse me, ma'am! I think you forgot something!" She turned around (along with about 50 other people) to see me looking at the diaper. The look of sheer horror on her face as she realized she was busted was absolutely priceless.
My husband always says he saved my niece from certain blindness at Typhoon Lagoon. I missed it, but apparently a rather portly guy stripped out of his street clothes and into his Speedo right beside them. :scared1:

My husband blocked my niece's view, and thus, she did not go blind!! :rotfl:

There ARE changing rooms, but I guess this guy didn't think he needed one.
He must not have had <cough> much to hide.

OMG... :eek:

Please,... please tell me I'm wrong.:crazy2:

No. You imagined correctly. It was a water fountain. :confused3:scared1:

We carry our own water bottles at the parks and fill them in the CS places. Not water fountains. I'm sure that using water fountains as baby bidets does not happen often but it is enough for us to not use the fountains. :laughing:

A few trips back we were at EPCOT in the evening. We decided to start walking around the World Showcase counter clockwise. We had gone clockwise earlier in the trip. ;) There is a slight rise just before you get to the path around the WS. There was a man on a candy apple red power scooter who weighed 400-500 pounds. What was bad was that behind him was walking a 10-12 year old girl who looked like she weighed around 200 pounds. She looked like she had just done a fast walked around the lake, was red faced, out of breath, and look like she could not take another step. The man on the scooter, who I assume was her dad, was yelling at her to hurry up. :scared1:

He had a nice scooter to haul his fat fanny around EPCOT but he did not care about the stress on his daughter. She really looked like she was about to fall out and go down. :eek:

Later,
Dan

[maddiesmom0116]

We were in Rainforest Cafe in DTD this past January and the very loud family of about 10 had the 9 or 10 year old girl changing the babies diaper. It was a number 2 and the girl was bumped by another customer and droped the poo in the floor and then the kid went pee all over the seat and it was dripping into the floor. Well I was about to throw up as this was right next to us as I watched every member of the family including parents and grandparents come over look at it and laugh. I told my sever when he got back to my table and they got a manager. The people told the manager they had no idea where the poo came from it must have already been there and the wetness was just a spilled drink. The best part was they acted outraged and asked the manager what he was going to do for them since they had to eat by it. :rotfl: The manager came over with this powder stuff and the whole body fluid kit and had someone start cleaning it up. The guy started to yell at the manager about getting there meals free now. I finally said to the manager in front of them that I saw the whole thing. they were mortified and took off. He came over later and told me they never finished paying their bill, but he thanked me for helping in out, he was trying to keep me out of it.

But if somebody said "this black guy did this" or "this latino kid did that," you'd have people chiming right in, criticizing the reference to race.

I was standing at Big Thunder waiting on my husband and saw a young girl (probably 12 or 13) slap her mom and the mom slapped her back. The husband looked over and said something to the mom and she said, "well, she hit me first!"

We were the first ones at the turnstiles at MK and a French family was behind us. The LADY shoves my 5 y/o neice in order to be first through the TS!!! My sister could only think of one thing to say in French which she learned many years ago: "haricot vert". (green bean) We have laughed about that many times. The french family actually looked at us like we were crazy. I guess shoving kids is ok in France.

That is hilarious!!! I will have to brush up on how to say various vegetables in different languages for my next trip! Not sure I could have contained myself to only hurling "vegetables" at her. Thank you for the laugh.

We were staying late in Epcot for Extra Magic Hours, so it was probably close to Midnight. We were boarding the boat ride in Mexico, and there were 2 teenagers behind us. They had obviously been taking something and started to talk about tripping on the ride and wanting to see the fireworks in the ride. They were really out of it, tripping over themselves.

We asked to be in a different boat, and then on the way out, made mention to the cast memeber what we had observed. She seemed young and timid, so I don't really think she did anything. We didn't see them again.

[famsen]

We were in the Tiki Room and in the middle of the show, I smell something foul.
I see out of the corner of my eye a commotion behind me. I turn and behold a woman is changing her baby's diaper using the Tiki Room bench as her changing table.
I just can't believe someone could not leave the show to take care of that in the restroom. :sad2:

I almost had a cringe moment - perpetrated by me. It was in HS several years ago when the Little Einstein's came out of their trailers. My DD wanted to see Annie. We waited in line and two others came out, not Annie. Then the CM told us that Annie would come out this afternoon, on the hour. When we returned at that time, the same CM told us that Annie came out at the 1/2 hour, and said that she never told us that. I think I yelled at her, but quickly walked away, realizing my stress with the situation. ---Stress---

The cringe moment I did witness was a man and his family. The man had one of the electric motorized scooters from Disney. He was also able-bodied and able to get up and walk around. At one point, we were waiting to watch the Princess show at the main stage in front of Cinderella's castle. We were close to the back and I had my DD on my shoulders. He was 20 feet away, and he kept ramming his scooter into the back of people, until they moved out of his way. He rammed his way up to the front row. ---Idiot---

Let's hope there is justice for the idiots out there.

Don't blame me if you don't understand why my post was on-topic.

[eeyoregon]

We were hanging around the Marketplace on our last day and there was a guy walking around wearing a T-shirt with a rather freaky looking Mickey on the front and a big bold "F--- YOU! -From Florida" on the back. Guess he doesn't care much for tourists... :earboy2:

The good news is that he would not be allowed into the parks wearing that shirt. The castmembers would have asked him to turn it inside out or change shirts. What a loser.

My most memorable cringe moment was at park closing at MK at the resort bus loading area. The line was HUGE for our All Stars bus....several hundred poeple and growing.

The bus arrives and they start loading the wheelchair guests. There is a woman near the front of the line that starts screaming, "Seriously!! Enough with the wheelchair crap!!!" and "Why do THEY get to go first?" and so on. How sad considering that one of the wheel chair guest was a make a wish child who was very ill and the parents of this child could hear the woman. If I had been that parent, I would have choked the life out of that satan like woman!!

It boiled my blood something terrible...couldn't fall asleep for hours as I could hear her shrieking devil voice in my head!!! Karma. Hopefully she will get what is coming to her!

[Mr. & Mrs. Smith]

I also saw a kid peeing into the shrubbery at POFQ while his dad watched. Apparently the 20 foot walk to the bathroom would have been too much for the lad. :confused3

This happened to me when I was babysitting. I took the kids to a wildlife preserve. The little boy was around 5 and said, "I have to pee." Before I could even respond, there he was in the middle of the park. :eek: People probably thought I was just horrible.

It just goes to show which cultural or racial stereotypes are acceptable on these boards. You can say "this French guy did this" or "this Brazilian kid did that" and everybody agrees how rude it was and shakes their heads with their little blue smileys. But if somebody said "this black guy did this" or "this latino kid did that," you'd have people chiming right in, criticizing the reference to race.

And it seems perfectly acceptable to mock heavier people. Like the story about the woman with her keys on her thong. Why did we need to know that she was pooh-sized? Or talking about how you want to barf when you look at a large relative. Is this really okay to say out loud??

Take a breath and chill out. The poster stating the family was French was pertinant to the whole saying "green bean" in French thing. Found it funny quite myself and not offended at all.

Ummm....she ended her post by saying, "I guess shoving kids is ok in France." Honestly, you can't see how it's offensive to call an entire nation full of people rude and abusive to children?

I agree to a certain point; however, sometimes facts are stated, such as the time I encountered the rude French manager at Le Chefs Restaurant who told me that perhaps I should carry my 80 year old mother "piggy-back" to the Candlelight Processional after the service at his restaurant had been so slow (to the tune of almost 3 1/2 hours) and incompetent, rude waiters had been the reason. The guy was definitely French!! Being from Louisiana, believe I know the difference between one of our French cajuns and the rude Frenchmen I have encountered twice now at Le Chefs! :rolleyes1

When my DD5 was 13 months old we took her to WDW. I brought along some disposable stick-on placemats for her. Due to all the diaper changing stories I think I will bring them again for all of us when we eat at a CS restaurant! Here's a link to some...

I know I bought them at Babies R Us at the time. Just a thought!!

I think she could be that ignorant. My future DIL is a little on the larger size with a very well endowed chest, DDDD.

That was such a nice thing to read!!! My cringe thing is when people say how gross larger people are...words hurt people!

[dolphindan1]

Take a breath and chill out. The poster stating the family was French was pertinant to the whole saying "green bean" in French thing. Found it funny quite myself and not offended at all.

Thats what I was thinking...if we are gonna get so technical...dont say a mom did this, a dad did that, daughter, son, teenager..etc etc etc....thats still stereotyping isnt it....

just saying...if its relative to the story then it needs to be mentioned I think

[luvthemouse71]

Yes, we are so critical. And why is that considered a bad thing? I don't care how "open-minded" and "understanding" I'm supposed to be. Sorry, but if you are at WDW with your family and manage to get yourself so drunk you can't stay awake and your spouse get's into a shouting match over another margarita then you are in the wrong, not me for objecting to your appalling and boorish behaviour. A little more discernment in life and we'd all be better off.
:thumbsup2 I am getting so tired of all the PC nonsense..Sometimes people act like pigs, plain and simple. I like a drink or two now and then..but it seems like so many people never got away from the binge drinking they did in college. They are incapable of having a good time without alcohol involved. Sad.

Thank GOD someone actually spoke up. What is with people?? They act like if you are thick/fat/pooh/BBW that you are gross. I don't understand it. Now, I agree that everyone, regardless of size, should be tactful in appearance....but why is the word "fat" (or the likes therof) used to degrade the situation or make it seem worse?

Are people really THAT clueless to the billions of dollars a year that are made on the likeness of BBW and BHM? There is a huge market for this.....and the market eixists for a reason - contrary to popular belief.....there ARE people who like it. Imagine that.

What sense of entitlement do some of you have to tell me that Im gross just because Im fat???? I'm 5ft 6in and 275 lbs of blonde hair, big breasts, and a curvy rear. I am HAPPY. Im not a bombshell to everyone....but to many I am.......and comments about large people just appall me.....as would a comment about someone who looks "too skinny and needs a burger".

Does it ever occur to any of you that maybe some of us large people are quite fine with the way we are? It doesn't give us the right to sport around in bikini's tugged up in our cracks any more than it givs you the right to comment on how gross we are bcause we are bigger than you. Again.....TACT.

Its cultural. God forbid you ever see us at a buffet.....I guess you'd vomit.

What if I were laughing at you or calling you gross because you were bony, had no breasts, a flat butt or any other reason related to appearance? How would you feel?

There are folks who find something attractive about the physical apearance of ALL body types. Those of you who don't undrstand that concept display a severe sign of ignorance to reality.

Not being hygenic makes one gross. Being large does not. No one says that you must like large people....and you can certainely think they are gross if you want to.....but it sure must be a sad, sad way to live your life being that we are in a country where 60% of its population is overweight. I can't imagine being grossed out evey day of my life.

I would never donn a white mini-skirt and a in thong in Disney, and the girl should have known better.....however.....how does that make her gross? Are average sized people gross when they do that? Then whats the need to point out that she was fat? You won't sit in a ride after her.....but you'd share a pool and facilties with her if she were in a bathing suit? Is there really that much difference??

I have thoroughly enjoyed this thread and its entertaining stories and I hope there are more to come....but lets not be disrespectful ourselves when pointing out the disrespect of others.

If you're going to tell me Im gross.....at least give me a legitimate reason why.

I'll have a triple layered twinkie covered brownie now.

The good news is that he would not be allowed into the parks wearing that shirt. The castmembers would have asked him to turn it inside out or change shirts. What a loser.

My most memorable cringe moment was at park closing at MK at the resort bus loading area. The line was HUGE for our All Stars bus....several hundred poeple and growing.

The bus arrives and they start loading the wheelchair guests. There is a woman near the front of the line that starts screaming, "Seriously!! Enough with the wheelchair crap!!!" and "Why do THEY get to go first?" and so on. How sad considering that one of the wheel chair guest was a make a wish child who was very ill and the parents of this child could hear the woman. If I had been that parent, I would have choked the life out of that satan like woman!!

It boiled my blood something terrible...couldn't fall asleep for hours as I could hear her shrieking devil voice in my head!!! Karma. Hopefully she will get what is coming to her!
OMG!! How horrible..I would have made my own cringe moment because I would have let that woman have it. I've been more mouthier than usual lately..stuck up for a cashier in my local store because some guy was giving him crap.

These people that complain about wheelchairs..do they not realize that they could be in one tomorrow??

I agree 100%! I would have said something too.


I was on a bus from EPCOT to the Poly in May. This was during the biblical rain period. The bus was packed. I had stood on every bus this trip and it was nice to sit down. I saw a family get on the bus a mom, a daughter around 14, and a son around 12 or 13. The mom asked the daughter to stand with her arms out so she could cushion the son if he starts to fall. I stood up and told them he could sit in my seat. Now there were a lot of men watching what went on but would not give up their seat. I gave them a dirty look. The boy is autistic. The family was so grateful and thanked me quit a few times. I told them I was only doing what everyone else should have done who could. That was a long and ruff bus ride. That boy would have fallen many times if he wasn't sitting. Just because someone doesn't look disabled doesn't mean they aren't.

[quote=seashoreCM;33088489]There is no excuse other than bad parenting for a boy past toilet training to wet himself. PM me or watch the movie Jungle To Jungle if you don't get the hint, hintquote]

I don't get the hint and really don't care why, but you will have to sign me up for parenting classes because my son wet himself 2 years in a row in MK (he was 5 and 6) He had to go but didn't tell anyone because he didn't want to stop having fun. When he finally did tell it was too late to make it to the bathroom, even at a dead sprint.

My cringe worthy experience was at Casey's Corner. It was raining and we were lucky to get a table. There wasn't enough sets for all of us at the table so we had the kids sit and we were taking turns sitting to eat. There was a young couple at the table next to us. They were not eating or drinking and they had 3 chairs at their table. The girl had her foot up on the 3rd chair. This was a bit irritating, but we kept on eating in shifts. The girl then took off her sneaker and placed it on the table. :scared1: She then took off her dirty sock and placed it on the table. :scared1::scared1: She then took the bandages off a blister on her foot and placed them on the table. :scared1::scared1::scared1: She then proceeded to pick the skin off the blister and put the bits on the table! :crazy2: The she got her companion to go to the counter, get her a free cup of water then washed her foot at the table. After she was done she put her sneaker and sock in her bag and walked off wearing one shoe. She left the rest of the debris on the table! :sad2:

[meowmarie]

We were the first ones at the turnstiles at MK and a French family was behind us. The LADY shoves my 5 y/o neice in order to be first through the TS!!! My sister could only think of one thing to say in French which she learned many years ago: "haricot vert". (green bean) We have laughed about that many times. The french family actually looked at us like we were crazy. I guess shoving kids is ok in France.

omg I've been reading threads like this all day and this is the first thing that has made me giggle outloud uncontrollably! My husband came in to find out what was so funny :laughing: The only word I would have remembered would have been bibliothèque. Can you just imagine someone madly yelling LIBRARY at you in a crowd? :rotfl2:

As far as saying they were French, not only is it an integral part of the story, but sometimes mentioning a person's "features" helps me envision the story better. I didn't find it rude. As for the last line I just took it as sarcasm.

And about the diaper changing thing, I actually saw this in a coffee shop about a month ago, I couldn't friggin believe it! The bathroom was right behind her and had a nice baby changing thing in it.

I wish I had a good cringe-worthy Disney story. Most of the things we've encountered are just general rudeness, teenage antics and bad fashion lol, most of which I can easily overlook. Just don't do anything to ruin my daughter's good time and we're all good :upsidedow

[LockShockBarrel]

I will never look at green beans the same way again.

I think we all have to calm down a little on the PC though. The world would be silent if we could only say things that didn't insult anyone. Anything can be taken as an insult if you go far enough with it. Perhaps I insulted a cheesemaker today when I told someone I thought it was a horrible tasting cheese. Maybe I felt insulted when someone told me I have beautiful brown eyes, but I'd rather have green. I agree the race or nationality thing can get a little out of hand, but sometimes saying "that french guy" makes the story clearer because a behavior is more characteristic for a Frenchman than say a Dutchman. I also happen to be Pooh sized, or Ursula sized if you want to go the gender route, but I don't think it's right for someone of my stature to walk around with everything hanging out, especially in public. I don't think it's offensive for someone to say "there was a hefty gal with a whale tail that was horrible to watch", I find it more offensive that she was dressed like that honestly. I'll get off my soapbox now (which is disney themed by the way) and just say, be aware of what your saying and how it may come across to others, but at the same time is it fair to jump down someone's throat and attack their character when maybe they innocently (or so they thought) said the phrase "the brazilian woman" or "the hefty dude"?

Anyway I have several cringe stories, most of them with the same theme. It's incredible to listen to people throw out snooty comments about handicap people. I can't tell you how many times I've heard "wow must be nice to get on the ride faster because you have that dog with you" muttered under someone's breath (my father is blind and has a guide dog, to clear up any confusion) I usually don't spend any more time on those times of people than a dirty look, but on the last trip one man took it a bit far. We had ADR's at Crystal Palace, and when we checked in, I asked the hostess if it'd be possible to get a table a little out of the way so that the dog wouldn't be in people's way. She said she's take care of it and it so happened that the next table up fit that description. A man with his family decided he needed to point this out to everyone in a 50 foot radius and proceeded to yell "SEE THAT? WE WERE HERE FIRST AND JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE THAT STUPID DOG WITH THEM THEY GET TREATED LIKE FRICKIN ROYALTY!" I whipped around and was about to rip into this man myself, but an elderly gentleman from another group put his hand on my shoulder, got real close to the man who'd shouted and said "Sir do you really want to play that game? I hope you realize you've just embarrassed the rest of your family (which he had, the wife and sons looked mortified) and you've cemented yourself in the minds of all these people around us as "That a$$hole". It was stunning.

[LockShockBarrel]

I also forgot to mention:

EWWW with the diapers and baby bidet!! Don't people realize how unsanitary that is?! As if the billion bathrooms and babycare centers aren't enough they need to use tables and benches too? And you know these are the same people who would just burst into flames if someone else did that in front of them at a restaurant and demand to be compensated for it.

Agree that the family being French is pertinent to the story. What isn't is the line "I guess shoving kids is ok in France" Don't tar a whole country with your one french family.

Just as we don't say "I guess it is ok to change your baby on a table in America" obviously it isn't the whole country that does it.

We watched a lady lay her 2 year old child on the floor of the bus to sleep after a long night at MK.

We once got stuck on the monorail for 90 minutes after park close. There were 8 kids under 6...2 babies...the rest stinky old adults (Like Us). After the first 30 minutes...the kids started melting down...then there were a couple of diaper changes...this was all done with the oh so subtle undercurrent of Serious B.O. The next hour was like akin to a horror movie...We were just trapped...all of us. After about an hour...all the adults started chipping in to take care of kids...we tried singing...Didn't work...we looked for lightening bugs...that was good for 10 minutes.

Honestly, we've never been so glad to see the grand floridian stop.

Now I would have changed the bubs in here on the floor if we were stuck because quite frankly it would be smelling anyway (better off and in a nappy bag containing some smell), I wouldn't know how long we would be stuck for and I wouldn't want baby stuck in a dirty nappy for too long. I am sorry can appreciate it would be horrific to be stuck with all that but the family probably wasn't liking it much either.

I told a lady that she had her knickers caught in the back of her bathing suit, she thought I said necklace and was wondering what the big deal was. I did tell her again as she was about to walk out of the changing room. She was so grateful.

We are at Place where thousands of People and Familys are gathered for extended period of time,from all over the world!. They come here and feel a certain comfort level,and or they let the heat(that they may not be comfortable to) get to them or what ever reason they act the way they do. Are we so crtical of others with out thinking that maybe others look at us the same way?. Not to say that theses circumstance are not unusuale and some times hard to watch,but maybe before we jump the gun assumue and or critsize we should stop to think that we do not know the whole story. No wrong or rights here sorry If It came out wrong:goodvibes just my thought:goodvibes.

OK, now I've heard it all. Can you give me even ONE possible scenario that would make changing a poop diaper on a food service establishment's table "understandable". Or, parents with their children being so drunk they fight and fall asleep at the table? Or cutting in line? Really. What can you come up with that would make any of these things understandable?

[Indiana Rose Lee]

[QUOTE=bkelly65us;33084790]Yes, we are so critical. And why is that considered a bad thing? because If we stoop to there level where no better then them,and we are not Intoxicated so what Is our exceuse, are we not able to walk away with out feeling to voice our oppion? or objection. Now If there Is physical harm to people and or Children because of the situation then yes by all means step In. But I gurantee with the person or persons Intoxicated out of control It will lead to a physical confertation.

huh?

Confrontation is not the only way people react to intoxication.

There is no excuse for being out of control, for being rude and pushing people around, or for changing diapers where one eats!!!!

my cringe story: My mom is in an ecv due to arthritis. It is her own personal scooter. She had parked it, and we had gone in to eat. When we came out, there was a lady sitting on it, and allowing her kids to look through the basket. She had the nerve to look offended when we took it!

She has also had people ask her to hold their kid when we were parked to see the parade. Would you allow (let alone ask) a stranger in a theme park to hold your 4 year old????

[Indiana Rose Lee]

Is that literally what the parent said? :sad2: I had a bad experience when I got sick on my first trip to WDW. My stomach was so upset that I couldn't walk without puking, so I was in a wheelchair that day. My parents took my sister on Test Track while I sat in my wheelchair next to some planters. Those plants did not appreciate what I did to them. :crazy2: The way I see it is that it's better to vomit in the bushes than in the walkway. But if a parent had an attitude like that, that's rather upsetting.


If you were that sick, why on earth did they take you to the parks. Imagine how many vacations were ruined because of you being there?!

[all4disney98]

We were strolling through AK one morning..I happen to glance over at the tables for Pizzafari (which was not opened yet)....and there was a dad changing his babies diaper on top of one of the tables. :scared::scared::scared:

That is DISGUSTING!! I don't think I will ever look at a counter service table the same way again.

[danissmart]

My son, who has the strongest bladder on the planet, began wetting himself on several occasions when he was 6. It was a short lived problem. Talked to teacher, doctor, tried to get to the bottom of it. The problem corrected itself and never resurfaced. :confused3You never know why a child might have toileting issues, and it may not be a parenting issue at all.

[GinnyBear's_mom]

The other day at Chef Mickey's a family was sitting behind us and all you could hear from the moment they sat down was the father on a business call. He was very loudy talking about work related issues and his wife and 6 or 7 year old son just sat quietly (as if they weren't allowed to talk if he was on the phone). His phone conversation lasted over a half hour. When he was done on the phone he then asked a CM when Minnie was coming. He spent all this money on this breakfast and Minnie wasn't even coming to his table (she was on the other side of the restaurant). He stood up and got in the CM's face and ws pointing his finger in her face! He told the CM that she was to bring Minnie over or else he wanted to speak to her manager. At that point Pluto was walking around and I guess that satisfied his character need and he calmed down.

At Chef Mickey's on the same day one table over was a family of four with 2 girls, one looked to be about 5 the other was 7 or so. The parents left them at the table to go to the buffet, they were gone quite a while, becuase the parents weren't there when Mickey or Goofy or Pluto came by (maybe around 45 minutes?). The characters kept looking for someone to take pictures of them with the girls and were making motions of taking pictures with a camera. A mother at another table and myself took turns taking pictures of the girls and the characters with their disposable camera.

[Missytara]

Two come to mind immediately and they were on the same trip.

First one at Epcot, in front of Germany. Two college aged girls, one dressed in a tin foil hat with a propellor on top of it and silver make-up and the second girl dressed the same, but pretending to carry and use an old-time camera. The girl with the "Camera" said, "Roll 'em" so it looked at first like part of a show. The first girl started ranting about how Disney cuts off people's creativity and suddenly people will not be able to think for themselves like robots or martians. I did a double take, and they were gone... whisked away behind some door with security. I never even saw the security come out.

Second one was the resort buses at DTD; a very obese threesome, turned out to be husband, wife, and wife's sister. The husband butted in line of the two women to get on the bus, the wife pushed him and he in turn pushed her and the sister both at the same time. They were too mysteriously whisked away somewhere.....

After all of the discussion on this thread so far about sensitivity, why would you find it necessary to mention that the threesome was obese? Would it somehow be less rude if they were slender? If they were of colour, would you mention that they were black? I'm not pooh-sized myself but I find this hate against such people really offensive.

Doesn't matter if you've been here for years or one day. Or if you have one post or 10 million.


And to anyone critizing other posters telling them not judge a stranger for a few second they saw them acting badly...
By posting your complaint your doing exactly what your telling everyone else not to do. which is judging someone based on a post.

jeeze people can't we just share stories and opinoins without judging other posters speech.

(and sorry I not trying to single anyone out, just an example)

that's my cringe moment.

I have one. My family was on the bus returning from the parks and another family (extended family with 4 adults) starting biting the tips off of the glow necklaces and bracelets and spilling the glowing liquid all over their kids so that the kids will glow. My husband and I (and even my kids who were 7, 5, and 2) were all shocked. My 7 and 5 year old kept saying that your not supposed to do that. My husband and I decided to get off at an earleir stop before our family got sprayed with any of the liquid inside those necklaces.

DH and I were on our honeymoon this past February and we were on into our second day when something extremely cringe-worthy happened.

We were eating lunch at a CS (Cosmic Rays I believe) and we had decided to sit outside because it was really nice out and there was no one else around. I'm about half way into my meal when these two women come running out, diaper bags swinging and their two infants crying madly. I was about to ask if I could help with anything(I thought the children were injured or something) my offer was ignored, but to my horror these two women proceed to grab up two trays from a nearby table. They then place their children on said trays and begin to change their diapers. I'm talking nasty-oozing-poo-filled diapers right there next to my meal. Well I guess one of the women wasn't very concentrated on what she was doing because she got some stuff on her hand and instead of reaching and getting a wipe, she proceeds to wipe it on the table, leaving a very nice smear for all to see. Once finished, these two women pick up their children and walk off, leaving the poo diapers on the table, not even really sealing them, the smear mark and the tarnished trays which had a strong smell of pee to them.

Needless to say I never finished my meal because I was too sickened both my the smell and by these women's actions in a public place. I quickly found a manager on my way out, described the events and the women and went on my merry way about the rest of the park.

Spoken like someone who is fortunate enough to be able to have children.

Just wanted to say that there are literally millions of children around this big world of ours who need parents. I know, I'm blessed to be the mother of 2 of them :goodvibes

We can all be "fortunate enough to be able to have children" if we choose :thumbsup2

And then we can all have the right to judge one another's parenting styles ;)

I saw an Asian guy dressed up in a Japanese school girls uniform at Disneyland once. About 30 feet behind him were about 3 Disneyland security gaurds ready to escort the man/girl out of the park.

Not really a cringe moment, but it did get a chuckle out of me.

[SilverL]

If you were that sick, why on earth did they take you to the parks. Imagine how many vacations were ruined because of you being there?!

I apologize if I ruined anyone's vacation that day. FWIW, my parents are part French. :rotfl:

(I was fine after about an hour, ditched the wheelchair and enjoyed the World Showcase very much---but I never did ride Test Track on that trip!)

I respectfully disagree on this. That all depends on one's sexual orientation and where they live. Just some food for thought.

Maybe your post should read: "All we heterosexual people can be fortunate enough to be able to have children" if we choose

I auctually do have a little girl of my own, thank you. I was just pointing out that people, if they have children or not, have the right to have opinions about other's parenting styles/ etc... as long as they are discussed in a respectful and polite way.:flower3:

I can tell someone is an abusive or irresponsible parent, and having my own child has nothing to do with it.

Seriously?!?!? Now this PC crap has gone WAY too far. Why must things be read with the intention of being offended? Who says that there is no way to ADOPT said children and this "have" them, eh?

I am offended that you assume, based on the poster's choice of words that they are an insensitive homophobe!

Some people need to get off the high horse, lighten up, and enjoy the stories.

One time is at least partially understandable. But the second time? Thats just ridiculous.

5 and 6 year olds aren't exactly known for their upper level thinking skills or for practicing impulse control. :confused3 :confused3No biggie.

eta: My non heterosexual sister just adopted a darling little girl. Does that make it ok to say?

Okay, the only cringe moment I can think of right now......I am sure more will come to mind.

I was at Earl of Sandwich with my family waiting for our order. A family (Mother, young child, and grandmother maybe) sitting at a table across from us were eating their meal. They had a small child with them which looked about 2-3 years old. The mother would hand the child the condiment bottles and the child would suck on them. As the adults ate the child had every condiment bottle and had sucked from them. As they finished eating the mother took the condiment bottles and put them back in their holder before they left. So, remember only to use packet condiments while at Disney! :thumbsup2

By the way, as soon as the family left my wife went and got the condiments off that table and took them to an employee expaining why she was turning them in.

Was he driving a rental scooter and wearing a pink thong?

Tell your wife thank you. Geez, this thread is incredible! I just CAN'T believe that people are SO nasty! I'm getting more germophobic as we speak. And I already carry Purell and use it obsessively!

Don't be an ***. Nobody said anything of the sort. One person said, essentially, that anybody can adopt. The next person respectfully disagreed, saying essentially that gays living in some parts of the country cannot adopt.

edit - not sure why this attributes the quote to barleyjack; the words i quoted were posted by disneynutinnj, and that is who i was advising not to be an ***.

Less clever is your annoying response.

[WishingMom]

Thank GOD someone actually spoke up. What is with people?? They act like if you are thick/fat/pooh/BBW that you are gross. I don't understand it. Now, I agree that everyone, regardless of size, should be tactful in appearance....but why is the word "fat" (or the likes therof) used to degrade the situation or make it seem worse?

Are people really THAT clueless to the billions of dollars a year that are made on the likeness of BBW and BHM? There is a huge market for this.....and the market eixists for a reason - contrary to popular belief.....there ARE people who like it. Imagine that.

What sense of entitlement do some of you have to tell me that Im gross just because Im fat???? I'm 5ft 6in and 275 lbs of blonde hair, big breasts, and a curvy rear. I am HAPPY. Im not a bombshell to everyone....but to many I am.......and comments about large people just appall me.....as would a comment about someone who looks "too skinny and needs a burger".

Does it ever occur to any of you that maybe some of us large people are quite fine with the way we are? It doesn't give us the right to sport around in bikini's tugged up in our cracks any more than it givs you the right to comment on how gross we are bcause we are bigger than you. Again.....TACT.

Its cultural. God forbid you ever see us at a buffet.....I guess you'd vomit.

What if I were laughing at you or calling you gross because you were bony, had no breasts, a flat butt or any other reason related to appearance? How would you feel?

There are folks who find something attractive about the physical apearance of ALL body types. Those of you who don't undrstand that concept display a severe sign of ignorance to reality.

Not being hygenic makes one gross. Being large does not. No one says that you must like large people....and you can certainely think they are gross if you want to.....but it sure must be a sad, sad way to live your life being that we are in a country where 60% of its population is overweight. I can't imagine being grossed out evey day of my life.

I would never donn a white mini-skirt and a in thong in Disney, and the girl should have known better.....however.....how does that make her gross? Are average sized people gross when they do that? Then whats the need to point out that she was fat? You won't sit in a ride after her.....but you'd share a pool and facilties with her if she were in a bathing suit? Is there really that much difference??

I have thoroughly enjoyed this thread and its entertaining stories and I hope there are more to come....but lets not be disrespectful ourselves when pointing out the disrespect of others.

If you're going to tell me Im gross.....at least give me a legitimate reason why.

I'll have a triple layered twinkie covered brownie now.

Well said!!!

[danissmart]

These diaper changing stories are really beginning to gross me out. Where do these people come from? If I ever see this happen, I vow to immediately say something to the offending party, and to report them immediately after that.

[Mrs.Toad]

I might have the diaper story beat. While EATING dinner at the Cape May Cafe one evening, the family right next to us decided to put their child on the floor right next to our table and proceed to change his #2 diaper. We almost barfed from the smell. I couldn't believe the lack of class and consideration. Needless to say, our dinner was ruined. You know, I often think people are overreacting when they say a loud child at a nearby table "ruined" their meal, but in the case of a diaper change, I agree. That would definitely ruin my dinner! :eek: :sick:

I once worked at Country Bear Jamboree and saw a woman change her child's diaper on the bench next to her during the show. I kept a close eye on her, and sure enough, as the show let out she left the soiled diaper on the bench behind her. I simply walked over to the diaper, smiled, and in my biggest, most booming voice, said, "Excuse me, ma'am! I think you forgot something!" She turned around (along with about 50 other people) to see me looking at the diaper. The look of sheer horror on her face as she realized she was busted was absolutely priceless. Good for you!! :thumbsup2 :lmao:

Some people need to get off the high horse, lighten up, and enjoy the stories. I didn't get that from BarleyJack's post at all. I thought he was just pointing out (politely and calmly, by the way), that in some states, some people are not allowed to adopt due to their sexual orientation. Which is the truth.
