Guests behaving badly (aka we need a round of pixie dust over here!)

[roadtripper]

Wow--
The shock thread is closed, and I was going to post there!
So I was in the Magic Kingdom yesterday, bopping into the Fast Pass line for Space Mountain, when this GANG of people (like 12 of them) climbs over the standby line into the fast pass line right in front of me. Bossy Me says, "Do you all have fast passes?" to which one guy says "Yes-- we have fast passes." So as we approach the point at the top of the ramp where you have to turn in your fast passes, they start RUNNING, like they're going to charge the poor CM! Instead, they duck back into the standby line, pushing right in front of the people waiting there. I should mention that it was a 70 minute wait. As one of the moms (yes, some were moms. One was definitely a grandfather of about 70 years old) is shoving her kid through the bars of the standby line, she says really quickly "We have to go to the bathroom!"
So the CM kinda shrugs as they push past him. I am fuming now, and I say "Nice job, cheaters!" (Y'know how you want to say something, but what comes out is not really funny or clever? This was one of those times.)
So they go left, I go right, and two minutes later, the lights come on, and Space Mountain is experiencing "technical difficulties". I like to think they had to catch a plane and never got to ride Space Mountain during their trip. Karma.

I would say the rude and inappropriate things I saw this vaction certainly topped anything I had ever seen. BTW I was wondering where the other thread went! In any event I'm thinking that the numbers of guests are just greater than they were for a while and now I'm seeing more because there are more people--in other words it is the same percentage of people behaving poorly, but since there are more people I'm seeing more. I think the one that took the prize for us was the guy peeing in the Epcot parking lot and then carrying an open container through the lot and on the tram, once we got off the tram I don't know what happened to him. I was most shocked because there were several attendants in the parking lot and no one said a thing. Unusual, well I found someone flossing on a park bench, the usual line cutters and tour group annoyances, bathing suits in restaurants, and no shoes in the park. Let's not even talk about the heely's or the usual parade faux pas.

The best one I have is last year on our Honeymoon, my DH & I were in line for 'It's a Small World' and the two teenage girls behind us were talking about how my husband had to be a child molester because I only looked 15 and he looked at least 30 and how they couldn't believe that some girls would do anything to get a free trip to anywhere and how my parents probably signed for us to get married, either that or we were 'SO TOTALLY faking it'... After listening to them for about 5 minutes (it took that long for me to hear the whole thing because it was riddled with 'you know?' 'like' and 'but yeah'), I turned around and said 'I'm 23, he's 25, we just got married and none of this is any of your business, but you two were soooo obnoxious during your little insult fest that I felt compelled to tell you both that you sound like complete idiots when you talk about people where they can hear you. Now, shouldn't you be running along to meet mommy?'

Normally, I would have let it go... But I was just tired of listening to it.

This reminds me of a story someone told on the boards. It didn't happen to me. They were eating at CRT, and the people nearby had an argument and were about to throw things. According to the poster, a bunch of CMs came over and removed them. Breaking rules doesn't pay.

1) Heely's
2) DD8 almost got knocked down in Crystal Palace by an older boy carrying a plate of food, during the thing where the kids follow the characters around. No food got on her though.
3)Inappropriate clothing in the theme parks, showing a little too much skin.
4) A man (about 35 ish) came up to a woman who was the last in the line with her teenage daughter, and said they almost knocked his kid over. He came running up and yelling at her. I didn't see it, but she really looked like she had no idea what he was talking about. He was strange, the CM followed him up to her and pulled him away (this was at Soarin). No further trouble.
5) 2 year old child running around with no shoes on main street with no shoes on.

I could go on and on. Last week was a three ring circus.

First of all, I just can't believe some people

Your story did make me laugh, though, because your comeback sounds like a Seinfeld moment!

I am fuming now, and I say "Nice job, cheaters!" (Y'know how you want to say something, but what comes out is not really funny or clever? This was one of those times.)

Little kids running around bumping into other people or just running out in front of someone else. I'm really sorry to say this but people need to control thier kids.

The big problem is that the only exam to get in WDW is financial if you have 50 dollars you are in. My first boss many years ago said it best, when you have a business that is open to the public you never know who is going to show up.

I am a HR professional and have heard and seen it all, so when I see ****** at WDW it does not phase me.
One would hope that they would check their craziness at the door, hope springs eternal, but don't hold your breath waiting.

That sounds like a good way to get a free meal Right before the check arrives start a big fight!! Who needs the free dining plan

I was at WDW last week and you aren't kidding! Some of the stuff we saw going on was mind boggling!!

My top story...

Leaving the AKL after having dinner there was family with 5 children sitting across from us. The bus was fairly empty and one of the kids (looked to be 5 or 6) was literally laying in the floor rolling up and down the bus. The driver repeatedly announced for parents to keep their kids seated, but these parents paid no attention whatsoever. The kid would get up and down, roll in the floor, climb back up in her seat and then do it again...over and over.

Finally she climbs back in her seat and I noticed then she had no shoes on. About that time she reached behind her back and pulled out one of her shoes...rubber flip flop style..really dirty shoes btw.

Then she proceeds to turn the shoe over and begin licking the sole from heel to toe over and over again. The thing was filthy and she was licking it like it was a lollipop. The parents never said a word to her...can you imagine the germs that must have been on the bottom of that shoe????? YUCK!

At least the kid you saw wasn't eating her shoes!

I don't know....Disney can be extremely cheap. On the boat to MGM, the guy talking to us that was in the seat also passed out from the heat. We told the boat driver and he ordered a wheelchair. They took out the guy's ticket and shoved it through the machine before going to the medical facilities in the park. I don't know if they got a free lunch.

Some of this stuff is amazing. I read some of the other posts from the other thread before, I couldn't believe the stuff that went on and I never saw any of it before. I certainly hope not to see it this time around either *knock on wood.*

The only thing I remember that happened to me was the little boy in line behind up continued to grab my backpack pull it back and push me forward, over and over.

Sounds like she might have a twinge of ADHD and it also sounds like her parents are so tired of having to deal with that kind of behavior that they think it's easier to let her do it than deal with a tantrum.

My GF and I were riding the bus to EPCOT one day and there were these 2 brothers around 8-10. They were just being loud and crazy. Then they started to play rock papper siccors about half way to EPCOT. They chanted "paper rock siccors" over and over again until we got to EPCOT. So they where doing it for about 10 minutes. I didnt really find it annoying it or anything. I thought it was pretty hilarious actually but Im sure some people got bothered by there game.

 

[DisneyLover1091]

This girl had one of those toy phones and she threw it across the bus! Than she started screaming really loud and it was getting really annoying. I realize that's it's WDW but please... it's supposed to be fun not a screaming safari.

That is the funniest story I've heard in a long time. Good for you for saying something! People who are that obnoxious get what's coming to them.

ps...Congrats on your new son!

but if they hadn't he would not have been able to get a fastpass when he recovered!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW I just finished eating dinner before reading that and I gagged! Shoe licking????? OMG I would have freaked out right there on the bus even if the kid was someone else's. Even if I managed to maintain my composure, my kids would freak out and I think my daughter would puke. I hope they won't still be there when we get there next week

I had posted on the closed shock thread about a boy on the monorail. He was just licking the window, and licking the window, and....... Mom just let him keep doing it. My dog has more sense than to lick a dirty window. 50 billion germs and the parents can't figure out why little Poindexter got sick.
