Have you ever had a shock?

Place: Haunted Mansion queue

Here we are!!! The first day or our trip and our first attaction. We always go to MK on our arrival day and HM is the first attraction. So, there we are, standing line. I see a girl in a group right in front of us. She is in the 17 to 19 year old age group. She is wearing a mini skirt. About an inch below the hem of her skirt, I see here holding on to a white strip of some kind. I'm not sure what I'm seeing. So, I continue to look. Then, I realize what it is. I look at DH and give him the eye signal to check out this person. He looks at her. He looks at me. We look at her. And then it happens. She actually removes here underwear while standing in the HM line.

I couldn't believe what I just witnessed. I actually had something to post to the "shock" thread.

Now, this was a very short skirt she was wearing. I imagine that this would lead to an unsanitary condition in her doom buggy. 'Nuff said.

If you want to start a shock at the mall, etc., do it on the community board.....you can post about all sorts of stuff there. In fact, if I wasn't signing off now, I'd start one myself!

Well, I started one, but I am such a "thread-killer" over there it probably won't last until morning.

Only made it thru the first 14 pages of this thread...WOW! I can't believe how some folks act! Two annoying things at WDW... Since my DSis is in a wheelchair, we had handicapped seating at Fantasmic, in the back of the stadium. It was a pretty crowded night, and during the show some guy stood his young daughter ON my sister's shoulders! He was very offended when BIL asked him to remove his daughter from Sis's body! Other shocker is related to the sunburned babies theme. While at MNSSHP in Oct 2003, the number of kids in heavy fleece costumes was amazing. Think full head covering and foot covering, dressed like Care Bears, Pooh, Beast, etc. Very cute but not at all appropriate for eighty degree weather! What WERE these parents thinking? I bet we saw 30 kids in these types of costumes...sheesh, the parents were in tee shirts and shorts, sweating like crazy...did they not think of their kids at all?

There are web sights where guys take pictures of their girlfriends minus one of her garments in public places {such as WDW} and post them to these sights. 'Nuff said.

Don't always assume a child has a sunburn. My daughter has a very rare autoimmune disorder, basically her immune system is attacking her skin and muscle therefore it appears that she has an extreme sunburn. On numerous occasions I have had "helpful" comments from total strangers to the effect of you know you should take her inside a while or "mommy didn't put any sunblock on you did she honey". Oh I can't tell you have aggrivating it is because to go in an explain the situation to every "helping" or critical comment would be a waste. There are many things that can cause a person to look sunburned even though they are not. Now I do agree there are those that are oblivious to protecting their children to the sun so please don't bash me for that, but I did want to let you all know there are other reasons out there. By the way we will be there in January so if any of you see a young girl that looks like she is totally sunburned, just know it is ok - this was her wish to go to Disney!

Counting the days, keep up the good info.

I´m from Brazil and I have been in WDW several times. Unfortunatly, I have to agree that many brazilian teenagers groups are rude, loud, they cut in front of the lines and they think they can do whatever they want and no rules apply to them just because they are away from home, from their parents, and have freedom they had never had before. I have heard terrible stories about disrespect, shoplifting and the most shocking one comes next: a group of brazilian teenagers caught a CM and threw him on the lake in MK. I don´t know more details about that but I read it on the newspaper sometime ago.

They usually go to WDW in July or January (our summer). I try to avoid them and when they are around I pretend that I am not brazilian.

It is really a shame all of this, but I must say that these teenagers don´t reflect the reality of brazilian people. Most of us are very nice, polite and friendly. We are from diferent cultures but we respect all and we know how to behave ourselves in a diferent country. Here in Brazil, the people are very helpfull with american tourists, and almost everywhere there is somebody who speaks English

We don´t have any place like WDW, so, for most of us it is a dream to spend our vacation there. I´ll be there in two weeks and can´t wait to MVMCP and Candleligth Processional. It is my first time in December. I hope it is not too crowded, and not too many brazilian groups.

Silvio - I hope you have a wonderful time in WDW this holiday season.

A tremendously fat girl was in the pool and she did not know it but part of her female anatomy was falling out of the BOTTOM half of her suit. At first i saw a big piece of flesh and did not know what it was, i was shocked and appalled and completely and totally grossed out when I figured out what it was. It looked like a london broil was hanging out of her bathing suit.

I have been running on a treadmill ever since. I have seen lots of gross things in my 40 years but that one still "haunts" me that's how gross that was.

I think that thing rides shotgun!

Sorry, but I think your post is not in the slightest bit funny. I'm sure it was much more embarassing for that girl than YOU. I'm sick and tired of people picking on overweight people because they think it's okay. aka you're "shotgun" comment. I guess it wouldn't have been gross if it were a supermodel though huh? It must be so nice to be as perfect as you. Sorry, but your comments are inconsiderate and immature and I can't believe they came from a 40 year old. Must be the mid life crisis talking.

PS I know this is an old post but I had to comment.

Ok, I'll add in my shock (as in what shock I caused other people) and try to explain it. I hope you saw me!

Last February I took a short trip with a friend of mine for 4 nights. DH stayed home with the kids. Well, rewind a few months before that, and one of my DDs accidently "removed" Ken's head from his body while they were playing Barbies. Well, once heads are off, they don't go on very well again, so... dh and I started playing this "game" of hiding Ken's Head where the other would find it. Ex. on top of his deoderant, on his dashboard, in his pillow, etc... Quite a bit of silly fun, actually!

So, fast forward to the trip. I'm packing the night before and since I'm up late, I place Ken's head on the bathroom faucet so dh will see him in the morning after I've left. Sweet, no? I get up at 5am, shower, and am out the door with my friend at 5:30am. Do the airport thing, get in A line (Southwest), load onto plane, sit and wait... Hmmm... I think I want some gum, so I dig into my fanny pack to get some and guess who is there! KEN! OMG, dh got me good! So, Ken came to WDW with me. Here is where the shocking thing starts, so if you saw me, now you'll understand.

Everywhere I went those 4 days, when I took pictures, I held up Ken's Head on my finger in front of the picture! Yep, had Ken in front of the Castle, Ken enjoying Haunted Mansion, at MGM and even watching the Share a Dream Come True Parade. Don't believe me? Here ya go!

Now, dh sent me a goodie package so I had to include Ken in the picture, don't you agree? See him on the bow?

If you saw me, I hope I made you smile!

OMG, I am laughing so loud I'll probably get fired. That is too funny. My husband & I did the same thing with an alien head pin, but it never went on vacation.

not to engage in displays of public nudity, public porn, or public urination while at WDW. Furthermore I pledge to be respectful of DH and DS, especially if DS is tired. I pledge to be polite to other guests and CMs. I pledge not to eat anything off of the ground (or was that another thread?). I will do my best to avoid Brazilian teenagers. We will wear sunscreen. We will not wear clothing with profanity, underwear as outerwear, or wedgie shorts.

I have decided the Ken head is the most hilarious thing ever (but "You are all pig snot!" is a very close second) and I have told DS he can bring his small plastic dinosaur to be photographed in creative ways at many locations is WDW.

Lastly, I pledge that when my trip is over I will post the shocking things that happen because I am the type of person that will almost certainly witness something!

I think the only really bad thing we saw this trip was the family that came close to having a really bad 'knockdown, dragout' kind of fight right in front of the barriers in front of IASW. Boy, the language they were using! Let's just ignore the fact that thousands of kids are walking by each way! Sheesh. They should've just separated and done their own thing. I'm sure they would've been much happier!
Of course I forgot about the dude in line in a wheelchair at Liberty Inn. I can see not being able to manage an ECV, but even using a plain old wheelchair isn't too hard. I'm sure I'll see a nice big bruise on that ankle in a few days. And, believe me we were pushing a wheelchair the entire time ourselves. Oh well....I suppose even people in a wheelchair get impatient. (yes he had better control over his chair than that, saw him later on)

I kind of had a shocking moment. This past trip there was a party of eight people having lunch in the American pavilion in EPCOT and they had all brought their own food to eat. What was the shocking/funny thing was just the sheer amount of food they brought, they each had made themselves their own huge sub sandwich and everyone had their own can of soda plus they had brought big bags of chips and pretzels in with them. I think they may have even had packed a mini fridge in with them ;-) They were a really cute group What wasn't nearly as cute:

Another shocking moment occurring on the same day in the same place is that I got me a nice little case of food poisoning and the last day and a half of my trip was completely shot Makes me wish I had packed my own food too.

On our trip in 2003 we were on the boat on the way to the Magic Kingdom and there was this young women with to me look like nothing more than a short shirt and a pair of underwear on!!

They were shorts but they were horrible. Everyone on the boat was in shock. Mothers were pulling their children(and husbands lol) away from this women. Later in the day we saw her again and a castmember must of said something because she had longer shorts on. I mean come on this is a family place not a strip club!!!

 

[LLagow]

We saw a strange thing at the Garden Grill restaurant in Epcot on one trip. We were there for a late lunch- just a little while before the characters would take a break before the dinner crowd. There were only a few of us left at the tables and the characters started getting a little silly (stealing each others hats, bandanas etc. and chasing each other around to get them back). Then chip starts walking around with a paper towel on which he has written Cherryl smells!! After a few minutes on of the waitresses runs up and grabs it from chip and rips it up! She did not look happy ( one can only assume this was Cherryl) We left a few minutes later so we didn't get to see if Cherryl took any revenge on Chip.

 

[Laralyn]

We didn't see too many shocking things, except some very angry parents and very unhappy kids. Charlie (my boyfriend) said he wished he had his video camera with him so he could capture some of that "magic." The most shocking was a mother looming over her 2 or 3 year old son, her face red with fury, shaking him by one arm in time with her words as she screamed at him, "When we get back to the hotel, I am going to BEAT you!"

On my last trip, my ds didnt want to go back in his stroller and was screaming and a couple walked past and said Satan called he wants his son back

 

[SuzieQMomof3]

huey duey & luey:

First of all, great picture! Second, were they kidding? Sometimes a remark like that can diffuse a tense situation, but if they were being snotty that's really unbelievable. Have they never seen a tantrum? Do they live on Mars? Sheesh!

Try and forget it.

Oh, the tears are running down my cheeks and I cannot stop laughing!!! My DS did that to me with such intensity once that he wrapped the shoulder strap around his neck doing it and nearly choked himself. I had finally given up and just started pushing the stroller with him screaming bloody murder. Finally I stopped and looked and he is contorted in some weird direction with the strap wrapped around his neck. I'm sure I looked like I was ready to be reported to social services!! I feel your pain!!!
