Have you ever had a shock?

[LindsayDunn228]

I agree with all of it except for the being mortified bit. I would apologise but it's a child, they aren't great at controlling being sick.

They fed a child, a very young child, mac and cheese after it had already thrown up that day. They were just asking for trouble, IMO.

 

[Corryn]

Not for nuthin' but in this day in age with germs, disease and viruses like AIDS it is totally irresponsible to excrete any bodily fluid, etc. in public! When I, or one of my kids, start bleeding someplace public (even a tiny cut) I'll immediatly wrap up whatever's bleeding (for our own safety) and get rid of any bloody tissue, etc. for everyone else's.

For a human being to watch their offspring spout vomit and to let it sit there for SOMEONE ELSE to clean up shows what a disgusting piece of trash they really are. Some piece of trash who can sit there and go on with whatever their doing while their child's vomit sits there stinking up the immediate area is equal to a big fat hog wallowing in a mud puddle.

My child threw up one day while we were out and an employee came over to clean it and I INSISTED on cleaning it myself! I grabbed their paper towels and spray and cleaned it up myself. Why should I subject a stranger (it was a teenager) to cleaning up my mess, even if I didn't intend on making one??? It's still my mess. I'm Sure they do not want to do it, and to sit there and clean up and smell a stranger's vomit?!?!
I'm sorry, but to me, that's like doing number two in public and letting it sit there.
I'm this crazy about this because I live in an area that is overloaded with Illegal Aliens and you can walk by an empty lot (or even a patch of trees) and smell human defecation. It's disgusting.......

I agree with your post, however, I would like to point out (in case there are any young people or others that don't know) that you cannot contract AIDS through vomit. The only viruses likely to be contracted through vomit are Norwalk like viruses, gastrointestinal issues. . . etc...

Yea, I would not have been mortified if my child threw up unexpectedly, but in this situation, I would have been mortified by my own sheer stupidity. Who gives mac n' cheese to a child that's been vomiting? ::insert "duh" icon here::

Four or five years ago, we were waiting in line for that show at MGM (Fantasma I think?). A Jamaican women and this piece of white trash got into it. The Jamiacan lady got mad and hit the white trash lady in the head with her turkey leg. Shocking? Yes. Funny? Absolutely?

That sounds like one of my sisters-in-law. A couple of years ago on vacation at the beach her DS10 or so at the time was sick at his stomach and not feeling well at all. We had all planned to go do some souvenier shopping that day and DSIL insisted DN was fine. Well, we were at the first store about 5 minutes and he throws up. At least he made it to the bathroom. DSIL ended up having to take him back to the house we rented and the rest of us had to cram into one vehicle.

I would have never thought of sitting at the table with that woman.....Now I know what to do, thanks!! And I liked your French comment
As for rides, you should really try POC again, we think it's one of the best!

When my girls were young (7 & 8, I think) we were waiting on line for the Countdown to Extinction ride (now Dinosaur) and there was a group of goofy high school girls in front of us. They were being typical high schoolers, loud, you know...Anyway, they were loud the whole time we were on line and I knew I didn't want to ride with them, but I never vocalized my feelings.

After watching the pre-show, my youngest daughter became apprehensive about riding. Well, it was our turn to get into the immediate queue for the cars, and I told my husband I didn't want to ride with the teenagers, but he said, oh, c'mon. (the girls didn't hear me, I whispered it to him) So we get on.

We're in the front seat of the car and the girls are behind us. The ride didn't even start yet and they're screaming bloody murder. My youngest was starting to cry that she didn't want to go on, she's scared, etc. and I'm trying to soothe her. Before we even left the platform, I turned to the girls and nicely said, can you please stop screaming like that? You're making my daughter cry..Just then the ride started.

Do you know what those little B*&#$@s did? THEY LEANED FORWARD AS MUCH AS THEY COULD TOWARD MY DAUGHTERS SEAT AND SCREAMED LOUDER - THE WHOLE FRIGGIN RIDE!!!!

So my daughter has out and out lost it. You know how that ride is, and I turned back to the girls and was yelling at them to shut up, but we're all bumpin' and jerkin' and I didn't want to get whiplash, so I turned back around.
That whole ride was the most miserable ride we've ever ridden.

So when the ride was over, our family got off first and we were at the stairwell starting to ascend when the girls ran over and started shoving us out of the way!!! Well, they got past my husband and my other daughter, and I didn't realize what was going on since they were stampeding like a bunch of bulls, but when I feel a stranger touch me in any way, especially in a rough way, I react. I felt like I was under attack and my elbow went back and jabbed whomever in their body...The girls quickly backed off.

I immediately went to guest services (my daughter was still crying) and I was told that there were a couple of local high schools visiting and there was nothing they could do. In fact, I didn't even get a genuine "I'm sorry for your negative experience". I got this look like, lady, give me a break.

Right after that I told my girls if I EVER see or hear that they're harrassing a little kid or a family or anyone they would incur my wrath. I always had respect for my elders, and why the heck would I want to scare the heck out of a stranger's kid?

I really forgot about that because we've had soooo many excellent experiences while vacationing at Disney. We've had other little things, but I think that was the worst. I hope it's the last!

The elbow was great! Another one is to put your foot out, and down they go! You put a sad face on and say, "I am SO sorry" gets 'em every time....

 

[Darian]

My sister got fondled on HM at DL in the stretching room. The guy slid his hand down the front of her shirt and she elbowed him. He apologized (when he got his breath back) and said he thought she was his wife. Riiiiiiiiight.

Oh, and Darian, I've never been afraid of any other characters but Pluto and the evil queen from SW. My kids were scared spitless by Jafar; you should have seen his hands. His fingers were extra long and bony, with a "cadaverous pallor". DD was 3 y.o. and backpedaled like a bat out of you-know-where when she saw him.

Hi dwheatl!!! I wanted to add that I feel terrible about your poor sister getting groped in HM. Did she call over a cast member? Yeah sure the groper thought it was his wife. I wonder if he was even with a woman....?

Being a guy I never worried about something like that happening to me, but someone grabbed my behind in the stretching room while it was pitch black. To this day I don't even know which gender got me! The horror....

Oooooh mitros, you're a mean one! Hahahah I LOVE IT! You are definitly MY kind of DIS'er!!

And don't forget to accidently step on toes and then do the sad face with apology routine. Thats a sweet move too! I here by grant you membership in the Illicit Order of Courtesy Enforcement at Disney. Welcome to the organization. I know you will do us proud.

The same goes for Corryn --who battled teenage brats and won.

And we must mention LiteBrite who protected her dad's injured leg from bestial children with a feral mother.

Also poor Deebo who defended herself from the groping fingers of a five year old boy pervert in training. (Who, judging from his age knew perfectly well what he was doing.)

As my late grandmother once said to me "Darian, Courtesy is the oil which lubricates the gears of society. Take that oil away and the machine breaks down. Courtesy is the true mark of the civilized person." That and ball room dancing. But thats not really relevant here.

Arise my fellow DIS'ers! Go forth and be courteous in the face of the rude and selfish line cutting hoards. We CAN make a difference!

Thank you ....I just meant in the times we live in with all these diseases.....And with all the money people spend on a trip, we don't need someone being so negligent as to make other people get their sickness, ruining their trip.
One of my friends that I used to work with has AIDS, and right before she got sick, we used to share a Coke at lunch every day. Of course, I was worried. But it's been a while now and I'm healthy (and she's still kickin').

And Darian, I am honored to be a member of The Illicit Order of Courtesy Enforcement at Disney! Thank You

Welcome to the Illicit Order, Corryn! I'm not worried about catching AIDS from casual contact either.

I think you do have an excellent point about about catching the flu, a cold or any one of a hundred other illnesses that can make a vacation miserable from inconsiderate people. How much fun can a deathly ill child have puking their way around the parks, or while burning up with a fever? Does anyone else think its cruel to do that to a child, when they should be in bed resting?

I personally resent parents who drag sick suffering kids along to contaminate others at the park. My immune system is almost non-existent due to my bout with cancer and having almost every single lymph node in my body removed. Sure it saved my life, but now if a sick person even comes near me I usually end up catching it. And it takes an extra long time to get well. DW and I use hand sanitizer almost constantly while at WDW. That really seems to help keep the disease bugs at bay. Oh and never, ever touch your face.

Yea, I would not have been mortified if my child threw up unexpectedly, but in this situation, I would have been mortified by my own sheer stupidity. Who gives mac n' cheese to a child that's been vomiting? ::insert "duh" icon here::

I must comment here because one of my children is a puker. He's usually not sick when it happens but certain textures can make him puke. It's gotten better as he gets older. Sometimes he can eat something and be fine with it and the next time his eyes start to tear automatically. He can't control it. He just has a really bad gag reflex. We are so used to it that we are never embarrassed but we are courteous. We clean everything up (even did it on a plane! ) He knows to run to a garbage can/potty/ etc. if he can. Obviously this family knew the kid was sick so yes, they are were pretty stupid and mean in my opinion to force feed the kid mac and cheese. We were on the bus to AK on our last trip and this little boy all of a sudden starting throwing up. The poor parents were not prepared (most of us aren't) and we felt so bad for them. My dh gave them a bag of wipes to help them out and any napkins that we had. We've been through it so often that we always have supplies. We never leave a mess for anyone. Although one time my ds threw up in Target and they wouldn't let me clean it. I kept insisting and they refused to let me clean it. Those people that left the mess and didn't even apologize at Fantasmic were just plain rude.

 

[Lizzybee]

Yeah my DD8 threw up at school last year because another girl mixed up all of her hot lunch together, then ate it, spit it out and ate it again. Gross? Yes, but just seeing made my DD8 toss her lunch. If a bathroom smells bad, if she cries too much (or gets too much attention while drama crying), if the texture, taste or smell of the food doesn't agree with her, if she gets too much food in her mouth...she may puke. Fortunately, she has really great aim. They drew new district lines this year so she's switching schools, I already let them know about her. She doesn't do it all the time, but usually she isn't even sick. Even so, I'd be completely mortified if she actually hit someone with the vomit and I would NEVER think to not clean it up. I would most definitely apologize profusely if someone got puked on. I mean c'mon, sick or not sick, accident or poor choice, getting puked on under any circumstances is just plain nasty. Of course the child didn't mean to do it, but it's just common courtesy to apologize for something like that, an apology isn't necessarily an admission of guilt, it can just mean you feel awful for what happened.

 

[Darian]

All these puking posts have jogged my memory of an unsavory evening DW and I spent at Disneyland, CA.

It was New Years Eve and the evening was fairly cool. Disneyland was packed with people counting down the year. A lot of young people in their tuxes and their girls in evening dresses made for a very festive atmosphere in the park. Unfortunately a good many of these young people had been drinking. Heavily drinking.

I had the brilliant idea of taking the monorail around to the Hotel to see what the crowds were like. But once there we decided to stay on. Five young people entered our monorail car. Two young men in tuxes and three lovely ladies in their evening dresses. All the windows were up and at that time you couldn't roll them down even if you wanted to. The importance of this simple fact will become evidident shortly. No sooner had the monorail left the station, one girl projectile vomited all over the door and it's window. She and her comrades were drunk to the gills. She quickly passed into unconciousness as she continued to puke on herself. I was amazed that she was still sitting up after all the bourbon she puked up. And soon two of her other friends were likewise vomiting. I believe that before our vomit train reached the Tommorowland Station half our compartment was puking and the girl who started it all had her strapless dress slip down so her "superstructure" was exposed. That poor girl.

Oh yes, how did I know it was bourbon? From the distinctive smell that permeated every square inch of the monorail car. All the windows were up and there was no escape from that acrid stench. We were trapped like rats on a little board awash in a great sea of vomit.

DW and I vowed never ever to do Disneyland on New Years Eve again!

She didn't report it. She never did see a wife with the guy.
Oh, and I love the Alice ride too. Last time we were at DL my DH and I went on Alice without the kids. I heard a CM say to another CM, "Watch the monitor" and nod towards us. I guess my DH of 21 years and I looked ready for some mad passion or mischief or something. If only!

That is so nasty! When I was pregnant with my DD and my son was 1 y.o. we stayed at a budget motel to go to DL. We were in the pool with another couple with their son, about the same age. They were doing a game, and when mom blew in the son's face, he would hold his breath and she would dunk him under water. I thought, gosh, I hope my son's not behind because he doesn't know how to hold his breath. Next thing I know, the family has left the pool and we're on our own. After playing in the water for about ten minutes, I notice an orange/brown substance (think "Caddyshack) floating by. We quickly hop out of the pool, and I check my DS' diaper, but it's not from him! That family left when their kid did #2 in the water, and didn't have the courtesy to tell us. I thought, my kid can't hold his breath, but at least he doesn't poo in the water!
Fast forward to the next day. We're on POTC where the pirate ship is firing on the fort, and suddenly I know I'm going to vomit. I know it's from poo kid, because I didn't have any morning sickness with my DD. So anyway, I have to think fast, because we're only ten minutes through a twenty minute ride, and my lunch is coming up. I quickly decided that in the boat was easier to clean up than the closed water system of the ride. I barfed on my shoes, finished the ride, and let a CM know when we got out. He told me it happens all the time, and they pulled the boat offline for cleaning.

There used to be a CM at DL at the Country Bear Jamboree (hat over heart with head bowed in mourning) who would ask guests to move all the way to the end of the bench and not use flash photography, then would tell us all that if our neighbors did not cooperate, to be sure to step on their toes as we passed them to move down the bench, and to put our hands over the lens when they lifted their camera for the next flash picture.

I have had this happen but with the guys grabbing at my behind. (Not any more I guess I am getting too old)
I am one of those people that swing first and ask questions later. I was lucky enough to give a hard right cross to a couple of those idiots. They don't think it is so funny to explain to security why a 20-something (at the time) is trying to deck them. I was always taught to never pick a fight but to stand up for yourself. Not letting someone take liberty's with you sure seemed to fit the bill.

Darian, I think I can be in the club too.
