Have you ever had a shock?

[hookedup]

This thread is killing me!!!
I have two pee stories to tell and being the mom of a 3 year old son I have no tolerance for people who do stuff like this. I may have felt "inconvenienced" from time to time during my childs potty training but I could never imagine treating my sweet son the way I see some people treat their kids!! I want him to learn how to behave like a proper human being and grow up to be a gentleman!

Okay we were in line (and it was a pretty long one) and suddenly the couple in front of us were stopped moving, they had a boy about 4 years old and he was peeing in a coke bottle! My husband I and stood there in shock looking at each other not believing these people were actually doing this in line right in front of us. The grossest part was that the carried the pee filled bottle foe the next 20+ mins in line in front of us and even passed a trash can and didn't throw it out! Then they dumped it in trash can and kept the bottle! GROSS!

Last year a woman had her son (probably around 5-6 yrs old) pee off a bridge into the water below as we were walking by. Why can't people just take a few extra minutes and go to the bathroom? I don't understand it! Would they just pee in their living room out the window if they did not feel like walking to the bathroom?

Okay okay I'll shut up now!

LOL had a neighbor who would tell her son to pee in the yard (or other peoples yards) if he was outside instead of going inside.

OK completely off topci but this so reminds me of my grandparents. Up until the mid 60's or so they still had an out house. DGF wouldn't walk to it at night and would just pee off the end of the porch. Seems after yrs of doing this he was still in the habit after they got a toilet. DGM being the prankster she was, would wait until he was "mid stream" and turn the porch light on. By this time they had several neighbors within viewing distance and the road was no longer a one lane dirt road.

Case of blame the victim.

While exiting Dumbo holding the hand of my DD3, I was keeping my eye on DD 5 who was a few people ahead of me. A 7 yr girl directly in front of me stops abrubtly and opens her map - on the exit ramp! Of course, she is waist high to me and I crash right into her. The parents start yelling at ME in front of my children.

I completely ignore them but start lecturing my girls very loudly how if THEY ever were so rude I would make them apologize. I think they got the point.

This was the same time a man carrying a small child walked past all of the people and went under chains to cut everyone else off. It was so rude.

mk April 2002 during last day of middle school band competition, hubby and I there on honeymoon and got harassed by a 14 yr old boy during obnoxious and taking pictures of strangers and getting into peoples face flashing the camera trying to blind people. well this kid did it twice to dh and both times we complained to a cm. well on our way to monarail the kid decides to try one more time and hubby tells him "leave us alone" so he decides to try to get me,when i walk by the boy grabs my shirt and my bra strap trying to stop me, and my hubby yells '' let her go" meanwhile the chaperone is laughing at this kid. The kid laughs and takes a picture of hubby yelling at him. well dh is really po and grabs the kids camera and throws it in the trash. well the chaperone gets mad at dh and starts screaming at my dh. Meanwhile a sercurity guys comes over and asked dh if there is a problem. I explain that what happened and was told that they had complants all weekend and had warned him twice and
finally took his ticket away in front of us. I felt kinda bad but after hearing how many people complained (25+) he got what he deserved

Don't have a story about bodily functions but do have one about how rude people can be......and how immature I can be....even at 40+ when I get mad (blame it on the red hair).

DH and I went three years ago for Thanksgiving. He had just had pretty serious back surgery in early October so we were being cautious about rides, standing too long, etc. He rents an ECV when going through the parks. Now if you looked at DH and I, you would assume that I am the unhealthy one (okay so I need to lose a 'few' pounds) and DH weighs about 140 on a good day.

We planned TG dinner so that we could have a nice, enjoyable feast at the CG. It was CROWDED and we had to wait awhile. We snagged one seat at the bar so DH could sit down and waited patiently for a second seat. Two seats...two people....eventually. DH went to the men's room and I had to guard his seat with my life! A young woman (about 25) walked up next to the seat and ordered drinks and then just stood there....for a while. DH comes up behind her and says 'excuse me..that's my seat..she ignores him (or doesn't hear him) and I say excuse me...that's my husbands seat. She gives me a dirty look and starts to walk away....DH begins to sit down and this woman comes back and starts berating us about how its a holiday and people should be nice and whatever happended to men giving up seats and where are our manners. Now, I could understand if we had been nasty that she may react like this but, you know, we really were not. I've only seen DH get nasty mad twice in 21 years! We were shocked but we chalked it up to the situation and went to our table, etc.

I would have left it at that if I hadn't seen her in the ladies room. We just happened to end up at the sink at the same time and I said to her that sometimes you don't know what other peoples' circumstances were and that my husband had surgery, etc. She basically told me to go &^%* myself and join Jenny Craig. Okay, I snapped....I admit it....and it got ugly. I am of French and Irish descent and while most of the time, I control my temper....I lost it and screeched at her like a fishwife. At one point I asked her how much she paid for the flotation devices on her chest. Good thing we weren't on the catwalk, I would have pushed her over and seen if they helped her to fly.

So, if you were there and witnessed my unladylike behavior....I apologize. But it just goes to show you that even someone who normally prides herself on her civility and manners, can be pushed into bad behavior. I've felt bad about it ever since. Hadn't had much to drink, but just got defensive about DH and his handicap....hate to think what people with real handicaps have to put up with every day!

 

[Grog]

I've felt bad about it ever since.

Don't. It sounds like she deserved everything you said and more. You tried to explain and Heidi....err, Jenna....err, whatshername decided to crank it up a notch. She brought it on herself.

On our second day we were leaving the parks an I stopped off at the restrooms at the TTC. There was a rough looking (hair to his waist and beard to mid chest) guy yelling at a little girl who was 4-5 years old. He was mad at her because she had to go to the restroom. He finally yells at her to go into the bathroom and go. Both the little girl and I were using the potty when she starts to yell for him to come help her. I thought I was going to die. I'm sitting there thinking. "Please tell me that scary man isn't coming into the ladies restroom." He came in alright. I froze. He yelled at and berated the poor little girl the entire time he was helping her. Sounds crazy but since I was the only grown woman in there I was scared. He seemed very irrational. (Hey, not every normal guy walks into a ladies restroom.) I slipped out of there and told a young male CM that there was a man in the ladies bathroom and I thought it might be helpful if someone informed him about companion restrooms. I had this funny feeling nothing would ever be said to the weird guy.

Not disney related, but my new shock of the day. A very odd thing happened to my mother and I today at the Walmart in Lynn, MA. Actually it happened to all people in the store unless they were deaf. Around 3:30 - 4pm someone came over the intercom and in a very unhappy voice said," will Lorraine please get off the SH---er" (think Crapper but worse) Now the first time I thought it may have been my ears or a mistake with the intercom, but they repeated this statement using the womans last name as well. Now I don't think this was very appropriate for anyone to do over an intercom. It was hard for the woman in front of me to try to explain to small kids what a "Sh---er" entails. .

After reading all 13 pages of this thread, I would have to say that this is the most twistedly amusing thread I've read on the DIS. I liiiike it! hehe I say, keep them coming. And yes! People are WEIRD!

Fortunately I've never witnessed anything shocking when I've visited WDW. Just the usual line-cutting and rude people, but nothing out of control.

I must say that DH and I absolutely hate parents who think they can use strollers like snow plows and just plow through people in their way. All most people need is a polite "excuse me, can we get through please?", not a good whack in the legs! DH and I also hate people who stop in the worst areas with the most traffic. And they just decide to stand and talk or read their map in the middle. Walk off to the side people!

I must admit that DH did have to resort to a little bit more than usual force once. We had DD in a stroller and were stuck behind a group of obnoxious preteens who were moving slower than slugs. We said "Excuse us" politely and loudly several times, but they just looked back at us and then ignored us even though they saw we have a baby in a stroller! Well DH finally goes "that's it!" and walks the stroller right into one of the girls' ankles in front of us. She looks bad, and DH gives his sweetest smile and say "oh, so sorry! Excuse us!" The group parts and lets us through.... I couldn't help but laugh! Some people... you practically have to knock the sense into them!!!

Saw a curious Dad at Epcot, right by the fountain, in front of everyone, taking a peek down the back of his ~3yo son's pants....pulling them away from the crack in his butt and taking a peek (and maybe a sniff???) to see what was down there. Kid was oblivious. Would have made a great picture.

 

[SuprGro78]

Speaking of photo ops. Have you ever taken a photo and when you got it back the stuff in the background suprised you? Some people get hidden mickey photos, not me. I took a pic of my parents on a river rapids ride (I think it was busch gardens) and when I got it back the people in the seats next to them were getting up, but the man was accidentaly (I hope) giving us the finger. I think it was just the way he picked up his coat. Very weird.

All this peeing in bottles and bushes has me thinking. Maybe some (probably not all) of these people are foreign? My best friend is German and she tells her kids to pee in the yard if they don't want to go inside. She says it is normal for people to pee in public, in the streets, in Germany. Just a thought.

I had to add my own note about pictures.
When I was on my Disney Cruise in March, We were on the St. John's Island tour and wanted to take a picture of our group. We had asked this one lady nearby, Could you move a bit so we can take a picture??, Not only did she not move, but she posed and smiled for our group picture. Cracked me up when I saw it although I cropped her out.

We were at the smaller pool at Fort Wilderness a couple of weeks ago and it was glorious. Almost had it to ourselves! There was just one other family there. Then these two women came in and looked like they were going to be lounging by the pool. OK. Thats what you do at pools. Then it was like dueling cell phones. First one would ring, then the other. Was that yours or mine? These weren't the "Where are you guys now?" call. They were doing business. We could tell you everything about them. The one was especially awful going into detail about her meeting and upcoming business trip and blah blah blah. My husband and I thought it was rude. ... AND then...

my DD who is 6 had a big old dragonfly land on her rear end as we were drying off to leave the boardroom. Well even though I had already prepared her with Safari Steve's dragonflys are our friend speech several times, she completely started freaking out. Quite loudly. Am sure the boardroom heard it all. Those two business women took off before the dragonfly left its perch!

They looked very inconveinced...I mean who excepted to see and hear children at a pool at Fort Wilderness in Disneyworld for goodness sakes!

There I feel better now.

Actually, tell your daughter her timing was perfect! I think it would have been hilarious if you started freaking out too, just to add to the charm of the whole situation. I'm sorry, but if you have business to conduct, go to your hotel room!

Last Friday we checked out of the BWV and checked into the ASMo for 1 night (it was a shock to our system ). There must have been some sort of tour group there... Well, while watching our DSs run through the fountains outside of the Love Bug hotel, DH elbows me and points across to the Fantasia building. There were 2 teenage girls (15 or 16) stripping down to string bikinis and posing playboy like while they each took pictures of the other. We just started laughing, what else could we do!!

A shocking story but in a different way....

Last summer while in Epcot, my 13 year old DS was goofing around on the wet sidewalk in World Showcase. Because of the rain, he slipped and cut open an already scabbed up knee ( a result of sliding into second base!). We were "shocked" at the number of people who stopped to see if we needed band-aids, wet wipes, kleenex, etc....there really are some nice normal people at WDW!!

Classic "checking for poop" action there. LOL

LOL...I'm willing to bet they weren't supposed to be conducting their business from pool side and almost got busted
