Admit it! Have you peeved someone at WDW? Inspired by Pet Peeves

[LoraJ]

I peeved some guy off at WDW once. I tend to walk fast. I was approaching Jungle Cruise. There was a family walking really slow towards where the line starts (about 20 feet) and I walked ahead of them and got in line. The dad of the family gave me the evil eye the whole time we were in line. At one point the line split and he got sent to the other queue. His boat loaded before mine (but barely). You should have seen the smug look he was giving me. I gave a "why does it even matter" look back. You would think I had cut this guy off by an inch on the highway.

Why yes I have. I told two ladies once to "shut up" during the Beauty and the Beast show. They wouldn't stop talking.

I have three kids, two who use a stroller, so I'm sure I've peeved somebody off a time or two! I know I peeved off a lady who was standing in line in front of us the other day at DL. Her and her friends three little ones were jumping and running all over the concrete wall as we were waiting in line for Monsters, Inc., and they'd bumped into us several times. I looked down at my two boys who were patiently waiting, quietly playing with the little toy planes we had just bought them, and loud enough for the lady and her friend to hear I said "What good boys you are today! Thank you for waiting in line so patiently!". They shot me some dirty looks, but I could have cared less - I felt better!

I have asked several folks to please go to the smoking areas to smoke when they were next to me, smoking, a LONG way away from the nearest smoking area. They gave me the look. With one, who refused, I asked a nearby CM to explain the rules to him.

I would imagine someone in my family has but no one has ever said anything too us.

One time I pissed off a man who was walking outside of Country Bear Jamboree. He was walking one way and I was walking another, pushing my son in a stroller. We were both obviously on our way somewhere, concentrating on getting there and almost bumped into each other. No big deal and in a situation like that I'm quick to say, "excuse me". Well the man went off on me and obviously had a problem with strollers. My sister, who has grown children and grandchildren had witnessed what happened and agreed that I hadn't done anything more wrong than he had and that he was a total grouch. So yes, he was pretty peeved at me! But of course I was peeved at him, too. But I got over it and he had to live with himself.

I'll have to find a more recent example and do a cut and past of something that happened on my last trip because I don't want to relive that one by retyping it! It's a humdinger!

Probably more times then I know! One I do remember was a CM at IASW. She kept yelling "baby on lap, baby on lap". I had no idea she was talking to me. My "baby" just turned 3 and he was sitting inbetween my DH and I. She wouldn't let the boat go until I put him on my lap (honestly, he was safer on the seat). She was cranky, but I sure did peeve her by not knowing she was talking to me. In defense of myself, there was a baby in the seat ahead of us, already on a mom's lap...I kept thinking the CM was blind and couldn't see that baby on her lap. Opps, she was talking to me!

I was in line for Soarin and a family of 6 was in line in front of me. While moving in the line a little boy around 7 or 8 kept running in circles around me and kicking my shin everytime he did his circle. After asking him to stop the adults started laughing so the next time he did his circle I backed up real fast and he fell on his tush then I started lauging. Needless to say he stopped being so disruptive in line.

Yup! Still don't understand what her problem was. I had my kids in their stroller and was standing at an intersection of sorts waiting to merge into the crowd. This man and a little boy walked past me, and their was a HUGE space between them and these two women. No way would you have ever thought they were together - you see where I'm going with this, huh? Well, we started out, and this woman yells at me to quit butting in front of her. I mean, we were walking down the road, not waiting in line for a ride. I just ignored her and kept walking. She runs to catch up (she really was that far away) and then walks around us, saying over her shoulder, "Stupid idiot!" My DD looked up at me and asked me who she was talking to. I just said, "Herself for thinking she owns the road."

Here's my cut and paste of my Soarin' experience that happened in January.

"I came across a crazy lady in the Soarin' line. We had about a 30 minute wait for our very first time on Soarin' We pulled a fastpass, but then decided to go ahead and wait in the standby line since we were excited about riding it. In the initial waiting line there are these big panals of nature scenes, with different nature facts that "appear". Interesting to look at the panals and read the info when waiting in line. An older couple (grown kids kind of old, but not "old") got into line in back of us and the lady started her non-stop complaining. She had a headache and kept telling her DH and was pissed that he hadn't wanted to get a fast pass. The complaining went on for 25 minutes and I just ignored her. We stood there, read the panals, my DD and I talked to each other, etc. Normal line experience, or so we thought. Then at one point I was standing next to my DD, facing her, and I thought this woman said something to me so I looked over at her. Well, she did say something to me--she started yelling at me to quit staring. Uh, I hadn't been staring. I don't think I said anything to her and her husband kept telling her that nobody was staring at her. My DD and I moved as far away from her as possible and then one of us said something quietly to the other and that made her start talking about how "now we were talking about her". Hmmm, wonder why. Thankfully we reached the front of the line at about that time and were sent to a different line from them...thankfully. I'll have to say that was a real experience. For awhile after that I was afraid to strike up a conversation with anyone. Of course now my DD and I laugh about it."

You know the theaters and 3D shows that you know are going to be a full house and the castmembers tell guests to move ALL the way down. Yet the person infront of you never does. I always make sure to step on their foot when walking over them.

Gee, I'd never step on their feet....

The only thing I can think of is once when we were in line for Kilimanjaro Safari. My then 2yo was enjoying "reading" the park map and kept putting it down on the ground to look at it when the line was at a standstill. Well, each time the line would move up a few feet, it would take me 3 or 4 seconds to get her to pick up the map and move forward.

This guy behind us kept passing us in those few seconds, like we were taking too long or something. I just kept passing him again to join back up with the rest of our family. It was quite obvious we were together, so his actions seem to indicate he wasn't very happy about leaving a couple of feet of line space empty for a few seconds every now and then.

Oh, and when we got near the front of the line, we put the map away, so there was no hesitation getting on the actual ride.

Oh yeh! Remembered another one. This one really bothered me for some reason. We had just finished watching Wishes and were getting the kids in the stroller and our belongings together to get ready to leave. I stepped backwards up onto a sidewalk to get a better look down in the basket of our stroller and didn't notice a lady coming down the sidewalk on a ECV. When I saw her, I apologized and stepped back off the sidewalk. She lights into me about not paying attention, people like me shouldn't be there if we couldn't be considerate of others, I was a horrible example for my children, etc. I was stunned, and a total stranger standing nearby finally said, "Lady, back off. She said she was sorry." She then starts yelling at him to "keep his wife in control." I just rolled my eyes, thanked the guy, and walked off. We decided she had way overdosed on pixie dust and thought she was a true princess who owned "The World."

Many times I am sure. The first incident that comes to mind involved Spectromagic. My DH and I got a spot on the rope about 1/2 hour before the parade, out somewhere in frontierland. We were standing at the rope as was everyone else around us. At some point people came in behind us--there was a bench back there, and they sat on it. When the parade started all the people on the bench started yelling at the people on the rope to sit down so they could watch without having to stand up from the bench. It was really weird, considering we all had been standing there the entire time, it wasn't like we were sitting and then stood up. Whatever, DH and I, along with the people around us, sat down so the angry people could see from the bench, but the people kept yelling at us! I specifically remember one person yelling "What's wrong with you? Can't you see that there are children back here?" Um, no, I was not paying attention to you, I did not even know you were back there.

The kicker was that the park was not even crowded--there were plenty of spots open on the rope further down on the opposite side if they had wanted to sit on the ground as opposed to the bench. So now when I stake out my spot for the parade, I make darned sure there isn't a bench behind me!

 

[FreshTressa]

Always...

We are the types that when we had kids on strollers, we would just stop to look at something and the crowd behind would get mad that we stopped.

People hate that! I try to get off to the side before stopping and looking, but when it is crowded, there is no side!

One day at AK, we were in a huge line for Tarzan Rocks. In front of us was a Mom, Dad, and kid (in stroller). About halfway down the walkway to get to the theater, they had CMs pulling the strollers to the side. While the people in front of us stopped to drop off their stroller, we kept walking past (along with LOTS of folks behind us). The Mom ran up to me, GRABBED MY ARM (leaving bruises) and started SCREAMING at me about cutting in front of her in line. A nearby manager came over to see what was going on (I was just standing there shocked while this woman was screaming at me), and security showed up a second later (I guess the manager radioed them). I never even said a word to this crazy woman and she was lead off with security while we went and watched the show.

I can't believe you sat down! I wouldn't have given in.

 

[FreshTressa]

Oh..I know another one.

We were at one of the water parks and it was kind of cold out. Know how sometimes they leak and drip water on the people below?

Well, we wouldn't stand under the drips...So when the line moved forward, we would wait until there was room on the other side of the drips before moving past the drips...We just didn't want to stand there with water dripping on us!

Anyway, the people behind us were getting peeved. The could not STAND that there was space in line not being used. Like they would get there faster!!! Made no sense.

They told us to move forward, we said no! I explained to them how lines worked.
They quit bugging us, but kept grumbling! (they were teenagers)

Neither would I!
