Have you ever had a shock?

Thanks for the laugh Darian, this thread was needing it!

As Marlon Brando once said: "the horror... the horror."

It all began innocently enough in the line for the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. There was this short skinny woman with her short and skinny son about 8 people ahead of DW and me in line. Judging from their extreem accent they seemed to be from Kentucky or (not to offend) some hill-billy town nearby. I was tempted to say New Jersey, but those folks have suffered enough at the hands of this board. Heheheh.

Well I've got no beef with Kentucky, as my sister was born there. But suddenly this woman breaks wind loud and long. Then she looks around to see if anyone heard her. About 35 thousand people did, but we all pretended nothing had happened. Just trying to be polite. Well, her outgassing wasn't just loud, it stank horribly, like dead things and worse. Unknown to us at the time, this "blowing of the horn" was just the beginning of our suffering.

Soon we were in the Mansion itself. The door closed to the stretching room and BAM she lets loose again. Trapped like rats we had no escape from her gas. This time the stench was even worse. After an eternity of holding my breath the doors finally open to fresh air. As the woman and her kid walk past the paintings, she let loose again so our respit from the torment was short lived.

Finally we were seated in our Doom buggies and were thinking we were finally free of our outgassing companion. Though she was 3 buggies ahead of us she passed gas non-stop through the entire ride, defiling every room, every scene-even the graveyard wasn't large enough to dissipate the concentrated vile stench. All the time I'm wondering how such a small body could hold so much gas and what sort of person could produce such potent and terrible odors that could fill an entire attraction.

Poor DW was covering her face and having dry heaves, while I was just limp, nauseous and practically semicouncious from the airborne poisons.

Finally the ride was over and DW & I staggered from our doom buggy out onto the moving walkway. Our classy fellow rider left another "air mine" as she and her sone ran up the rubber escalator leading out of the attraction.

I have never been so shocked, so sickened and so nauseated by anything else at Disney. This even beat the stripper we saw trying to pose topless on the drawbridge into Sleeping Beauty's castle. The horror... the horror....

GROSS, GROSS, GROSS!!! Does Stephen King's movie/book, Dreamcatcher, come to anyone's mind!????!!??

After this thread the only way I would be shocked in WDW would be for a family from New Jersey to be all in ECVs holding onto their kid's leashes while driving the ECVs into the back of my leg. Then one of the kids would have to pee on my leg. Then the Mom would have to get out of her ECV and walk briskly over to me to curse me out for being in their kid's line of fire. Then she would need to run back to her ECV where she would finish breastfeeding her baby while driving down the middle of Main street. While all this is going on, the Dad would be slapping their other children.

Loved this, and it reminded me of another shock. I was in the Baby Care Center on Main Street at DL, nursing my five month old daughter. The lady next to me was sitting on a chair, so her chest was about four feet from the ground. Her son walks over and BITES her on the breast and says, "I want the ****y!" He had to be about 6 or 7, because he was tall enough to bite her while she was sitting on the chair. Then he whips up her shirt and starts nursing! I guess the age you wean your kids is pretty personal (so any La Leche moms out there, don't flame me), but this kid was not just big, he was downright rude. When I got outside, I pointed the family out to my DH and said, "You're never going to believe this..."

Also, at Discovery Island (so you know that was years ago) I saw a mom balance her toddler on the fence over the alligator pit. I guess she's never been to Gatorland and seen how high those things can jump.

When they are old enough to undo your bra, maybe it's time to start thinking about weaning!

Ridiculous!

Just a thought . . . a child stops breastfeeding at 7. There are children having sex at age 10 and 11 in some cases. (There's a pregnant 6th grader in one school in my district) so there could potentially be only a three year gap between infancy (behavior wise) and adulthood (again behavior wise). We wonder why kids are messed up.

I've got a shock to go along with the stenches.....

My grandpa is a shrimp conissuer! He LOVES his shrimp!! One night while in the World we dined at Ohana. Well, when the word got to him about shrimp being there, bygod he wanted nothing but those little critters!
We sit down at our table, and order drinks. Once the drinks come, Grandpa pipes in, "Am I going to be getting some shrimp soon? This old man likes his shrimp!" Our Cousin replies "Oh sure! Not a problem, they'll be right out for you!" Little did he know how many times he'd be asked that!
6 dishes of shrimp later (4 that my grandpa ate all to himself (not kidding) along with a small amount of salad one chunk of beef and multiple cokes) we are on a bus to do some late night DTD shopping. Well, we get off the bus and grandpa says he needs to find a bathroom... quick!
Grandpa has had a few incidents where he didn't quite make it to the bathroom intime, so we decide not to risk sending him through RFC. On to the bathrooms by the Christmas shop. About half way there, grandpa says, "Bill (my dad) I've lost control."
A few seconds later the stench tells us what has lost the control. He goes to the bathroom to clean out socks, pants, shoes, etc. and refuses to let us by him some shorts in DTD. Mind you this lingering aroma has just about knocked some bypassers out cold.
We still have to take a 15 minute ride back to our vacation home in Kissimmee.
11:00 p.m. 55 degree weather, windows down, stop n go traffic (no flow of air, yet we manage to freeze) all the way home.
The catch? Grandpa couldn't smell the foul aroma we did!
What a night....!

 

[a*lil*bit*goofy]

is it bad that i am giggling about poor grandpa???
poop happens! poor guy. the whole "bill, I lost control" is just cracking me up! LOL

I don't know why these things keep coming back to me. When we were at WDW a few weeks ago I really didn't think I had seen anything that shocking but as time goes by I realize that a lot of what I shook off was shocking because it happened at WDW. Most anywhere else I might have shaken my head but just chalked it up to expected behavior for that locale.
The latest to pop back into my head needs a tip o' the old hat to Darian for his comment on the stripper on the drawerbridge. On Sunday 4/30 my DD was in line with my DGS to meet Pinnochio and Geppetto outside Tony's Town Square restaurant when a teen girl [16-18] whips off her top and wraps herself around the statue of Goofy on the bench that is right there. There she is in sparkling white short shorts and a very tight sports bar type top, smiling for her freinds who are snapping pictures and encouraging her.

Yeah for real.

We were in a very long line for Space Mountain last December, when I turned around and saw my first bra with fingers attached to them. A older man and his wife (I assume) were in line behind us, with the man having his hands under the womens shirt messaging her breast. This lasted for the complete 45 minutes it took to make it through the line. I know as my wife and I and the couples around us counted the minutes. The couple seemed to be a little happier then they probably should have been. I think that once they got on the ride, the man had to put his hands on the bar instead of his wife.

That explains the rumors I've heard that the "stretching room" has been renamed the "stenching room".

Oh my!

But what kind of a message was he sending her breast?

Sorry, I'm not ususally one to point out typos, but this one was so funny. It's a new kind of communication method. Breast messaging instead of text messaging.

Last week we were at Turtle Talk, and a little girl (who looked maybe 2) in the audience was screaming and crying and begging to be taken out. When Crush appeared, she screamed even more. Crush said "Hey, dude, your little one doesn't really want to be here. I think you should take her out." or something similar. Well, the girl's father (who had been ignoring her screams up until now) begins YELLING at Crush (note to parents: when you find yourself yelling at animated characters, things are not going well) that he had already had a fight with Disney, he wanted to leave but they wouldn't give him his money back, and he wasn't going until he got his money back.

Some of the other guests told him that he was being a terrible father and he yelled at them too. Crush said "You need to chill out, dude." and tried to go on with the show. The poor little girl continued to cry (I'm sure having her father yelling at everyone hadn't done much to enhance her Disney experience.) I heard him saying to her, as she begged to leave, "We'll go when someone from Disney gives Daddy his money back."

Finally security arrived and the man and daughter were removed. The entire audience cheered. But I felt so bad for that little girl. I really hope security called children's services to meet them as they escorted that guy out of the park.

Wow.
That mental picture is hysterically funny to me...yet very sad, too. I don't think this is the kind "interaction" the imagineers had in mind. When you become so enraged you start yelling at a cartoon and become part of the show--you need some help. Wouldn't you feel somewhat embarassed that the whole theater of people and one turtle are asking you to chill out?

Well, I guess that's one way to save on drinks in the parks....

Ok, my post a couple of pages ago was meant to be funny. I threw in the NJ part because some person had complained about NJ and I wanted to flame them. LOL, I am from NJ! I should have added the part about pool hopping, reusing mugs, double burgers, etc.

Darian and the Grandpa story had me laughing hard.

When I was staying at All-Star Music last month we kept encountering entire groups of teenage cheerleaders dressed in nothing but sports bras & shorts so small they looked like boy-short style underwear. Part of me really wanted to say to them, "I know you are at your hotel, but couldn't you put some clothes on when you come to the food court?"

BTW, off topic, has anyone seen Farscape?

Hey Morticia - I am a big Farscape fan!

We had a shock yesterday at Epcot. It was funny, because the whole weekend we kept saying "wow, no shockers this trip!". Well, sure enough, we got one! We were walking through Epcot and came across one of the areas with the water shooting out of the ground for little ones to play in. As we walked by, we noticed a butt-naked little one, probably about 20 mos old. No big deal, we figured his mom was changing him out of his wet clothes or something. Wrong! As we continued by, the mom laid him straight down on the concrete (butt-naked might I remind you) and proceded to diaper him up! Now, call me neurotic, call me what you may, but laying down a little naked guy on the dirty, pebbly concrete to diaper him is not ok in my book. Poor little guy probably had a butt full of floor scraps!
