Have you ever had a shock?

[PixieDust742]

Trying again....

At Typhoon Lagoon, we saw a little boy about 3 in a stroller with Mom and Dad. He was whining, wanting to get out, and Mom screams at him "You are not going to $#@^!& get out of the stroller!" He fussed a bit more, then Mom, who looked VERY angry, RIPS him out of the stroller, slaps himm and throws him down on his feet. Of course he starts crying, and running to Dad for comfort, but Mom takes the stroller and smashes it into the little boy hard. (Dad was walking a bit ahead and seemed pretty much oblivious).

here we go...shock #1
back in 1999 my son 2.5 at the time was OBSESSED with mulan! we watched mulan morning noon and night! we were at MGM and waited in line for 30 min to see mulan and shaine my son was bursting! we were next in line and last and as we were getting the autograph books to the right page this foreign family pushes him, me and the carriage out of the way and starts snapping pics, i said hey, we were next and he was like no engiss no engiss but he knew the phrase - one more picture very well! my son started crying, my DH was ready to fight and the cm's rushed mulan and shain away- we never got our picture or autograph.


Next shocker------#2

we were waiting at the ropes in WS to see illuminations, me, DS 3, DS 6 and DH, we had been waiting forever(well probably not forever but itseemed that way) anyways, the rope drops and this guy comes out of nowhere,( like oj simpson running through the airport on those hertz commercials) pushing people and stepping on people, he knocks over this young mother and her baby, who was in the carriage and he has his family in tow and they all sit down in front, everyone yelling and screaming at him and he says if you dont like it you can leave- he says that to us? some people! my husband had it, he kept up the rant about people and teaching thier kids its ok to hurt other peoplle and push and stuff, my DH helped the young mother, who was cut now and the baby couldnt stop screaming- no CM in sight, this guy and his family actually turned and asked her to "shut that baby up" needless to say we left.

Schock #3---

it was out last night in WDW we went to the MK, then to Chef Mickeys, went to the gift shop and went to pay for some sovvineers, my wallet was gone! oh man, THe MK was closed and we needed to get on our plane next day!
got the number for lost and found, spent the whole am on the phone with them, never thought i would ever get it back, white LV wallet, they found it, mailed it to my house, the shocker? everything was still in it, passes, money credit cards...

Shocks #1 and #2, I dunno, I would not let anyone put there hands on me without doing something about it!

 

[weeyore33]

i guess i am the - forget about it- its not worth it type, with all those kkids there it didnt seem worth itto start a fist fight with these people, they are who they are, we were not hurt physically ,just kind of stunned, but that poor mom with the baby, i will never forget her, believe me, my Dh fumed that i wouldnt let him "take care of it" oh well, i guess we could have been someone elses shock story

 

[mitros]

Well, you certainly have more restraint then I do. I would have had to put the guys lights out. I guess my 6'7" 265lbs. give me a little more courage!
Glad you guys were not hurt!

 

[weeyore33]

thanks, we were not hurt but i guess your 6'7" would have been a shock to that little weasel!

 

[LuluLovesDisney]

I am only 5' 6" but I am *very* loud when I want to be (ask my students). I would have screamed for sercurity so loudly the man would have left before anyone got there, guaranteed.

 

[mitros]

Thanks Lulu, that is what I would excpect from a fellow {former} New Jerseyan. Hows things back in Joisy? We've been down here since 1997. We miss the family.... And Wildwood!

hahahaha!

The pizza and bagels are great! The weather is hot and humid! The traffic around the shore is killer! Gotta love Jersey! We can switch houses for a weekend, hahaha!!

Like Mitros and Lulu I would have a hard time NOT doing something. I know that is easier said being away from the situation, but that guy really sounds like a jerk. As far as physical confrontation I think I will be thinking twice about that now.

I have a friend/neighbor who is officially banned from WDW for fighting. He was down there for a conference and was out the last night with a colleague at PI. Apparently, someone who had a bit to drink started something with my friend's colleague. Right away Disney Police come out of the wood work to try and break up the scuffle. My friend decides to put his hand on one of the Disney Police to say "Hey, my buddy didn't start it." and more Disney Police jump him. They took him to a Disney drunk tank and told him and his colleague that their names have been placed on a banned list from WDW. He doesn't know how true that is, but he hasn't been back either. His DW is a HUGE WDW fan and she really wants to bring their DS. We can't wait to see what happens when they try to book their room. "Oh, it's YOU......"

This happened back in 2004 at ToT. Me and my girlfriend at that time were waiting in line and there were a group of people in front of us that were about 25 years old. they were daring each other to do things to pass the time while they waited in line. One lady grabbed an old peice of chewed gum on the garbage can and started chewing it. Another guy licked bird poop off of a garbage can. I am getting sick right now even thinking about it.

EEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!

Sure, you HAD to bring up Jersey pizza and bagels. NO one in Florida knows how to make bagels or pizza, and don't get me started on Jersey beefsteak tomatoes. The tomatoes down here taste like cardboard. We thought of bringing some tomatoe plants down next time we visit N.J., but I think it's the soil that does it.
Also, if we switch, you will have to take care of my MiL and our 90 year old cat! Still wanna switch?

Don't even get me started about Cheesesteaks, either!

It's NOT a hunk of steak, people!

And the PROPER Philly Cheesesteak is "Whiz, Wit." (for those unfortunate souls who have not experienced a true Philly Cheesesteak, that's Cheese Whiz "wit" fried onions). It's NOT American Cheese, it's NOT Provolone, and it's NEVER Swiss! God forbid!

Ketchup (NOT Catsup) is permissable, though.

And, IDEALLY on an Amoroso roll.

Mmmmmm... I think I may make a road trip down to Jim's on South Street today! (Forget Pat's & Gino's!)

The guy who knocked over the lady and her baby would have been sitting in a jail cell if that had happened around me. That should be considered assault and battery and child endangerment. Of course I would have been in the cell next to him cause I would have tried to clean his clock.

Ive been reading this thread for ages now. Am I the only one who is getting scared? We leave in 5 weeks and I am already getting anxious about all the crazies and psychos I may run into.

On our trip last week, we ran into ZERO crazies and psychos. And that is very unusual for us. We usually have at least one interaction.

Hope you will have a similar trip.

I'm not gonn alie I wouldnt mind some entertainment from the crazies! They're usually good for a laugh or two!

Some of these are too funny. But i wanted to tell about the shock i got. It was when someone did something totally DISNEY, they were nice. We were late for the MGM parade, so, we were standing in the back. My DS was only 6 and couldn't see. The nicest lady in a wheel chair, backed out, so my little boy could see. The smile on his face is priceless. I wish I could thank her again for that!

Just watch out for the weird lady in the wheelchair with her daughter's wheelchair attached to hers, she is there every weekend and I hear she is completely bonkers!!!
