Have you ever had a shock?

[Missy1961]

Great post! Glad you got the pixie dust there and boo to those 2 for almost ruining it.

I agree, branv, that was an interesting shocker. I am glad you and your DH caught the magic!!! I must say that my first thought about that family is that the mother got the son she deserved. As a mother of 6 boys, 4 of them teenagers--I can say my kids talk to me the way my DH and I talk to them. It doesn't sound anything like you described!

Actually, it sounds like that particular kid talks to his mom the way she talks to him, too. Too bad it's not the way the rest of us want to hear people speaking to each other!

I called my beloved child an ungrateful little snothead! I NEVER do anything like that!

I think most parents could easily imagine the backstory behind that statement!

The closest thing I saw to a "shock" was a woman wearing a one-shoulder top with a regular (i.e., two-strap) bra. I tried to get a picture but I couldn't be inconspicuous.

BUMP

Last year at Mickeys Very Merry Christmas I went for the free cookies for all the family and the CM was serving them on napkins with his bare hand. Too many people to complain, but I did throw the cookies out.

I had a gross shocker last year when I was at MK. It was near closing time, and the fireworks were about to began and my mom and I were trying to get to the exit of the park. Well, the fireworks started and looked back at them when I noticed a man by the Adventureland entrance in front of the small gift wagons, peeing into the bushes. I was staring at him with my mouth open, and was in complete shock, I was like, oh my goodness! Then he finished up and walked away, and I turned to my mom and told her what I saw. When I got back to the hotel to tell my grandma, I laughed so hard! That was my only real shocker I had over the years I went! LOL

About 10 years ago we were at the MK and we had got off splash mountain. Everyone was soaked. Anyway my mom and I went to the bathroom and there was this lady in their with her shorts off standing under the hand dryer trying to get her underwear dry and you could see through it. Not a nice sight. Noone could even get over there. I cant believe I even remember it. I could not have been but 6 or 7.

One thing that I can remember that totally shocked and disgusted me was in Disneyland at Pinocchio's Village Haus restaurant: While me and my cousin were eating this lady came up to the table next to us and put her 2 year old son (poss. older) on the table to change his diaper. Let's just say he had #2 and that he was way too big to be wearing diapers. She also didn't put anything down on the table to protect the innocent people that were going to be eating off that table. Rude and raunchy.

Now, that is gross!

 

[pixiedust23]

gross. if i was a CM and saw that i would make her eat off that table! maybe shed be a little more considerate next time.

 

[pampam]

OK, Pixiedust 23, just how would you make her eat off that table? As I see it, the CM's have a very difficult job, being courteous to all, even though some guests can be so rude and inconsiderate to others.

ok no need to attack me. all i'm saying is someone should make her eat there or make her sanatize it. jeez!

 

[pampam]

pixiedust23, I appologize. I'm sorry if I offended you. My post was not meant as an attack on you, just trying to visualize how one could make someone do anything. If it didn't sound like that, then I am deeply sorry.

 

[PhotobearSam]

I actually would love to see CM's go up to someone doing the changing of the baby and direct them to a washroom just as some do to smokers and direct them to a smoking section...Some people just need things to be pointed out to them.


As for being oblivious, I am guilty.

While at Disney with Wenabre (disname of my buddy here on the DIS), she saw a woman slap her daughter hard on the face and I did not see it at all...We were not even through the gates at MK yet...Awful way for the poor little girl to start her day.

As for me, if anyone saw a lady holding a camera at MK in early December near the hub and trying not to pass out...THAT WAS ME!!! A bird pooped on my hand from above and I just about passed out...


I can laugh now but at the time Wendy (wenabre) thought she might have to do CPR... She's a nurse and very helpful on vacations but I turned green even after the poo was gone but my stomach did not settle for hours even after washing my hands for over 5 minutes straight.

As you can tell, I gross out easily so if I saw someone change a diaper on a table, I would tell that person how unsanitary they are and get a CM to clean the table...I can make someone feel quite small...

 

[pixiedust23]

pampam- no worries. sometimes its very hard in these modern days to understand what people are saying. there are no emotions you cant hear sarcasm...ooo the miscommunications technology causes!

Six sons! We have 4 so far and we are going to try and have at least 2 more children. I used to live for having a daughter, but now I realize what a blessing it is to have so many sons and even if the next 2 are boys again, what a sight we will be. So do you have any daughters?

Nope! No daughters here! I so enjoy the boys! Your darling family reminds me of when my oldest boys were little! My youngest two are 7 and 1 1/2. I can't believe how fast the older ones grew! We are now in the college phase and the diaper phase at the same time! I would NOT have it any other way! I, too, used to waste time hoping for a daughter. I am very content with what I have been been blessed with! Have a wonderful life with those sweet sons!

My wife and I just returned from 8 days at WDW. The biggest thing we saw that shocked us was the number of very young girls playing around pools or in "water attractions" that had no tops on.

I'm lousy at guessing ages, but we saw some girls that my wife said were 10+ years old with only swimming suit bottoms or shorts on. Given the world we live in today, there's no way I'd let a young girl run around like that in public.

We saw 5 or so girls like this at Ariel's Grotto and several more at the pool at AKL.

Ooh that just reminded me of my trip last summer. I was at the Dig Site at Coronado Springs with my two cousins. They are 11 and 12 year old boys. They were absolutely disgusted with a girl who probably was around their age running around the pool with only a bikini bottom on. They thought is was really gross and improper. I don't know what parents think they are doing letting their pre-teen daughters going around topless. They probably made a child molester's dream come true.
