Have you ever had a shock?

[tc]

A little off topic, this happened at my garage sale this weekend. A mom and two daughters were standing in front of my daughter's car. I could see their upper bodies. The older daughter was holding her jacket up to sheild the little girl from on-coming traffic. The, from under the bumper, I saw a little trickle. The little girl pee'd in front of the car, with mom standing (and laughing) right there. They didn't speak English, but they knew what they were doing was inappropriate. I didn't say anything, but when Kimmi came out, and I told her, she was so mad. She said she would have said something for sure.

Some people, geez!

First of all, I hate to see this hilarious thread die, and secondly, I have three new ones to add to the bunch!

When I was around 12 or so, we were leaving MGM, a little girl, probably five or so, was walking out in front of us with her parents. It had been raining all day, so we, and they, were all wearing our ponchos. There were HUGE puddles everywhere, and this little girl was landing in all of them, singing that old commercial jingle "I feel like chicken tonight, like chicken tonight!" Quite possibly one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

In March, on my boyfriend's first trip, my grandmother (grandparents went with us) had just recently had her knee replaced, and we tried to stay behind her leaving the parks...my grandfather held her hand, and blocked one side, and we held hands and centered ourselves behind her to try to keep people from being able to run into her. In front of her, however, was a man and his wife, with one of those massively heavy double strollers. We were almost to the train station at MK to go through and leave, and there's a slight downward slope right near the ramp. This man LET GO completely of the stroller, and mowed down two people in front of him. HE LAUGHED. Did NOT apologize in the slightest. Thank goodness that wasn't my grandmother was all I could think. If I had been one of those people I would have said something. I still fume when I think about him laughing...

Ok, in May, we were eating at Cosmic Ray's. Now, don't get me wrong, we used to bring in our lunch, so I'm not complaining about that. However, when we did, we always just found a nice shady bench and ate our lunch there. OUTSIDE. There was this HUGE family in CR's though, spread out over about three tables, with coolers and eating their lunch. Did I mention it was one of those days when it's unbearably hot outside and there aren't enough tables for the paying customers of the restaurant? So yeah, they're eating AND they're using the toppings bar to make salads of the lettuce, top their sandwiches, etc. WITHOUT PAYING A DIME to the restaurant! I couldn't believe it! They were loud, their kids were punching us, and they each went to the toppings bar (the adults) at least twice, some of them men three times! I just couldn't imagine doing this...

Ok, there's mine, I hope there are soon more!

I saw a woman feeding her newborn baby with a cigarette dangling out of her mouth right over the baby's face. I couldn't help myself but to go over to her and say, "excuse me, but if the ashes fall off of that cigarette, they're going to fall right on your baby's face". To which she replied, "OMG, I didn't even notice", upon which time she put out the cigarette. I just don't understand what would possess her to light up in the first place while she's feeding her baby

 

[WDWAurora]

TOO FUNNY! I cannot believe her reaction! At least she did put it out and didn't say anything rude to you I suppose, but still, that's crazy!

 

[Poohnatic]

TiggerPiglet,

Thank you for saying something to that mom. I have several burns on my hands from cigarettes. Do I, or did I ever smoke? No, they're from when I was a kid and my mom got careless.

Maybe your words will help that mom think twice about holding child and smoking a cigarette.

Last weekend we went to BB and TL and at both parks we saw people changing clothes ON the beach. It was not the first time we have seen it either. In fact I guess its going to be a shock to go to one of the water parks and NOT see someone changing out in the open.

 

[TiggerPiglet]

WDWAurora, no, she was not rude to me, in fact, she seemed really embarrassed.
Suzanne, I'm sorry about what happened to you. It is amazing how people just don't think and put their children in harm's way.

 

[WDWAurora]

Yeah, I started thinking about how it probably came off wrong when I said it was funny...I was trying to say I'm glad she was embarrassed and I hope what you said to her was what she needed to make her know that that is an absolutely RIDICULOUS behavior...More like funny WEIRD...but I think you guys knew what I meant. Anybody got any more good shocks out there?

We've never seen any one thing that was so horrible, but I for one am tired of watching people change their kids diaper anywhere. We have been on boats, buses, waiting in line, you name it! It's even worse when it's a "dirty" one. It's amazing how common courtosy goes out the window. People seem to think they paid so much to be there that they are entitled to what they please. Yuck!

 

[JoNo]

I've got one for you... When I was switching parking from Epcot to MGM, I got out and there was a LOADED diaper, right by this person's car. I don't know if they had left it there, or someone else did, but it was still disgusting!

 

[vellamint]

dont know what made me remember it now but on our trip last year the men went one way (Disneyquest) while us women went another (Fantasyland).

So the lines were not that bad and my daughters wanted to do the Teacups. This ride is NOT for me and know it so I wait by the line until it is their turn and then run around to videotape them and take a picture (they were 7). I get a great picture and then this woman and little girl proceed to get into my daughters teacup!!!!

Now I am not even thinking about saying anything because I figure what the heck...we dont own the teacups and there IS room for more....but I DO tell the woman that one of my daughters will get sick if they spin the cup (because she does sometimes....let me tell you about the time she was on the swing ride at a local park right after a cherry snocone....poor people on the ground). She waves to me as if to indicate dont worry about it.....and I took that to mean that she would NOT spin the Teacup.

Well guess what.....her and her daughter had a great time spinning that cup as hard as they could .... I wish my baby hurled all over her!!!!! What a rude, inconsiderate "B@%^$%" and I feel sorry for the next person that even attempts to get on a ride with my children.

NASTY, NASTY, NASTY and I hope you are reading these boards you selfish witch!!!!!!!!


Sorry everyone else....everytime I remember this I start to fume!!!!!!!!!

 

[WDWAurora]

That's horrible! I can't believe someone would do that. I mean, even if there's more room, generally your teacup is your teacup. Then to spin it, knowing your daughter will get sick? I know they wanted to have fun, but at the same time, they didn't have to ride in that teacup. Craziness. I'm glad she managed not to get sick, despite the spinning.

I would have let that lady have it! Some people just don't give a hoot about anyone but themselves. I could never do that to someone's kids.

You're obviously more patient than I am when it comes to people like that. If she had told me she wouldn't spin the cup, and then did it anyway, we would have had words at the exit...and I would have called her something worse than a witch!

 

[Belle5]

I can't believe they got into an occupied tea cup! Even if one person is in it I think it is considered full and strangers can't pile in next to them! Am I wrong? I would hate if I put a couple of my kids on a tea cup and then strangers pushed in! I would have grabbed a CM and asked if they are allowed to do that. (Although, I do understand sometimes you're unprepared for these surprises and aren't sure how to handle it that quickly.)

I don't know exactly where in MK this happened, but a bird had swooped down and stolen a woman's hotdog and somehow she had managed to catch the bird by the leg. She was standing there, just holding onto the bird's leg, while the bird was thrashing around trying to get away! Meanwhile, another park visitor was screaming "LET GO OF THE BIRD, LET GO OF THE BIRD". The lady finally let go of the dang bird!! I don't know what she hoped to accomplish by holding onto the bird's leg--I mean, was she going to take the hotdog out of its beak and eat it??? I'm surprised she didn't get a good pecking from that bird!!!

Hi, I have just read this story and nearly choked on my supper where I laughed so much
I am from the UK and it reminded me of when me and my husband Paul were at the then Discovery Island.
We had bought some lunch and settled down at the one of the benches to eat, Paul decided that he needed to use the bathroom and left me sat alone.
This elderly gentleman came up to me and said" excuse me , I don't care very much for your partner's eating manners"
I couldn't understand what he meant until he pointed his finger next to me only to find this huge buzzard-like bird eating my husband's lunch.!!!
This thing was inches away from me but I was admiring the scenery and did not notice!!

Okay I admit it, we do not change our children's diapers in the bathroom at Disney. They are noisy, dirty, hot etc (not Disney's fault, just normal traffic). If we are near the baby centers I change there. If not I walk to a desolute section out of the way of any traffic, and with the family standing guard I change the baby in their stroller. We bring lots of extra bags to seal the soiled diaper, and deposit in trash cans far from the main drag.

Despite our precautions I am amazed by the number of curious people. NO matter how far iout of the way I go (behind the great movie ride near employee entrance, way behind the shops on main street, bench hidden by bushes way across from Safari etc) someone always has to come over and investigate. I guess they think we found some secret attraction in the park. I actually had a couple of strangers get mad because they followed us all the way behind the Great Movie Ride, and we somehow wasted their time.

So if you ever come upon a mom and a stroller hiding somewhere, don't look (or smell)

I though of another one! When DH and I were taking the Keys to The Kingdom tour we had to go behind the scenes near Splash Mountain where the parade comes out. As our group of about 20 was heading back there we all spy a lady lying on a blanket with her husband and child nursing. Except this boy was about 6 or 7 years old! They just got up quickly and left.

Worst scene was the Columbian family that cut in line at Thunder Mountain. When confronted by a CM, dad denied cutting. CM, who must have been all of 18 yo and 115lbs soaking wet, held his ground. Then dad starts this whole scene at the top of his lungs on how he has been offended and that the CM has cast shame on him and his family. It was like a scene out of Scarface, Pacino accent and all. Obviously waiting in line was not something that dad was used to doing.

Just curious how you knew they were Columbian? Did he say so?
