Have you ever had a shock?

[disneyaggie]

while at the Cape May breakfast buffet the girl in front of me kept picking up the serving spoons to sniff them

Hi mommystieg!

Now, regarding your post . . . YUCK! How gross!

I guess the one good thing is that at least she didn't lick each spoon and then put them back in the serving dishes!

Last Tuesday we had just checked into POR and decided to go to Typhoon Lagoon before heading over to MK for the evening. Within the first 5 minutes we saw something i hope to never see again. A woman was bent over next to a bush with the back of her halter bikini top undone her female parts hanging out putting sunscreen on. I turned around after i walked by her because i couldn't believe it and i saw everything. It was the worst way to start a vacation. The funny thing is as soon as i saw it i said to myself "this is going on the disboards"

Parents, please tell your kids that if they are at a buffet and aren't sure about the food, to put a little on their plate and taste it when they get back to the table--while at the Cape May breakfast buffet the girl in front of me kept picking up the serving spoons to sniff them Did she not realize that other people needed to use those spoons too?? It did give me one of those "teaching" moments with our own kids....put it on your plate, if you don't like it you don't have to eat it and if you do like it you can always go back and get more.

This is exactly why I refuse to eat at buffets. Also parents need to tell their kids not to play with every piece of plastic cutlery in the foodcourt or counter service restaurant. I've seen kids at Disney play with straws and forks and then put them back in the bins. Yuck! It isn't quite as bad if they are sealed in plastic or paper wrappers, but many locations just have the forks out in a bin without wrappers.

Gosh, how could I forget the other shocking thing at WDW. We had just checked into BCV and my son had to go to SAB. So he and my husband were doing the slide, lazy river, sinking sands, etc. and I headed over to the hot tub (the high one). I was sitting there with a few other persons, who eventually left. So I was there alone. I turned around and kneeled on the seat to see if I could see my husband and son anywhere. I thought I heard someone arrive. I turned around to see a man and a woman going at it hot and heavy, sucking face and groping. The woman was seated on the bench opposite of where I was and the man was kneeling on top of her.

I cleared my throat and waited for them to stop. A moment later they did stop, only they weren't a man and a woman, they were two teens, maybe 14 and 15. The boy stated that he didn't realize that anyone else was in the hot tub (now I'm not that petite, so how could he miss me????). I told them that maybe they would like to take it to their room. The girl said that this was embarrassing. The boy agreed. I told them well, they probably wouldn't be seeing me again and to forget it (to relieve their embarrassment). I kept wondering why in the world they would do something like this in a public place????

Soon I left the hot tub and went over to sit at the table that we had found. A sort time later, the people sitting at the table next to our showed up. You guessed it, it was the two teens. Again they both said that they were embarrassed. Then the boy lit up a cigarette and showed the girl that he knew how so smoke, that you had to hold it in your mouth. I nearly laughed out loud.

I felt like asking the boy's mom (they were there with his parents) how she liked the idea of being a grandmother, but after seeing her and the dad, I kept my mouth shut. White trash for sure. Maybe they had money (to stay at the BC or YC), but trash for sure. When they left, they left all their garbage on the table instead of throwing it away, and left all their used towels lying around.

This event has always stayed with me and I think of it everytime I ride Space Mountain. We were in Disneyland several years ago and my ds and I were getting ready to board Space Mountain. The guy that was exiting our seats while we were entering totally LOST his drawers AND the dude was commando!! I guess they got stuck on something and they slipped right off.

Thank goodness we only got the rear view which was an eyeful. My ds who was only about 7 at the time was laughing so hard (the guy was outta there quick) he had little tears in his eyes.

My ds is now 13 and my dd is 6. The other day she came up to me and said, tell me about the time that guy lost his shorts on Space Mountain. I guess my ds told her all about it!

Ok, going every weekend we see lots of shocking things....but this one in particualr happened a few weeks ago....DH took DD into the bathroom to change her diaper at AK. Near him were two younger men discussing the new "adult" films one had gotten and setting up a date to get together and watch them after their day at the park, sigh....

One of the few times I was glad DD was developmentally delayed and had no clue what they were talking about and couldn't ask about it....

My shockers:

1) On the 2 1/2 hour flight to Orlando there was a family of 5 and the grandmother. The 3 children were probably all under the age of 7 or so and the mother was pregnant again. They did not bring ANYTHING for their 2 year old to do and she was not in a car seat or anything so she screamed and jumped on the seats the whole time . Then the two older ones started getting annoying to the grandmother apparently and she told them that if they didnt shut up they would not be allowed on any rides Then she threatened to smack them I hope they had a good vacation

2) I went as a "mother's helper/babysitter/close family friend" because it was the family I went with's first time and their daughter who is 10 is in a wheelchair. We got to Fantasmic an hour before showtime and were sitting in the Handicapped section right in the middle. About 15 minutes to showtime, the stadium was filling up and two young (probably 7 or 8 years old) children try to sit down in front of us in the handicapped seating area. We explain to them that the area is reserved and point to the sign to make the point. They tell us that their mother told them to sit there (mother is nowhere in sight). We tell them that they will have to move. The CM tells them that they should find their mother because they can not sit there. They ignore all of us. The mother still does not show up. Another child shows up, probably 5 years old or so and tries to squeeze in (really wasnt any room). The mother shows up and fits herself in at the end of the row where it isnt handicapped seating and puts the 5 year old on her lap. The kids start whining about how the mean people kicked them out of the area . The mother exchanged a few words with the CM and walked away with the kids. I know I would NOT leave children out of my sight in that stadium. It is HUGE

3) I was trying to watch Wishes (which is amazing amazing amazing) and this mother was looking for her children in the dark. She was starting to panic. She was screaming their names... Why would you walk away from your children if you know the lights are going to go out? They warn you it will be dark!

Whew. I just have to get a life! It's taken me a couple of weeks to get through these.

I just wanted to suggest on the diaper changing: I wiped off the diaper changer with a baby wipe when kids were that small. After they could walk I used to change their diapers standing up (they wouldn't lie down); I am now better at standing changes than lying-down ones. Also, the AVERAGE age for boys to be potty trained is now 3 (about 2 1/2 for girls). Mostly due to disposable diapers, which don't feel wet to the child.

My breastfeeding shocker involved other guests while I was doing it. DD was 9 months old on her first trip to WDW; it was March, and finding out-of-the-way places was pretty easy. One particular time I can remember this happening was the benches near the restrooms at Imagination. I sat down, pulled the stroller in front of me (kind of at an angle, blocking me from view of people coming down the walkway), got her positioned, and people kept coming over to sit down and talk to me! The best I can figure is I was wearing nursing tops; maybe people really couldn't tell what I was doing.

Line-jumping shocker: DD was 2, DS was 5, we were getting the CBR bus after Wishes. The line was very long and stretched out of the queue; since I was paying attention, I figured that out and got in line. DD was sleeping in the stroller and DS was holding on to my waist pack belt. A bus was loading and the line had just started moving and then DH, who was going back to Epcot to pick up the car, called me. DH cannot find his way around WDW to save his life, so, figuring he couldn't find the monorail or something, I answered. I'm talking to him, walking along a little slowly so DS can keep up. There were some people at the beginning of where the queue rails were who tried to jump right in front of me. I shouted out, "Excuse me, we're all in line here!" The lady said, "Oh, sorry, I didn't know..."

There were 50 people behind me and she can't tell it's a line???

Afterward I was talking to the couple behind me; they were at WDW for 25th wedding anniversary and the man said, "Don't worry; we had your back!"

The really shocking ones have sadly been from people who were with me. My mom saying (seriously) once that she hated how many kids were in MK. My DH putting DS on his shoulders at MGM and walking him smack into a tree limb. And the way they all seem to think you can eat anywhere you want to, anytime, without making ARs.


Oh--and once a kid (about 10) in front of me at Buzz Lightyear LICKED the hand rail. Before I thought I said, "Oh, honey, don't put your mouth on the hand rails!" Fortunately, the mom thanked me instead of tearing my head off.

This thread is soo awesome. It great really fast. I have found a new read once again.

 

[Blondy876]

Bump because it took me several days but I finally read all 104 pages

 

[muffyn]

I read each and every one of these, and I have a different shocking story.
.The waiter offered a child's menu for the kid, but the mom said, no, he is just a baby so he is just having baby food. She then ordered for her and the dad ordered and they got out baby food jars. The boy started to whine saying that he wanted mac and cheese, and the mom just spoke to him in the way people talk to little babies, saying, oh my sweet little baby, you are just a little baby, you need to eat baby food. .

now SOMEWHERE this kid must have had mac & cheese for him to keep crying he wanted it!
something else must have been behind the weird parents actions.
(baby food surely is not enough to keep a 3 yrd old in good health!)

Once when we were staying at Wilderness Lodge we stopped into the gift shop just after someone had lost their lunch all over the floor. There was a trail of it leading out into the hallway and towards the bathroom- The cm's were doing their best to advise all of the shop patrons to watch their steps, but the stuff was inevitably tracked all the way through the store before a janitor came to mop it up...eww!

I feel bad for the janitor who had to clean all that up!

A couple of trips ago, we were on the boat from WL to MK and I notice a girl about 11 or 12 sitting on a man's lap. He was probably in his 30's. I'm thinking father and daughter, but that is not what was disturbing.

She squeezed blackheads on his nose the entire trip to MK while the rest of the family looked on and gave her encouragement. "Oh, that was a good one" or "Get that one, too".

Can you say gross...

This thread is great!

My shock was at Epcot during Christmas week about 3 years ago. We were waiting for a ride and saw three women wearing disney christmas tree skirts as ponchos. We couldn't stop from laughing because we have one at home on our Christmas tree!

 

[MickeyMouseGal]

This isn't really 'shocking', but we thought it was weird.
On the monorail from the Magic Kingdom to the Grand Floridian, a young couple boarded with their infant. He/she was tiny, probably just a few months old and in one of those transport system thingys. Not a traditional stroller, but one of those things you pop the carseat into. So, the baby was totally reclining, just looking at the celing of the monorail. Apparently, the baby was laughing or smiling because the parents were laughing their heads off at the baby and snapping picture after picture. Under normal circumstances, we wouldn't have even noticed, but it was AFTER closing time at the MK and it was pitch black outside. Each time they took a picture, everyone in the monorail car was blinded by the flash. One or two pics would have been fine, but this couple must have taken a dozen or more pictures between the MK and the TTC. When they finally got off, the remaining people in the car all collectively said, "Oh, Thank Goodness!"
Don't flame me for complaining about people taking pictures of their kids, but they must have taken a whole roll of the exact same thing. Aside from the fact that it was inconsiderate to use the flash in the dark in such a confined area. I had white flash spots in my eyes for the rest of the way to the GF!
