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

[mickeymousemom]

A couple years ago we were in WoD and it was loud and crowded. We were not very far inside the store, and I was in a tight area with the stroller. There was a lady and her DD in front of me, and I couldn't fit around them, so I said "excuse me" ina nice polite manner. She didn't hear me. I said it again, her DD turned around, looked at me, and then turned back towards her mom(she was around 5 or 6). I said it again...very nicely. Still nothing. Being as it was so loud in that area, I assumed she wasn't hearing me so I said it again only loud so she'd hear. She turned around and immediatley started telling me off, telling me how rude I was, etc. She then mumbled something about not needing to be in there anyway and turned around and marched right out of the store. It all happened so fast that I really didn't have time to think about it. After I watched her walk out, I turned to my older DD and said, "What was THAT all about?". I then realized she must have had Disney burn out or something and oh well....i did nothing. I laughed to myself and turned around to continue shopping.

In re: the OP who is a fast walker...I can be the same way..esp when walking towards a ride. If i see a group of people walking towards the line, be it a ride or a CS place, I will invariably walk faster to get in ahead of them. I don't race them, I just walk faster when I see them walking very slow. I have had a few dirty looks given to me for this reason.



OKAY, this post should NOT be here! SORRY!

I have also received plenty of dirty looks when we're in a preshow and people leave BIG OPEN gaps....because I take advantage of that and work my way towards the door, so as to move up a few spots in line. My oldest DD does the same thing...she's been trained well. It's not my fault that people don't move all the way over as they're told. I'm not cutting, I'm just filling in the empty space

I have to admit that I get really annoyed by people in lines not moving up and filling in spaces in front of them. I don't know why it bugs me. It's not unreasonable to hold back for a few seconds and then move up, but it just bothers me.

However, I'd never say anything or show my impatience because I do realize that it's kind of an irrational annoyance.

Anyway, as to the OP's question, I'm sure I've peeved people off unknowingly. Just from looking at the Peeves thread here's what I've done:

walked too slow
walked too fast
worn the wrong shoes
worn a waist pack
not given up my seat on the bus
not given up my place in line in the bathroom
stopped to smell the roses
let a bad word slip

I admit it. I'm evil.

That does it--there is NO WAY that I'm going on the Ladies Only DIS meet!

Last July we did the Fantasmic dinner and show package. When we got to the seating area about 30 minutes before the show we were directed to an aisle where this man, his wife and their 2 teenage boys were sitting. They were kind of in the center of the aisle and there was about 5 feet of space between them and the people to their left. As it got closer to the show, the CM was telling people to move all the way down to make room for more and this family wouldn't budge. I said, "excuse me, but we need to move down to make room for more people." and he very nastily said, "I don't have to move down, WE have reserved seats. This is a RESERVED area. WE did the dinner package." As if it were only available to him and his brood. I told him that we ALL did the dinner package but the CM needed to make room for everyone. He said they weren't moving and then had his boys sit lengthwise on the bleacher seat, so that no one could sit on the other side of them. The CM was young and just let it go, but I was so annoyed that I PRESSED myself SOCLOSE to this man, I might as well have been in his lap. He was so steamed and throughout the whole show, I kept going (VERY loudly) OOOOOOH!!! WOWWWW!! ISN'T THIS GREAT!!!!! I hope he had the garlic mashed potatoes with his dinner, like I had with mine, because I kept breathing ALL OVER HIM. My husband was dyin. It was our last night and that was the only annoyance on the entire trip. I hope he enjoyed his reserved seat.

We took my Mom to WDW 2 yrs ago and she peeved lots of people off everyday! She's disabled and was using an ECV. People at the bus stops were ticked because it took longer to load, one man even made a nasty comment about having to wait because of us People in the parks were the worst though, just plain nasty and rude. They acted like she was in their way. They acted like she was out to run them over They got annoyed about all the reserved handicapped seating, it went on and on. I really wish certain people could put themselves in the other person's shoes for a moment so they'd understand what is is like to be unable to do things like everyone else. Believe me, my Mom would love to have been able to walk and not have to rely upon an EVC.

 

[SleepyMom]

On our first trip to WDW I peeved a lady off and had no idea I did it or to this day do I know what exactly I did to peeve her off We were walking through Fantasyland and I was a bit ahead of my family (maybe 5 feet) and all of a sudden this woman just started yelling at me, she followed me for about 20 feet and just kept yelling. I stopped and my family joined me and none of us could figure out what her problem was She was still yelling as we walked away.

Last year DD and I were waiting in line to use the restroom, a long line. We finally get to the front and I sent DD into one of the stalls while I waited outside of it. Other stalls opened up and I told people they could go ahead of me that had been in line behind me. DD came out and I handed her the 2 cameras I was holding and the bag and I went into the stall. Some lady still in the line saw this and assumed I was cutting I guess, even though I had been waiting and let others go ahead of me, so she laid into my DD about rude people, etc... DD told me this as we were leaving, I waited around to say something back to her but never saw her again.

While at DCA we were waiting in a line to go into a show, there were maybe 200 people waiting behind this chain/rope thing and the CM opened one section of it. You know what that means, all of these people pressed towards this 4 foot open spot. We had been close to that spot before the CM opened it, but as soon as it was opened we were pushed towards it. DH and I were trying to protect DD from this mass of pressing people and got her almost to the open spot when this lady slams into DD and bent her over the chain, I put my hand up to stop this lady from further injuring my DD and she turns all nasty and says "there is room for everybody in there, stop pushing". I lost it on her and told her she was the one being pushy and that that she slammed a child into the chain in her rush to get in there, so if anyone should slow down it was her. DH was still helping DD stand up and she saw what she did, yet she wanted us to be the blame for her rudeness.

Probably several times. One woman at Epcot peeved me as much I must have peeved her. My son was going around the countries getting the little stamps and ornaments on his mask. At American adventure, he went up and took an empty spot at the table. There was a woman there with a big camera and saying something like "get out of my way", which is a paraphrase, not her actual words. Thinking that she was speaking to me, I backed up with my son's stroller, but she wasn't satisfied, saying "not you, him". So, apparently she wanted to take individual pictures of her darlings at the table without other kids at the table. I said something like "he won't break your lens, I promise". I saw her later complaining and pointing me out her husband. Well, excuse me. I didn't know that everybody got private time at the Kidcot stations. I thought that if there are six chairs at the station, six kids are allowed to work on their mask at the same time. She was probably the rudest person I have ever encountered as Disney on a personal level.

Then there was the time I was picking up my sleeping son from the stroller at MK at the stroller drop off. Somebody in a wheelchair was so close behind me that when I got up with my son, I nearly tripped over it. The ill-tempered virago with the person in the wheelchair said I should "watch where I am going". Well, I don't have eyes in the back of my head, now do I? Actually, in fact, I am functionally blind in my left eye, and I was holding my son on my right shoulder, so, really, I couldn't see them at all. I guess I am handicapped, too.

When my son was three, he was sort of fussy at the Hall of the Presidents, and one woman was really nasty to us. We actually were sitting in back close to the doors so we could leave, but, he was more restless but not noisy.

Oh, now why didn't I think of that when the lady in the wheelchair yelled at me?!?! I hate when I miss the obvious!

A friend and I were sitting on a bench watching the MGM streetmosphere performers. They pulled my friend out to be in the show. I stayed on the bench.

A woman comes up with a child and says "Is anyone in that seat?"

I said "That is my friend's seat, she's in the show right now."

The woman says "Well, then she doesn't need it" and starts pushing through.

I said "That is her seat, she'll be back over here in a minute."

The woman says "I have a child, I need to sit down."

I got up and gave her my seat. She said a few nasty things. I told her to shut up, she was disrupting the show. She objected. I told her I had more to say, but I wasn't going to say it in front of the child.

She sat in the seat with the child in her lap for about a minute until she decided the show wasn't to her liking, got up and left.

Actually, I think she ticked me off more than I ticked her off.

Some people got annoyed at DH and I on our honeymoon when we were at FOTLK. They wanted us to take off our bride and groom ears because after they sat behind us they couldn't see.

Well we did, but luckily a CM saw us before that. He called us over and gave us a no strings attached coupon. He said we could pick anything we wanted to do even front of the line access. I asked if we could be in the parade. He called, but it was too late for us to be in it. So he ended up giving us VIP seating for the parade. Then he told us to not take off our hats even if people said to. We went ahead and took them off, but I thought it was funny because the CM said not to.

I think I kinda embarrassed/irked a mom off waiting for the Storytime with Belle. We were in the front row at the left end of the middle section. There was a family with 2 girls about my girls ages next to us. The girls were running all over the stage and causing other kids to want to go running up there. My girls asked if we could and me not realizing the girls belonged to the parents next to us said something no they couldn't and i'm sure disney didn't appreciate the kids running all over the stage and just because those kids were misbehaving didn't mean my kids were allowed to. It didn't sound that bad but I guess to me I kinda went oops once I realized the 2 girls belonged to the mom sitting right next to me. She never said anything and I made a comment about loving the one girls hair. But still, I know she heard me.

 

[anewvance]

The pp reminded me of something. A few years ago we went to see Rosie O'Donnells show when she was at MGM studios. My sister and I wanted to wear something noticable so we bought those boingy headbands that have the two small glittery mickey heads on each side that are on springs. We were sitting and behind us we are tapped. The 2 ladies behind us very nastily told us to get rid of the headbands because they couldn't see. LMAO, they couldn't see behind two 2in mickey mouses? People all over the place are wearing big hats and mickey mouse ears and all.... my sister and I don't like confrontation so we took them off :-(

We tend to eat a lot of counter service food in the parks. One day we were in Cosmic Ray Cafe and My boys and I went and picked out a table while my hubby ordered.

Well, a family of six walked by and the Dad made a snide comment about "people sitting at the table with no food." I piped up to my oldest son that I was glad we had the intelligence and foresight to snag a table while his Dad was ordering....

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 do the same thing. And yes, it peeves people. But the fact they are smoking outside the smoking area peeves me. I have asthma, and an unexpected big old whiff of cigarette smoke can ruin my day.

when a guy asked me the wait time at Haunted Mansion, I told him 3 hours. He said "the sign says 20 mins." I looked up at the huge sign with the wait time, looked back at him, and said "20 mins." He then said, "thanks a lot, you derogatory term for someone named after a male donkey."

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!

This same thing happened on our last visit down the street from there, where there's a little platform. Two guys came and sat behind a standing crowd, and when the parade started, one started screaming at the standing people to sit down. Then, he stuck his head between two of them (they were adults with children) and stood there looking like an idiot. His friend looked really embarrassed. They apparently knew someone in the parade, so they were either locals, who should have known better, or CM's. Anyway, no one sat down that was standing, and the screaming guy got lots of weird looks and a few comments from the crowd.

One time, my sis and her kids were sitting on that bench that you were on, and the rest of us set up camp with our strollers in front of the bench, so we could sit and everybody could see. My sis's DH and MIL had gotten up from the bench to get some snacks, and some lady came up and asked if her child could sit there. When told her that those seats were already taken, she became nasty and angry.

Another time, a CM was training a new CM on a cash register, and she was very, very slow. The line backed up a long way, and it was really hot. The line next to us had a quicker student, but it rang up a different item. Anyway, I stepped out of line to the side of the counter and suggested that the trainer should ring some people until the line died down. Boy was she pissed. Hey, it only made sense to me.

Yep! There were 4 of us (adults) and we were watching the MNSSHP Parade. Me and my girlfriend were sitting on the curb in the front and there was a garbage can right behind me where my back was literally leaning against it. Well my BF and her husband were standing behind the garbage can.

Well after the parade this guy (who apparently was drinking b/c you could smell it on him) starts yelling at us saying how rude the guys were for standing there and that no one could see the parade b/c of them. Which was bull b/c there were many other people standing along side of them. Well anyway I was so mad this crazy lunatic started a fight with us that I turned around and said to him " Have a Magical Day" !!! The look on his face was priceless and my friends just started laughing.

hi
i peeved a c.m. at cosmic rays! i ordered a burger which i have had several times before there, when it arrived the bun looked as it had been soaked in oil and the burger itself was so cold it had congealed. he didnt believe me- so i invited someone to take a bite from the other side. their face was a picture and i recieved a complimentary meal!

 

[Tiffann4k]

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.

Wow I really hope your not an adult and that you were kidding. Yes the parents should of better controlled their child but you being an adult ( if you are) should not have acted like a 5 year old and caused this child to fall.....what would you of done if he would of smacked his face or head and needed stitches because you thought it was funny to purposly knock a kid down. Very pathetic and sad...and we wonder why some children are hell kids, when they have people setting examples like this its no wonder........

Edited to add that I cant believe no one else has commented on this(quoted post)...oh well guess I am just a loving parent and would hate to see my child(ren) hurt because of someone else being "funny" so flame away if you must, my children are more important than anyones opinions
