Disney Parks Pet Peeves!

[The Uh-Oa!]

What are your biggest Disney pet peeves? (This could be at the resorts, parks or transportation.) Maybe not necessarily things that can be helped or are the fault of Disney, just things that bug you.

1) Kids in the hot tubs. It seems even late at night they are so often overrun with kids they are no fun for adults, no matter what resort I'm at.

2) I know this may make me old fashioned, but men and older boys not offering their seats on buses to older ladies, pregnant moms or moms with little ones.

3) People being rude and demanding to cast members who are sincerely being helpful (but can't make the earth turn backwards no matter how hard they try).

4) People who hate on Disney even AT the Parks. They are usually ones who have not come willingly, it seems, but they complain and moan and let everyone in line know how much they are hating every minute.

Now that I think about it, all these things bother me even outside the Disney Parks!

Why start a negative thread vs a positive thread? Just wondering - I don't get the negative view of the world

My new pet peeve is now women and older girls not offering their seats on buses to older men or dads with little ones.

I have no such negative view of the world, I have posted probably 20+ posts today that were positive. But I thought surely everyone can relate to some of the frustrations...at least, based on many posts I see around here. It's all in good fun, and certainly nothing personal. Let me know if there is a ratio of positive to negative posts I should keep to.

If we only EVER posted positive posts and the podcast was never negative....well, both would get relatively boring pretty fast...

(I guess my new pet peeve is people who apparently have pet peeves against people who have pet peeves..... #inceptioned)

I get frustrated that I'm the only guy that ever gets up when I see someone that needs the seat more than me. But, I'm also tired of being the guy that rarely gets to sit down on the buses as well.

People who are walking in front of you and they come to a complete stop! Bless their little hearts! They're absolutely oblivious to anyone around them.

I will admit I have totally done that before without realizing it until it was too late....!

Littering, changing diapers on surfaces where people eat, line cutters, parents who don't watch their children, being plowed by strollers, people who ruin the magic in character lines, mean people.

People who get in front of you at a parade after you waited for the spot for hours, rude cm's(not often but they do exist), huge crowds

As an ECV user, let me tell you, this one is truly the WORST. ECVs are incapable of stopping on a dime, but if I hit somebody when they stop suddenly in front of me, I'm going to be the one blamed. And knowing this, I do my very best to follow at a safe distance, but in a throng of people (post-Wishes or Illuminations, or during the Osbourne Lights, etc), folks seem to have no issues at all with crowding into the safe space I've tried to leave between me and the person in front of me. It's extremely stressful because I absolutely do NOT want to accidentally hurt anybody, or be cited as one of those "awful ECV users" that people post about on these boards!

In a similar vein, I have lost track of the number of times people (both adults and children) have literally crossed right in front of me within inches of my on-coming ECV, as if I'm completely invisible, and I've had to try to stop suddenly to keep from hitting them. Again, had an accident occurred, I would have been blamed, even though they were the ones not paying any mind to their surroundings. So frustrating. As such, I've learned to be HYPER AWARE of the people around me in at WDW, since I know that so few of them are paying any mind to me... unless they get hurt.

I should also note that another pet peeve of mine are those "awful ECV users" that give the rest of us a bad name. The careless ones, oblivious ones, the dangerous ones. The ones who AREN'T concerned about the people around them, and do cause accidents. I see them in the parks and sometimes just think, "You're the problem, yet I'm the one getting the dirty looks! Not fair!"

Tour groups from another country that sing and make stupid noises so loud you cant have a normal conversation. So annoying....

Ipads during Wishes. Definitely not against anyone trying to photo/video. Just rough for the people behind
