Have you ever had a shock?

[vellamint]

I am a Corrections Officer and I have to carry a gun for my and my families safety because of some of the people that i have to come in contact with on the inside, i will also come in contact with in the outside. I am also on duty 24hrs. a day no matter where i am or what i am doing.

Okay now I am officially lost......how is this a shocking incident??? I am truly asking not trying to be rude-just wondering if a post got lost or what I missed in my reading.

I believe there was a post a few pages back about someone noticing a man carrying a gun at MGM, strapped to his leg (forgive me - i might be fuzzy on the details). i think this poster was responding to the comments about having a weapon in WDW.

Not to be the grammar police, but are we not teaching punctuation any school any longer? Things are much easier to read when a period is used occasionally. <dons flame retardant suit>

Ok - I think the 95 may be year of birth - I also have a child born in 95 so I think I can help (maybe):

They were having breakfast (princess) in Norway. The family before them was taking pics of a stuffed animal with the princesses. When it was the poster's turn, the dad of the other family took a picture of the poster. She does not want to be called a hypocrite because she took pics of her stuffed animal on a later trip.

I could be totally wrong, but I think this is pretty close!!

thanks

We had a shocking experience on our trip last month. On 1/12 we were at Blizzard Beach enjoying a wonderful warm and sunny day. While catching some rays next to the wave pool, a Portuguese speaking family sat down right next to us. All was grand until the young mother pulled out a pair of tweezers and proceeded to “pluck” her bikini line as she conversed with her husband and daughter!!! Last year while at Typhoon Lagoon, we had a lady sunbathing topless right in front of us, but as far as shocking goes, I think this year’s incident was worse.

Ok, can you please stop? That is starting to get annoying with the shorthand.

For real. Even with the attempted translation I still have no clue what the poster was trying to say.

That short talk makes my head hurt!!! (But I must add seeing LindsayDunn228's nice little pics of Josh do brighten my day! Love those, I married a Josh but I do adore this one too. Yum-mo!)

Tee hee, you're welcome Budbeerlady Isn't he a dish?

The smiley is shrugging because she could not understand you. Outside of a chatroom, you need to actually spell words in order for people to understand what you are saying.

I can't even imagine how shocking it was for you to see this , but i also can't imagine the pain of using tweezers to remove hair from this region. OUCH!

thanks

You are very welcome! You hang in there! I think it is great that there are kids out there trying very hard to be a part of our wonderful and accepting DIS community!! My DD10 has been wanting to get involved! Perhaps I'll direct her to the kid's board (is there one?). I'll tell her to look for you!


Now, back to topic! EEEww on the plucking the bikini line! We will be in the world in 26 days and I'm afraid I'll spend the whole trip looking for shocking things to post!

 

[brack]

I dont know yet. We are going in the morning but i am checking it out before we go because i am not really comfortable without it. Its hard to explain but its like if you wear a watch all the time and then you either forget it or loose it you feel out of place.

While I understand your feeling; unlike a watch there are some places that guns do not belong. Even in Oklahoma and Texas where concealed guns are legal there are places that they can not be taken. IMHO WDW is one of those type of places.

I think we made it thru our entires NY's vacation there with nothing shocking!!! Except possibly my 21 year old athletic son tripping on the cement sidewalk while running at the Dolphin. I guess he went flying & ended up ripping his knee wide open. And it probably wasn't all that funny except for the way he & his girlfriend described it!

i almost forgot this one! i went with my fiance and his family in August(i've mentioned that) and for his cousin's birthday we were going to the Whispering Canyon Cafe at the Fort Wilderness Lodge. now mind you i don't mind kids....but when i'm in a room with about 50 of them screaming their heads off i get a little aggrivated. anyway, so it started off pretty good we got drinks and ate dinner and watched his 21-year old cousin ride around on a horse on a stick singing "happy birthday to me"(we have this on film too! it's great!). earlier we had brought a cake for his birthday to the restaurant and they said they would keep it in their fridge until we were ready for it. well.......an hour and a half later we were all finished eating dinner and started wondering where the cake was. we asked one of the CM's and of course they came back and say "there's no cake back there!"....and all i'm thinking is "you've got to be kidding me!" so then another half hour goes by and yay! they found it! so we've been there for 2 hours now, and we finally finished the cake....and another hour passes and we still hadn't gotten a check. we were a big party and we had a few tables.....but we all had seperate bills.

at our table was myself, my fiance, his cousin, his mother, and his aunt. his cousin and his aunt were on one bill and the rest of us were on another bill. so then another half hour has passed and i'm really not having a good time anymore after spending 2 and a half hours listening to kids scream and bang their plates with things. finally my fiance's mother tells us it's ok we can leave and she'll pick up the tab when it finally comes. we finally left and i had such a headache. we went back to the cabins and i layed down for a bit. so it took us about 20 minutes to get to the cabins.....and 25 minutes after that my future MIL calls and tells us they FINALLY got their checks! so that was over 4 hours that they were there. it was so insane i couldn't believe how much of a hassle it was to get the check from that place.


another time we were eating at CRT and it had rained out earlier and was still a little cloudy out. we had gotten our menus and while i was looking at mine a drip of water fell right onto my menu. we were sitting right in the middle of the restuarant and i had no idea what it was so i ignored it......until 10 minutes later another drip fell on my hand. i thought maybe the roof was leaking from all of the rain earlier so i told our CM waitress and she said "oh no that's just the AC it's in the top of the building right above where you're sitting it drips like that all the time!".......is that even healthy!? i was glad that i had finished eating by the time she told me.

 

[LiLIrishChick63]

oh wait i remember another one! i'm on a roll here!


anyway my fiance and i were in line for the Snow White ride and there was a family(who didn't seem to speak any english) infront of us with 3 kids, a mom and a dad. the kids and the mother were fine, nothing to complain about them, but then i looked at the father........*shakes head* .....the man had a whole peice of luggage with him. i'm talking like your carry-on luggage bag. so anyway the guy kept leaving the bag behind when the line would move, and then a few minutes later remember that he left it back and then go all the way back through the line to get it and bring it back with him. this happened at least 4 times. it was aggrivating because you really couldn't move around this peice of luggage when the line moved so we were all stuck behind it until he'd remember to come back and get it. when we got up to get seated in the ride the CM told us to get in the car with the the luggage guy family......and i quietly pulled her aside and asked if we could get the next car. luckily she was nice enough to let us she just smiled and laughed and let us on the next car.

I haven't read this entire thread yet, but I'm sure glued to the computer! I had to post after reading about room cards being programmed with the same codes for different rooms. This happened to us, off-site at DL. A very nice hotel though.

DH and I were asleep in our room with DS2 and DS6months at the time. The baby was in a port-a-crib near the door, as that was the only space for it. DS2 was in the bed by the window, and DH and I were in the bed next to the crib. I don't know what time of night it was, but we were woken from a deep sleep by the door opening. Two men, obviously very drunk, walked in talking. Their hands were resting right on the crib, with the now crying baby in it. I was terrified, having no idea what was happening. Thank goodness DH went into protection mode, and jumped up, insisting they leave. Since they were so drunk, they were confused and insisted it was their room. DH just kept saying VERY firmly for them to just GET OUT and go back to the front desk. After a few minutes they did, with no incident. We called the front desk when they left and alerted them that someone was able to get into our room. When we checked out the next day we found out our room had been double booked, which is why they came to our room in the first place. It had never been marked on the computer as occupied. Since I was so tired, I remember at the time I was mostly annoyed that they had woken the baby (anyone with kids knows how hard it is to get kids that age all to sleep in a small hotel room!). In the morning however, I was very upset when what happened fully registered. Everything was fine, but considering how drunk the men were, I don't want to think about what potentially could have happened.

So it does happen. I think that's the most shocking thing to happen to us in particular.

Hubby and I were at AK, wandering through the oasis. We stopped to look at a couple of really cute little animals called Reeve's Muntjacs. We were standing there oohing and ahhing over the cute little muntjacs ("Oh, look how cute they are! They're just adorable!" etc. etc.). Suddenly one of the adorable muntjacs started looking really interested in the other adorable muntjac's hind quarters. We wondered if this was a prelude to a romantic moment between the two, when suddenly hubby realized that the one in front was peeing, and the other one was lapping it up before it hit the ground! Suddenly the muntjacs weren't so cute anymore.

Back in October when we were there something simular happened to us. We arrived very late into ASMo and were greated with a nice hello and happy anniversary, handed our keys to the kingdom and we were off to our room.

When we arrived to our room though things did not look right. There was garbage already in the garbage can, used cups laying around, and baby medicine on the bed. So we went back to the front desk to tell them that the room was used and that we would like a new one.

When we were at the front desk telling our story there was another couple up there that were visibly (and audibly) distraut and yelling at the cm about their room also. Suddenly they turned to us, after over hearing our conversation, and asked what room we had. We stated XXXX to which they replied "that was the same room that they were given and they noticed that the room was already used too!!".

In short Disney had TRIPLE booked this one room.

Yea TRIPLE Booked!

We remained calm throughout the entire ordeal and Disney comped us one night's stay and up graded our package. The other couple I think was transfered to the Poly (We did not want to go to the Poly as that it was near 1:30 am at this time).

With your story and my story, I wonder how often Disney makes the mistake of double or triple booking a room. Scary if you think about it!!
