[darrylpan]

I have been a lurker on these boards for a long time but have to come out to respond to this TR. Your retalliation against the rude couple is priceless.I am taking copies and it is going to be part of my new life manual. I am going out tonight to my local Wallyworld to practice this technique.Great trip report, very entertaining. Cant wait for more.

Mel -

Brilliant as usual.

I would send a shout-out to the rudesters, but I'm just going to keep an eye on other trip reports for their grossly exaggerated version of why they aren't to blame for anything instead. But your response was priceless!

 

[Minnie]

OMG Mel - what a retort to those nasty rude peeps

My DM has shushed me so many times during well times like those. Can't wait for my next monorail jumping line cutting peeps to have a "wonderful" conversation with them. Quite the inspiration

I've got it all figured out:

"Hey since you cut in front and my DS is all by himself. Would you like to ride with him?? He ZZUB's all over during the spinning rides "

 

[NAB]

Too funny, rude people not a fastpass..
Great report.

 

[Kimberly815]

I can't wait to use the same tactic when my group gets split up by rude people! Brilliant!!

 

[PrincessAurora]

Great! The next time I run into rude seat stealing people I am soooo using the conversation tactic. That is brilliant.

Can't wait to hear about the latest Calvin debacle.

 

[offwegotoneverland]

This is really really funny...thanks so much for taking us all along. (and feel free to throw in any other random CDN jokes you'd like but us bankers are not all boring...DS says going to comunity events for Mommy's job is how we are going to get the "DVC BONUS" this year!)

 

[sheridac]

I get out our annual passes and hand them out. To everyone except Calvin. Because he can't handle it. We know from experience. He handles it as well as he handles money. He'll drop it, step on it, lose it, rip it or just give it away. As soon as humanly possible. So I hold mine and his.

I'm not thinking you're much better missy. You can't even hold onto your own murse!!

Sooooooooo... I turn to my new rude seatmates as the tram starts to move forwards, "Hey, since you just took my husband's place... why don't you take his place for the rest of the day? Ok? We'll join you and your wife for today. The whole day! It'll be fun. But we'll be needing LOTS of souveniers. We eat A LOT. And I have the Bird Flu. What are your names?" No answer. They stare straight ahead. The woman starts to redden a tiny bit. I continue, "Let's have lunch at Flame Tree BBQ. Ok? We love the Flame Tree!" That's when one of the two teenage boys beside us, who are now both grinning ear to ear, pipes up, "We love the Flame Tree too! Can we come too, Dude?" No answer. From Rude Dude. Or his sidekick. So I answer, "Sure! Why not? The more the merrier! Hey, you have a kleenex? No? Well, then, check out this black thing on my little guy's finger. Do you think that's a wart or just a fungus?" Still staring straight ahead. Wife is really red now. The tram pulled up to the front of the AK and those two practically FLEW OFF. They didn't even wait for it to come to a full and complete stop. Heh heh. We got off and, following directions, proceeded to move past the line on the ground before attemping to gather together in a group and set up the stoller. My new young teenage friends waved goodbye and Mellyman looked like he was about to have a real good day. Now.

That's awesome.

 

[LaLa]

Meeeeeeeelllllllllllllll!!!!

That was hilarious. I agree with Z. You're on fire with this one, Baby. Mama like. One little part made me giggle. A lot. I think. Love ya Woman.

 

[2xcited2slp]

aahhh, Miss Mel---take a bow (or a curtsie) for delivering once again a wonderous chapter.

Cannot wait to see if you run into Mr. and Mrs. Rudinski again throughout the day. I bet they stayed waaayyyy clear of Flame Tree in fear of the h.haunts waiting patiently for them. Better yet, they were probably looking over their shoulder the entire trip.
(no offense to anyone named any version of Rudinski)

 

[Lan]

Hurry up Mel with the next chapter. I can't wait to read more!

 

[MommyPoppins]

Awesome Mel! That happens to us EVERY TIME we have to take the tram at AK. Never at the other parks, ALWAYS at AK. One time DH got on first and they cut in front of me and the kids and I and all the kids had to find seating elsewhere, in two seperate rows. The other time he was left behind. I wish I had the nerve to be like you! That was great!

 

[Libade]

I agree with everyone else about how you handled the Rudynski's. WELL DONE!!!!

 

[HaleyB]

Hee hee, now we are all going to look for rude people to play with.

In WDW. On trams.

 

[burly]

Rude people...handled....the happyhaunt way. Priceless.

 

[DptyDogg]

I'll bet that was the longest ride of Mr. and Mrs. Seatstealer's vacation. WAY TO GO!!

I've been lurking, and heartily enjoying your TR. Keep 'em comin'

 

[tlinus]

What a truly brilliant trip report. I must go back and find another one you have done!

And being from Philly, where we are "known to be rude", I bow to you in your handling of the Rudesome-Twosome!!!

 

[kitsch4]

This is my very first post on the Disboards. Yay! I had to let you know how much I am love, love, loving your report. You crack me up. I told my DH that he's got to read it! Thanks for the laughs. I am looking forward to more!
