Have you ever had a shock?

[nancyshack]

Hi,
Just got back from WL last night, I would say this is more of the upsetting "shocking" type of thing. We were walking past Casey's on the corner of Main street, and my DS 8, said to me"Mommy, do something, that lady is beating up that person!" well I turned to see what he was talking about and saw a woman 'beating' with her fist a young adult who was laying on the ground crying and yelling. I ran over to a cm and asked if they could do something, he confronted the woman and asked her to stop, she did not, so me and my big mouth told her to "please stop!", she told me to "F@*( off " and continued on with what she was doing, finally security came over and was handling the situation. The only thing that I did notice was the young adult girl had a helmet on and was obviously disabled, I felt so awful and heard the woman say it was how she controlled her "dumb and handicapp daughter!"" I was mortified coming from a family that has a few disabled people. I was going to go and tell her a thing or two, when my DH reminded me where we were and didn't want to upset our 3 kids any farther. Then I had the unfortunate task of explaining to my kids what they witnessed. While security escorted this woman, her daughter and I assume her husband in to the first aid area!! Yikes!!

That is just appalling. I hope there's a special level of Hell for people like that.

I haven't actually read it. (off to google...)

Pixie, you may have a point there, but.....

In this area, "ax" instead of "ask" is used quite a lot by a certain group of people. It has nothing to do with speech impediments. I think an employer would be smart enough to catch cues from a person's speech to determine if they have a speech impediment or not.

totally off topic for a question about an off topic post but...
just curious what "group of people" that would be?

People who watch too much MTV in the afternoons, when they should be doing their school homework

ok now yesterday i saw something shocking let me give you the whole story


Ok so its Friday the 17 and im in Epcot with my school. So were going through the countries enjoying them and we finally come to France. Ok now this is where it begins we are watching the act of chairs that they put on when these three men (who have to be roughly in there 30's) come into France. Now theres no problem until one of them starts screaming "THE FRENCH ARE TRAITORS! THEY DON'T LIKE US! THERE OUR ENEMY" and such. So now i feel embaressed for the cms from France who have come here to work and have to hear this man yelling this at them during there act. So me, my mom and my group try to move on when the one screaming comes us to my friend Jennie and says "do you like the French?" Im a little ahead of them but still hear this and my mom is next to Jennie and were exiting France. Without a beat Jennie replies "I don't talk to strangers and by the way we are French!" Then he huffs and goes on saying things like i don't care what you think blah blah blah we stayed in that area until my mom thought they had gone far enough ahead.
So there is my most shocking thing ive seen in disney

Wow, how rude! They probably just ended up looking like idiots. One of the guys who does the Chair Act isn't even form France, he's from Russia. So basically they were screaming at a Russian about how they hate France.

This isn't anything new at the France pavilion since the start of the Iraq war. Periodically, someone will vent their rage at {in their thinking} the French. We have been to WDW untold number of times since 1988, and since the start of the war, on numerous occassions, we have seen folks show their displeasure at France's reaction to the war, and they will, in some little way, show their feelings towards the country. Never heard anyone screaming like that, though. Most people will give the one finger salute to the pavilion as they walk by. I guess some folks are more vocal then others.....

I was told that they get a lot of the "French" cms from Quebec now, b/c of this.

he did sound like an idiot and a little tipsy, his friends were trying to make him shut up though i wonder what he said in Britain

My most shocking moment was not seen, but fully experienced. My best friends and I were in line for Soarin' and the family in front of us had a very rambunctious four-year-old. None of us really minded, after all, at WDW there are kids. This kid, however, decided that a great game would be walking by us and stomping on our toes as hard as he could! He did this to each of us; we were totally shocked. We asked his parents to stop him, and they didn't. Takes all kinds, I suppose.

In my opinion, the person being stepped on, in this case, has every right to say to the child, firmly (not snarlingly), "You may NOT step on my toes! Do not do it again!"

I'm sure I would have been shocked, too, but the preschool teacher in me would probably have come through and said something to the child.

Respect for the parenting rights of others doesn't supercede my right to keep my toes safe!

I was happy to say I did not see too much shocking behavior except from one adult on the little boat back from MK to Polynesian via GF. Mom and Dad with two little ones. The one boy (about 4-5) appeared to be well behaved but maybe he was whining - (who wouldn't - it was cold that day and near 5 PM!). Anyway the dad leaned foward and said something I didn't hear and then said "If you don't behave I am going to throw you off this boat!" -- WHAT A HORRIBLE THING TO SAY TO A CHILD! I don't care how annoyed the Dad was!!!

[SpectroMagic*o*]

My Most Recent Shock Was To See How Crowded The Parks Were In January!! All I Kept Hearing Was How Great It Was In January Cuz It's Empty And You Get Right On All The Rides, Blah Blah Blah. Me And My Sister Went This Past January And It Looked Like Spring Break (although It Was Freezing!!). We Couldnt Even Find A Spot For The Spectromagic Parade. I Just Dont Have Luck With The Crowds I Guess.

 

[dani0622]

Wow, if you have b**bs big enough to be seen when you're breastfeeding, then they're probably not the kind guys enjoy looking at

Hey! What's wrong with big b**bs? That was a little rude don't you think?

 

[bellebud]

most shocking moment... dad and 3yo daughter (and mom and another child) are waiting for the parade. 3yo daughter is standing on a bench w/ dad sitting on bench next to her... he keeps putting his hands up her sundress "tickling" her under her dress... she clearly is pushing his hands back down, saying "nooooooo" and trying to turn herself away from him. very obvious she was uncomfortable. i wanted to say "hey dad! she obviously doesn't want her private parts tickled, you perv!!" Very sad for the child!
