Have you ever had a shock?

This is true. In Japan public urination is not frowned upon. These tourists may not know that it is taboo here.

Classic "checking for poop" action there. LOL

I am guilty of that one! I always check my youngest son by peaking down the back of his diaper.

I'll take a singing Brazillian tour group anyday

I dunno what's going on, but I am sitting here rolling on the floor laughing when I read some of these!

Some of them are so freaking ridiculous!

The only thing I remember from our trip to WDW in January was when we were going to see Fantasmic. Well there was some lady in one of those hoking, SUV-size electric wheel chairs. I understand you need to accomadate these people, but good Lord some of them are so ridiculous huge. Well anyways this lady in this monster truck was just carting through like Moses parting the Red Sea. Never mind the fact that there were people EVERYWHERE and no one could move.

Yesterday, I was entering Epcot via the International Gateway when I saw a dad with a stroller exiting the park. He was coming toward me when his mister/fan bottle fell off of the stroller & smashed on the ground, the batteries rolling around & the fan blades broken. He turned to get it & when he saw that it was broken, he turned back around & kept walking, leaving the mess in a heavy stream of traffic. I bet he flings trash out his car window also! A nice lady stopped & picked it up & threw it out.

I've been reading every word of this thread, sometimes rolling with laughter, sometimes sick to my stomach. But enjoying it nonetheless. But I couldn't recall any shocking experiences I had to the World. Well the recent post by Satine brought it all back to me. I was at the World by myself and had spent the evening at PI in the AC. I got on the bus back to Port Orleans Riverside around 1 am. I was tired, I was grungy from having been in the parks all day, and I just wanted to get home. Well we're waiting until it's time for the bus to leave, and this girl behind me on the bus starts saying to me "I know you!! I know you!" Turns out she was extremely drunk and thought I had been her waitress that evening at Planet Hollywood. So I start talking to her the guy with her, who appears sober. Turns out it was her 21st birthday and I made a comment that a friend of mine's younger brother had turned 21 the same day. So as we're talking (and by talking I mean drunken slurring on her part) she starts to say things like "You're really hot. I think you're really hot." Now while I normally like compliments, I thought this was odd, but she was drunk, so whatever. But she keeps up in this vein. Well she takes it to the next level and since this is a family friendly place I'll leave out the gory details and just say that she made it extremely clear that she was "interested" in me. I make no judgement on alternative lifestyles, but as I am heterosexual, I just nicely stated that I was flattered but I wasn't interested (and for the record, if she had been a guy I would have slugged her. You don't talk that way to someone you just met!). Now I had originally assumed that the guy with her was her boyfriend, but after this episode I assumed he was a friend, and he seemed really embarassed by her. Luckily we were half way to the resort because she started saying she didn't feel good and she was going to be sick, so he pushed her to another seat. So then he starts talking to me. I asked him how they knew each other and he said "We're married." Um, okay. And then he says "Well I'm just going to throw her in the room and let her pass out, but I'm not going to bed yet, so if you want to meet me down at the pool, that's where I'll be."

So my shock at WDW is being hit on by a married couple. I wouldn't have been as shocked if I were in Vegas or something. But this is Disney! It's supposed to be wholesome!

I'll add to my tale:

I was in line for the first show at Comedy Warehouse and the guy behind me in line was a dead ringer for Oz on Buffy.I made a joke about it and he compared me to Tara.I could tell he was having fun and he made no moves toward me but bought me a coke during the show.It turns out he was my age and we hopped from club to lcub for the night,it was fun and he just was one of the guys who makes being hit on fun

Well I've read many of these stories and though this did not happen at wdw it"s probably the most shocking thing I or my dw has ever seen.

About 17 years ago my wife and I were at the Illinois state fair, at a concert, and this large young mom came and sat in front of us with a toddler and another child about 4. The children were really tired and she kept trying to get the toddler to nurse(shirt wide open). I guess the pressure became too great so she pulled out a gal. milk jug, which was about half full and proceeded to milk herself, into the jug.

Wait! It gets worse. She sat there for awhile and tried to enjoy the show, but the children were getting pretty cranky. After she gathered he stuff to leave, she tried, with no success, to get the kids to drink from the milk jug.

Now here's the real shocking part.

She turn up the jug and had a drink for herself.

Left the jug on the floor and was gone.

My wife and I looked at each other in total shock.

Please don't flame me, I just had to write this. I do feel sorry for those kids at wdw whose parents are mad about being there and take it out on their children. You know what I mean.

Ok I've spent part of the day reading this thread and having a laugh at some of the shocking things -- and cringing about the yelling and abusive parents. I couldn't remember anything shocking until it came to me. It was on the Land Ride. A couple with a little girl about 3 or so were getting off the boat. They stopped and had the little girl pee into a cup which they then put down on the ground and just walked away. I couldn't believe it -- there are restrooms everywhere and just steps away. A CM saw them and removed the cup but it was shocking.

WHY would someone DO something like that.

What kind of people RAISE humans to ACT like that?!?!?

I'm sorry...but we are a civilized race. One should only "pee in the woods" when they are in fact lost in the woods. (ok - but I do like the guys peeing on the side of the turnpike - I'm the one who likes to honk at you as I drive by! hehehe)

I just don't understand why some people do these things...thank god I was raised right...and will raise my future children the same...with dignity and respect for others!

sorry...my 2 cents.

Great thread....

With the amount of people that push through WDW, its no surprise that we see all kinds of people doing all kinds of things...

My two stories...

My fiance and i were walking near the Boardwalk Hotel one night when about 3 or 4 women in one of those 4 person bicycles came roaring by. They were riding on the sidewalk or somewhere that was prohibted (at least according to the signs posted). They were all in their 40's, and dang near ran us over. My fiance, never at a loss for words, yelled something to the effect of "you're not supposed to be riding here!". One woman retorted "wasn't that the girl we used to beat up in high school?" My fiance yelled back "no you're much too old for that!". I almost peed my pants from laughing...the women clearly heard it though...

Second, my brother in law was at the hot tub at the contemporary one night, when he was joined by two women and a guy. They start talking and the girls start grabbing each other and taking each other's clothes off. They started to make out! My brother in law became very uncomfortable, and, after declining a couple of invitations for him to join in, he left.

A year later, when he was back in the exact same hottub, almost exactly the same thing happened with two different girls! I swear I am not making this up!!!!

Most shocking thing last June at Downtown Disney.

My Dh is walking towards me and our 2 little girls. As he approaches us, he smiles at us. Well, a girl (early to mid-20s) walking in front of me apparently thought he was smiling at her, so she makes a U-turn, walks up behind him, and gives him a good squeeze on the tushie. Never says a word, just does it and walks away.

The look of utter disbelief on his face was priceless! He still talks about how he was hit on at WDW!

 

[Scoobmuzic]

WOW all this talk about PI and DTD just jogged my memory again for yet another shocking MEAN parent episode.

As my boyfriend and I were walking through the West Side near the Joke shop, there was a little girl about 6 yrs old merrily skipping along, with her parents about 3 steps behind her. Well I guess they thought they were being funny and the Dad takes the Mom by the arm and pulls her off to the side with a shhh motion. The little girl stopped, looked around and couldn't find her parents. The look of pure terror on her poor little face was heartbreaking! They then stepped out from the side laughing.

Of course she is now crying histericaly. Some people!! That was soooooo mean!

Then at PI, there are all the amature drinkers out there. We were walking with two friends to the Jazz Club when one of our friends pulls my boyfriend aside and says "look at this kid" he points to this kid, (maybe 21.... could have been younger) just puking all over himself by some bushes, he had wayyyyy to much to drink. Of course he still has his beer in his hand.

 

[mitros]

I was just wondering, what is an amateur drinker ? Do you mean as opposed to a professional drinker? And if so ,would a professional drinker drink a ton of alchohol and not puke? Just curious.

It only goes to show how just how attractive True Love really is. The girl saw your DH's face light up with love for the most precious people in his life and wished it was for her. Great post Imelda in TX!

Hmmm I don't recall seeing Morticia's post about kidnapping in this thread... guess I missed it. While it does sound like some urban legend, I personally have a friend who works security at DL. According to him, and much of what I've read, kidnapping is no laughing matter at DL. (or anywhere else for that matter.) Another friend of ours had their daughter abducted at DL so please forgive me if I find your comments in very poor taste. I understand that you probably didn't mean anything by it, so no lasting offense taken.

And yes, her clothing was changed, her hair cut and dyed. Not red, but dark brown. They are still traumatized by the event, though their daughter was recovered at the exit to DL by some very dedicated security people.

Unfortunately, DL is in fact one of the kidnapping capitals of the world. It is not a place where parents can drop their guard and let their kids run around unsupervised and unguarded. It is irresponsible and unkind to give parents a false sense of safety, when the consequences are so grave.

Respectfully,

Darian

 

[Pkdcoastrs]

That is amazing in the most odd and messed up way ever. I don't want to believe what you said but I guess I have to because that's not a matter to joke on. I read what I posted in one of those unofficial books that most people read, Mouse Tales'ish.....

Yea, wow.

Sorry, Darian, but I'm calling you on this. All these stories do is frighten people and serve no purpose:
http://www.urbanlegends.com/ulz/sams.html
http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/weekly/aa082599.htm
http://www.snopes.com/horrors/parental/kidnap.htm

This type of tale that has been circulating for decades, always involving the kidnapping of children from family-type public places such as amusement parks and shopping centers. A kidnapper snatches a child away from an inattentive parent, drugs it, and hustles it into a restroom; there the abductor performs a quick haircut, dye job, and clothing change on the child to conceal its identity (and sometimes to obscure its gender) and wraps it in blankets before attemping to quickly and quietly spirit the child off the premises. Meanwhile, a vigilant security force has sealed off all the exits, and the attempted kidnapping is thwarted either because the kidnapper realizes he cannot escape undetected and simply abandons his intended victim in the bathroom, or because the child's parent is monitoring the exits (in person or via security cameras) and recognizes the child by its distinctive shoes, which the kidnapper has neglected to change or remove.

The tale of the "haircut-and-dye-job" kidnappers goes back several decades and is tied to the growth of cities, the movement away from rural areas and small towns, and the increase in the crime rate that occurred in America after World War II.

Over the years, this story has been set in virtually every type of locale where families gather with large numbers of strangers, such as shopping malls, beaches, carnivals, fairs, and amusement parks. Since the details of urban legends tend to localize on the most prominent examples of their kind, this legend has become more and more associated with places such as Disney theme parks and Wal-Mart stores, both examples of well-known large facilities frequented by families with children, and both part of huge corporate enterprises. (In truth, no child has ever been kidnapped from a Disney theme park, and although the abduction and murder of 6-year-old Adam Walsh led Wal-Mart to create their Code Adam protocol for locating missing children in their stores, Adam Walsh actually disappeared from a Sears outlet, and no evidence was found to indicate that the abductor had made an effort to alter Adam's appearance.)
