Have you ever had a shock?

[ladysoleil]

Several years ago, back in 96, I think, my then BF and I were staying at one of the AllStars, I think it was All Star Music but we did some hotel hopping that trip. It was a rainy, chilly day in March, so, rather than go to the MK early, we decided to stay in and find a better way to warm up.

I *thought* I had the Do Not Disturb sign out and the privacy lock flipped. Note the use of the phrase, "I thought".

So, we were quite occupied with each other, when all of a sudden the door flies open...to a housekeeper standing out on the walkway, and a large group of children running past our room. I guess we didn't hear her knock.

I'm not sure who screamed louder, me, the BF, or the maid. I immediately dived for as much bedspread as I could to cover up, which of course, left the poor guy "out in the cold". I'm sure it only actually took a second or two, but it was one of those moments that *felt* like several hours. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the door was slammed shut and we heard footsteps quickly running away from our door. I think it was really too quick for the kids to see anything (at least I hope so) but the poor housekeeper definitely got an eyeful.

After spending at least ten minutes being completely mortified and then dying laughing, we then decided that maybe we should go off to the parks after all, if only so we wouldn't be there in case some angry parent came pounding on our door to tell us that we'd scarred their child for life with our accidental peep show.

I must admit that we got *really* bad maid service from there on out, but I didn't complain about it as I figured she was probably as embarrassed as we were and was probably cleaning the room at the speed of light from then on to avoid running into us again. It's definitely taught me a lesson- *always* make sure the Do Not Disturb sign is out!!!

OH MY GOD!!! HOW HUMILIATING!!!

I'm glad to hear that you guys laughed it off though

I will admit I let in a few chuckles of my own

I worked in housekeeping for a couple years while in college, and had this happen once - everything happened so quickly though I just remember seeing a blur as the couple jumped for the sheets...

I always make sure the Do Not Disturb sign is up, the bolt on & the privacy lock flipped - I know how little warning some housekeepers give!

I need to get a life. I spent the better part of the last two days reading this thread. I have gone through a complete range of emotions: Joy, laughter, outrage, disgust...

I am amazed that I have yet to see any of these, and yet thankful. OK, there are a couple that I wouldn't mind seeing. Oops, I meant to just think that.

I think the worst I saw was a mom lay her baby on the table with nothing under it and change it's diaper right there in the eating area. Eiwww!

 

[dopeyone]

YES, ONE TIME WHILE REMODLEING INDOORS, I GOT KNOCKED OFF MY LADDER, WHEN THE BACK OF MY NECK BUMPED INTO A HOT WIRE, HANGING FROM THE CEILING.

[petula]

Wow, these are hysterical and scary! I had a sight on my last trip that wasn't exactly shocking, but it did make me do a double-take. We were on our way out of AK when I made a stop in the restroom. As I was sitting in the stall, I opened the disposal box to the side of the toilet...and found a pair of purple bug's-eye 3D glasses staring straight up at me. People must have wondered what I was laughing at in the stall.

 

[figmentvi]

Allison that is priceless. Good for you !!!

 

[boucheresq]

I finally have a shock to report. On my last trip in January, we went to dinner at Whispering Canyon. Upon leaving, we watched the hostess openly pick her nose, look at it and then flick it away. now, this was a woman in her 50's too! I'm just glad I saw it at the end of the meal and not in the beginning b/c I wouldn't have eaten there.

That was tears in my eye laughing!! Glad you could laugh about it!

That was really clever of you! Good job!! I always like when people don't get away with their rudenesses.

During this past Thanksgiving week, Mom and I spent a day at MK. We were waiting for Wishes on a bench in front of Crystal Palace, watching dozens of astoundingly rude people. A really nice older couple came up, with the wife in a wheelchair. They went across the walkway, and got right next to the fence, right in front of us, then turned around to see if they were blocking our view. We said no, and everyone was happy.

Five minutes before the show, a mid-20's looking couple walks up, pushes their way past the crowd of people standing at the fence, throw their legs over the fence, walk to DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE WOMAN IN THE WHEELCHAIR, and sit down on the fence railing! Not only were they completely blocking her view, but their butts were two inches from her face!! They actually started cussing when EVERYONE screamed at them! What JERKS!! Where does anybody get off thinking they're entitled to that kind of thing???

They were probably raised by parents that treated them like a little Prince and Princess. Makes you think, doesn't it?

Last year I was shocked at the number of people in motorized scooters. Now I will not presume to say that many of them are just lazy and should have been walking, but I did see many of them get up and walk when it was convenient. And just as there are inconsiderate car drivers, there are inconsiderate scooter drivers. We pedestrians are at their mercy. I suppose as long as medicare pays for these things, they will be everywhere.

Now before you flame me, I know that they are a blessing to many people who would be confined at home if they didn't have them.

I once saw & heard a guy in Mickey's Toontown Fair tell his wife "I'm tired of listening to your s#*%*, I am two minutes away from going back to the f%$#*^@ room and packing our f^%$*#* and going home b*^#@." There were children all around when this happened. I felt so embarrassed for his wife and sorry that she had to be married to such a forst class jerk!

I saw a man boarding a boat on Splash Mountain with a little boy who looked no older than three and not tall enough to get on the ride. The CM sat and watched as the little boy screamed and cried because he did not want to get in the boat and then tried to sit on his dad's lap. The CM finally steps in and then he just tells the man, "He can't sit in your lap, he has to have his own seat.' Then the dad plops the child down in the seat harshly and proceeds to take his hand and hold the child down as the child is having a meltdown. The CM let the boat go and I felt sooo sorry for that child and for everyone else on the boat that was going to have to listen to shrill screams the entire ride because of one horrible father. I think the CM's need to get a backbone and learn to tell people "no" in those situations.
