Line cheaters and what I did about it

[Candleshoe]

I would burst out laughing if I heard someone say that in line. Bonus points if it was said while waiting in line for Splash or Thunder Mountain.

Bonus points if it were said with a Brooklyn accent.

There is no need to do it in a rude manner. Take a tip from Southerners--Why Bless Your Heart, I Bet You Missed This Little Ol Line We Are All On.

FTFY

Hes getting dogpiled because there are already threads along this same line. And idc if you speak up just do it in an assertive way rather than being rude about it. Line cutters might bother you but what bothers me more is rude line bullys who decide they are the moral police.

And yet we have dozens of threads on why FP+ is good/bad, making ADRs at 180s, and many on the Disneyland measels outbreak...personally, I just am chill about people posting a thread that is similar to another one on the board...I don't let it bother me, if I don't want to read it, I don't click it.

I have a question. I can see where you are coming from about how you should still use manners when pointing out that someone should not and does not have the right to cut in front of you in line. Do you have an idea of how to politely point out that someone is doing something wrong? Would saying, "excuse me, you were not in line and need to go to the end and wait like everyone else" be okay to you?

Yes I think that perfectly acceptable for what its worth. Ive never had a problem with people being assertive in any situation in life. Its the people who decide other people are being rude and are even more rude to them in telling them they are being rude. Or the people who stand there and make rude comments for everyone to hear just to, idk, I really have no idea why you would make a rude comment just for fun. I was brought up you might not like everyones actions but everyone might not like yours so always practice kindness and give people the benefit of the doubt. Its worked very well for my family thus far.

As an FYI the Moderators will join the threads together, if they see both are the same, at some point. You really don't need to step in. And telling other posters how to post is not going to make you any friends on the Dis.

Thank you for pointing that out. As you can see I am not as active on this site, as most of the rest of you here.
That being said, the moderators wouldn't have to step in so much if people would be more considerate. It's not like that other thread isn't on the first page - and that many here aren't aware of its presence. And yes you are allowed to post whatever you want (have at it!!), but I would again ask people to be considerate. When people purposefully create duplicate threads it makes it harder to sort through and take notice of other threads. Imagine if 10 other people posted on this same topic(at the same time)- tell me you wouldnt be a bit put off?

You mean like they do for FP+??? Duplicate posts happen. The Dis has Moderators. Part of their job is to clean up duplicate posts, and to warn people when they are out of line. Let them do their jobs.

Sorry maybe we have a different set of manners, but I'm not one to intentionally (key word here) create more work for others...

WTG. I agree...it's completely annoying to be waiting for a long time in a line and then for several adults to come barging through the line because they can't be bothered to stand in line with the rest of their party. And telling a CM most of the time is useless because they either don't care, or by the time they find out about it, it's too late for them to do anything.

Seriously?

Do you know what the best thing to do is when posts start to really annoy you is? Back away from the computer. Telling other posters they are posting wrong is not going to get you anywhere.

@maxiesmom

You're right, I'm sorry I brought your manners into question that wasn't nice of me. But I will say that I was a bit offended by your posts to me - just because I don't have hundreds or thousands of posts here doesnt mean I don't get to have a voice here either. I would tell you to follow your own advice and ignore posters you don't like either.

Until they make me a moderator (which, let's admit, is probably never gonna happen) - at which point, I can moderate to my hearts content - I guess I'll follow your advice and shut my mouth. All I was trying to say in my first post, was that I wish people would be nicer and more considerate to others...

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

I was giving you the benefit of the doubt at first. Which is why the gentle warning that other posters, while if a Mod told them to pipe down would do so, might not react the same way when that admonishment comes from another poster. I was trying to help. You simply cannot badger people into posting "nicer". But honestly, now your posts seem a bit passive aggressive. Which is neither nice nor considerate. So Et Tu, Mickey?

Which is pretty much what happens when one poster tries to tell the rest to be nice. The whole thing falls into the gutter. Get why I was trying to warn you not to do it now? It is a no win situation.

I'm sorry I misinterpreted your posts then - the fault lies on my shoulders. Im not trying to be passive agressive, I was trying to apologize and smooth things over (which I apparently did rather badly).

So let me say again (and I do mean this genuinely): I'm sorry!! Lesson learned!

No problem! But in all seriousness, if a post or a thread really starts to get on your nerves, click off of it. I know it is hard to do (trust me, I know) but it is best for your own sanity. Sometimes it is best to let things carry on without you.

Thanks! I was literally in tears over here, worried that I came across as a total biotch (you can probably guess I'm a bit sensitive)! I'll try to follow your advice though, and stick to the less hot topic threads! Hope you have a magical rest of your day!!

For those of you who are the "take matters in to your own hands" kind of people. Be careful with that, you never know what kind of nutter you may be crossing. I've seen it happen. Not at WDW but on the Disney Cruise. It was a stupid mess and those near the scuffle were stuck because it was so crowded.

 

[Planogirl]

Let's see....

In this thread we have line police and rudeness police and even posting police. The only thing I don't see is a moderator but I imagine that we will.

By the way, bravo OP!

Hi, bravo for saying no to those trying to cut in line. A girl tried to cut in front of us last week and I instead invited her friend to step backward in line to join her which she did. The girl even thanked me. I really think she wanted to stand by her friend and was willing to go back to her when she saw I wouldn't let the friend cut. We don' t have to be rude, mad, or worked up, but we can say no.
