I base my opinion on what the person that was actually there said and experienced.
As is your right and I disagree on your conclusion as is my right.......we can agree to disagree....AKK

Talking about our recent trip this comment by a CM came up. We were in the top part of the line for It's a Small World. In front of us was a family with a little girl who was doing the whole kid thing and not immediately keeping up with her mom so we were giving them a little room. Still keeping up but not passing the little girl in line. The CM came up to me and said in a snarky tone "Mam, I'm going to do you a favor. The line goes that way." We were all in order in the que, did she expect me to breathe down the neck of the people in front of us and separate them from their child? I was so taken aback by the tone and comment that I didn't even say anything back. Would you have been offended?
This is the exact kind of situation where I would make some sort of comment designed to make the rude person feel very uncomfortable and wish they had never made their comment in the first place. If that had been me, I would have said something along the lines of "I have many talents in the bedroom that you wish you could experience" (but I'd probably have made it a little more explicit).
I think you know the answer to that musing.Sometimes I wonder if people reported Disney had a new policy where every fifth person that came in the park would be hit in the knee with a tire iron if someone would still defend the practice and blame the person who was hit because they should have timed it better to not be the fifth person in.
With all due respect, If you had quoted my whole post in the first place, you would have seen the additions.

Hmm... maybe he thought that since your husband had all these great talents and achievements that yours must be just as great or better since you're together? I'm just gonna say that cause it sounds nicer than the alternative lol. I can't believe someone would be so blatantly mean though to a customer for no reason... Yeesh.I've only been offended by a CM once. We were in MK and a photo pass photographer was talking to my husband about being a triathlete. DH had just completed the Lake Placid Ironman and had a tattoo that the CM noticed. After their discussion, the CM turned to me and said, "Ok, I get why you're with him. He's in great shape and he's an Ironman, but why is he with you?" My jaw hit the floor. I told him I had no idea and I just walked away. I don't think he meant to hurt my feelings, but he did.
Well, if it was said with a grin, sure. But the OP said, the comment was said in a snarky way. So, rude.
I would not be offended, but it strikes me as an ignorant thing to say.
Maybe the CM thought the little girl was with you?
I so wish that I could be for mistaken for the mom of one that young and I am certainly not ready to be a grandmother.
You know when people are teasing you. They smile, they use a lilting tone of voice, etc. The CM was in no way teasing.
I hate it when they say "fill in all the available space". It really doesn't make a difference unless you are right at the loading platform. On a hot day, who wants to be crowded together. One example last time was Pirates, we were far back in the caves, no where near the loading area. Why did we have to be smashed together? As long as everyone is caught up when you load.
I'm not talking about leaving "gaps". I just mean it's not necessary to be elbow to elbow. Allow some breathing room.

Ignorant how?
In another mood at another time the OP might have found it amusing.
I think that comment was unnecessary and rude, but I wouldn't let it bother you too much. I bet the CM didn't even realize they were being rude.

I know. In my best Mr. Woodcock voice "Rhetorical question Kalliope!"I think you know the answer to that musing.

Scrap, I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to say here...but I have to admit you've got my attention
Can I add you to my friend list?
LOL yes this...me too...the CM would have been 6ft under...I have a short fuse. I would have had the cast member fill the quota over at the Haunted Mansion lol
No, the CM's job is to keep the line moving. Perhaps you misunderstood snark for the CM poking a little fun in a silly way.
