I love to drop-in and get the other side of the coin at Stupid Guest tricks .com
Here's an example of one of the great stories on the topic of- "I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW BAD SOME PEOPLE CAN ACT"
Exit runners are an issue at Dumbo, that is one of the reasons we have "boarding passes", it allows us to see who waited in and who tried to sneak in. I will never forget this one night when a lady and her son came up the exit and parked themselves in a Dumbo. As I was coming around I asked them for their boarding pass, and they calimed that I had failed to give them one. Meanwhile, a woman and her son who do have a boarding pass were without a Dumbo. I told her that I was sorry if I had missed her, but she needed to step out of the Dumbo and we would get her on in a couple of rides. She kept swearing up and down that I had not given her a pass, that it was their last ride of the night and they were going home, that they didn't have time etc. I told her that we would not run the ride until she stepped out of the Dumbo, and that it would take longer to sit here than it would if she stepped out and we let her on in a couple of rides. I finally told her that if she didn't step out I would call security. This has always worked before but she called my bluff. She kept repeating her story and saying that she was embarassed, I told her, "Ma'am, you are going to be more embarassed when security escorts you off the ride in front of everybody."
After she still refused to budge, I talked to my partner and he said, "I'm sick and tired of them doing this, call security." By this point, we knew she had come up the exit instead of waiting in line, for several reasons:
1.) I stand at the turnstile handing out the tickets, there was no way for her to get by me without at least seeing her and recognizing her later.
2.) If I had missed her, she would have said something when long walk did the boarding pass spiel or when she noticed me handing those to everybody else.
3.) No guest told us that she was in line with them, and believe me, they are very quick to point out our mistakes.
4.) Several guests told us that they had seen her come up the exit.
We called a coordinator, a manager, and security. Security came and escorted her off of the ride, and everybody was applauding. We did not get her on in a couple of rides since Security escorted her off, and everybody on the ride and in the line was clapping. I felt bad making the other guests wait, but if you give in to them, they will pull the same stunt on other rides, and you are condoning their behavior.

and proceeded to change his diaper...you could actually see the public restroom sign from where we were sitting in the food court...... When she came back to their table I guess her Dh told her we were watching (plus I think our mouths were still hanging open in shock) and she walked over to our table and said that we didn't know what it was like to have kids........DUH! DD was sitting right there! They are not born fully grown ya know! End of rant, I will never forget that! It was DH and DD's first trip to Disney and that was our first "magical" encounter!
They think its "fun" to abuse animals, chase squirrels in trees, and try and catch Ducks!
Many a time I have had to yell at kids for trying to abuse animals, and I yell pretty loud: "Hey!! Leave the animals ALONE they belong here YOU don't!"
