Have you ever had a shock?

[phisigprincess]

We were waiting for Spectromagic to start having firmly secured our seats by the curb. A dad with his kids seemed to think my mom was in his was and kicked her in the side of the ribs. I believe he mumbled some comment about letting other people walk through littered with some explitives. My dad went tearing after the guy (who had made a hasty exit) but couldn't find him. Mom was fine, just a bit shocked. THis thread is amazing to me!!

Not at Disney, but recently I was at the zoo, when two shetland ponies were loudly consummating their relationship.

Ah! That just brought back memories. I was about 8 or 9 years old and I saw ELEPHANTS doing it at our zoo. All I can say was YIKES! Needless to say I had a lot of questions for my parents that day.

Neither did I.
I did read your post and I was just saying that legal and courteous (for lack of a better word) doesn't necessarily go together. I really wasn't trying to be snippy - honest

I don't personally have a problem with mothers breastfeeding in the vast majority of public places (even in a restaurant or theatre wouldn't bother me - hey, the baby's happy and quiet, so I'm happy!).
I have read (it may have been on this actual thread, but I could never go back and find it now) of one situation though (for example), where a breastfeeding mother was to be found sitting on the floor at the entrance to the shop area that you go through after riding Dinosaur! - that, IMO, is inappropriate (that's the word I'm looking for!) - I mean, it's a fire/safety hazard!

Usually legal and courteous go together... just curious- what other laws do you consider just legal but non-courteous? I'm honestly curious, not being snippy. I can't think of any myself.

The example you gave is not courteous to SIT THERE at the entrance of a shop area- the breastfeeding is irrelevant, it's the sitting there blocking an entrance that is not courteous.

not at disney, but at busch gardens last year for howl-o-scream... a guy was throwing handfuls of turtle food at the alligators in their enclosure. people confronted him about it and he said, 'I can do whatever I want' and he and his wife started screaming the F*bomb at everyone. with 2 young kids at their side.
a huge fistfight broke out, and his wife spit in my face. classy. the big problem was BG security didn't want to pursue anything. I had to force them to contact a police officer in the park to press charges. can't wait for this year's howl-o-scream next weekend.

Bibbidy Bobbidy Boo, in Ontario it is perfectly legal for men and women to walk around topless. It may be legal, but I don't feel it is courteous or respectful.

Back on topic (like I thought everyone had agreed to), I've seen the hippo's 'at it' while we were on KS in 1999. My dad managed to get the whole thing on camera before realising!

Maybe parents should think about these things before taking the little ones to AK

Omg, my sister, my best friend, her boyfriend and my boyfriend were at Six Flags GA on their safari thing (you drive your own car throught) and we saw the same thing.

My best friend (age 18 at the time) who is a little naiive said "They arent playing leap frog right?"

When the male finished he went and took a shower (typical) and the female just stood there

Then it was my sister's turn for comment (15 at the time) "Wow look he has 5 legs!" She was soooo confused as to the 5th "leg"

What is it with the animals on the Safari in AK? We saw the rhinos doing 'it' and it made for some comical adlib script from the driver !

I saw something disturbing last time I went. A Father slap a little boy in the back of the neck because he wanted to ride something and his father was fustrated I guess. He said I have told you over and over again.. We are going to ride this anbd etc.
I was thinking that poor Kid. I gave dad the evil eye for that. How can you slap your kid at THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH?

Me, being just 17, has seen many crazy things.

They were about to set up that light parade show at MK (don't know the name of it.) And me, my mom, and dad were waiting for about 20-25 mins to get a front row seat because there was an opening between the parade path, so people could get through before the parade started and the CM said when the rope is up, people cannot go through and everyone can move their way up to the rope to watch the parade. So when it happened, I walked up to the front and some guy maybe late 30s, early 40s (and also intoxicated), grabbed my shoulder (17, a guy) and pushed me out of the way, i almost fell, so it started this HUGE brawl. All these people watching him and my mom battle it out. He was screaming this is an outrage, i was waiting here for 20 mins, and u guys just came up (even though, like i said ive been waiting for about 20-25 mins. too!). then my mom was calling for a CM and security, but they stood around and did nothing (what's usual). and the guy screamed in my face yelling all these southern words, haha. i really couldn't understand him. and my mom said if u every touch my son again, i will #&$^#$^ kick your @$$. and my mom told my dad and he started screaming. and then some random skanky southern guy (again, lol) said WELL WE'VE BEEN WAITING, THAT'S JOKE! to my mom and my mom said shut the #%#$ up! Then the guy who pushed me's wife said stop saying stuff or were gonna get kicked out, and he stopped, then the parade started, haha. my mom was so pissed that someone touched me (an adult, nevertheless). so after it was over, my mom got her drink, and threw it, and spilled it all over his pants. he did nothing of course, cause if he would, he would of probably got escorted by the police, but since the CMs never notice anything, maybe not. yeah, well, thats it! haha

Have to agree there.


One incident from last year.
1. Fortune Telling last year at MNSSHP. Intern watching the line. Line now closed off due to the number of guests already waiting.
We are next to last. There is a rope up to keep any more people from coming. App 5-10 minutes later, a woman comes up and starts to climb over the rope. CM Intern doesn't see her. The woman behind us tells the woman jumping the rope (as polite as one could be) "They closed off the line" She proceeds to berate this lady. Tells her to shove it and mind her own business. The Intern now comes over and politely tells her the line is closed. The woman lets her have it profanity and all. She came a %$#&* 1000 miles I will get my fortune told. Blah,blah,blah

The Intern remained calm throughout. The woman storms off a few minutes later comes back with a CM manager. and tells a lie how she was treated horribly. Someone will be getting a letter. Didn't the woman realize all of us in line and everyone else around for that matter, witnessed her conduct. Instead of us resorting to her outrageous conduct, some of us killed her with kindness. That went over real well as you can guess.

Once again she stormed off. Wonder if she ever sent a letter?

OMG - I am really surprised the way that people act at the "Happiest Place on Earth"......

I was in line for King Kong at US about 3 years ago. It was July and it was HOT. As we moved futher up the line, I realised that a young baby had been sick all over the floor. The part that shocked me, though, was that the parents were still taking their sick child on the ride. A 40 minute queue in the Florida heat isn't the best place for a baby anyway, but a sick one?

Also, my db and I were deeply disturbed by something we saw at IOA. A boy of about 10-11 was doing something strange with all the soft toys in one of the shops. At first we thought he was sneezing on them. When we got closer, we realised he was pretending to break their necks! That still bothers me.

Another thing (sadly doedn't shock me anymore, bothers me though) is bad personal hygene. With big queues and close contact, I'm always troubled by people who 'forget' to wash in the morning.

I can top that. We were at the Birmingham Zoo (Alabama) and the hippo must have been EXTREMELY hungry because his hippo friend pooped and he....er....helped clean it up by eating it.
