Okay, this is not Disney related in anyway, but just thought it was too funny

When I was younger like 7 or 8 my mom used to be a court reporter in our small town.

Every Thursdaa or wednesday night, my dad would take me and DB to court to sit in the courtroom to listen to all the crazy stories..there were some good ones, not that I can remember.

Well, there was this old man called Old Hopper that was always in trouble for something or another..

Well, all of sudden......You hear...'Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeppp....and it Stank!!!" (it was my dad)

So, my dad goes and looks at OLD Man Hopper and make a face and points at him, to put the blame on him...

Well, you know how kids are, especically little ones...., I go"' Ew Daddy, you are disgusting!!!"

It was loud enough that even the judge could hear...

My dad was so embarassed and I saw my mom cracking up while trying to type the transcript of what was going on..

Kids say the Darndest things!!!

OMG I remember that. Judge Keyko just looked like he was going to lose it and I don't know how I made it through that night. I lost track of the case I was logging and screwed up the paperwork. Glad no one appealed it as I could never have used that log for proof of anything but a big glast of gas. LOL

I posted this over in the "Bad Planning" thread, but thought it would be good here too.

This was my DH's most embarassing moment...

First a little background. We had originally planned to stay at the AKL with Savannah view. When we got there, they said that there was water damage to many of the rooms, and we had a choice of either staying at the Polynesian at the same price or a non-savannah view at a lower price and maybe we got a day free also. We opted for the Poly, as I usually don't want to spend that much. So far so good. We had a lovely vacation even though it was Easter week.

So here comes the not planned part...since we were taking the Magical Express bus back to the airport, we could check in to the airline at the hotel (good thing we could!). "I'm sorry sir, we have no record of a flight for you today." What?! Turns out my husband had booked on-line and had made our day of departure the same as our day of arrival. So for example, we left on April 8th and he had booked the return flight also for April 8th. Probably a result of the defaults on the airline site.

Of course this isn't just any day, this is Easter! No there are no flights out tonight. Tomorrow is the best we can do. No problem, it is not a disaster to have to stay at Disney another day. What's that Poly? You want us to pay Rack Rate since we are a walk-up customer? Oh no thanks. So we booked at the Port Orleans (our usual hotel which was funny as we always stay there and even when we try not to, we still stayed there.) Of course we had run out of tickets so we went to DTD or something that day.

Recently we were planning our next vacation and I had made a small mistake with the passenger names on our reservation and my husband said something snarky about it. I had to tell him that he is never to speak of airline mistakes! He then got a sheepish look.

On topic - They started going to Disney World after I got married so I never got to witness their WDW escapades but Dad used to tell the story of how she backed the motorhome over someone's pink plastic flamingo at Fort Wilderness. Then they had to go all over Orlando hunting for another pink flamingo even though the 'flattened flamingo' family insisted it wasn't important. Mom said it was "camping ethics" or something. Dad is gone now so Mom won't admit to much of this today of course but my sister and two brothers who lived through it with her are still around to tell the dead flamingo tale and others!

LOL that is so funny! 'flattened flamingo'

OH Man....your DH must have been so embarassed...


But, it will give you leverage in any future arguments.....

Last month I was with DD at MK and we went to the Ice Cream Parlor to buy 2 ice cream cones.

The lady gives me the 2 cones and the ice cream is kind of soft, so I lick one cone and the ice cream falls off!!! I was so embarrased, and the moment I lift my face I see the other ice cream is missing too!!! How I managed to loose 2 ice creams in less that 5 seconds, I will never understand

Of course I was really embarrased and cleaned up my mess as best as possible.

They we so nice to give me 2 extra ice creams, but of course they gave them to me in a cup instead of a cone

And DD 4 was soooo sweet about how it was an accident and I shouldn´t feel bad that really made me feel worse thinking what I would have told her if she had lost the ice creams like that, lol.

Nothing worse than loss of cone control. They put the ice cream in a cup?!?!

We were at Ak for our last day in WDW. We had just made it into the park when DH said he needed to go to the bathroom. So DD, DGM and I went over to the little viewing areas to look at the birds while we waited. DD commented about wanting to feed the birds like at the zoo. I replied "No sweetie you can't do that here, what if a bird pooped on your head" And yup just as the words came out of my mouth a bird pooped on my head. And I do believe he has just eaten his "Thanksgiving Fest". I of course headed to the bathroom to try and clean up. The looks on the other womens faces as I stuck my head under the facet was priceless. Not to mention the fact that they are motion sensors which made it so nice to try and wash up and wave my hand to get it to work.

we made a stop at the nearest shop to buy me a new shrit and HAT!!!

 

[keahgirl8]

I could add but i dont know if i wanna embarass myself....


Ok Im not one for big dips, NOR for not knowing whats comming. My Dsis (jerk) and my Dcuz (BIGGER JERK) convince me that the pirates of the carribean ride would be fun and only have one dip. Well, They get on the ride, im laughing and having fun. First dip. I was ok. Got to the second one and Im darn near having a panic attack. Theres a little 5 year old in front of me whos just looking at me like I got a screw loose. Well then we get to the end. I see the big up-hill. Well that was it for me, Im darn near crying, treatening to pass out and clammoring that I cant breathe. I mean what goes up must come down right? Well, We got off, im freaked and crying and they had the gaul to laugh!!!

Hey anyone ever been to noahs ark? Got a story on that one too.

Okay, I only laugh at this one because I nearly did the same thing. I had been on Pirates at DL a million times. If I remember correctly, there's only one drop, right? So I'm on the one at WDW for the first time, solo mind you, and when I got to the second drop, I'm screaming bloody murder like I'm on TOT! I'm sure people on the ride with me thought I was insane!

I have a bad knee that swells if I stay on it to long . I was on my 5th day in WDW with a friend and at this point she was pushing me in a wheelchair with my leg proped up and a ice bag on it . She had parked me by the strollers and went into the CP to check us in for our ADR. I was sitting there worn out and bummed that she was having to push me . ( she is 5' in shoes LOL I am 5'8 I look silly in the chair anyway !with her pushing)
I had been watching this cute little squirrel go from stroller to stroller looking for food in the bottom of the baskets. He was starving or so it seemed he would stop and look up at me and sit up on his hind legs . He looked cute and harmless I tell ya !
When she came back out I asked her to dig in my backpack for some PB crackers I had in there so I could feed him . She handed me the crackers and told me it was not a good idea. I threw one on the ground, he didnt want that one . So I put one in my hand and stuck it out as far as I could for him to take . HE JUMPED in my lap and I screamed some not so nice words he started scratching me and then bit me on my hand as I screamed and tried to swat him out of my lap . He would leave and I couldnt stand up because of the knee LOL I did get him out of my lap while yelling out the whole time "Get out of my Bleeping lap you bleeping nasty bleeping sqiurrel. You filthy bleeping beast" Yeah you guys know how in front of CP they have that Kodak spot where people video and take pictures . Well all accross America there are videos of me doing this because oh I would say 50 people at least turned thier video cameras on me .
To this day I expect it to pop up on Americas Funniest Videos.

I rode Splash Mountain for the first time with my family and some friends who'd been to Disney 20 times. The ride got stuck and I was under the waterfall getting drenched for a very long time. Finally got off that ride and got on Thunder Mountain. Kind friend told me this was a water ride too. So I put on a poncho and every time a "big dip" came, I screamed and put my head down and threw my arms over my head. I felt like a total idiot when the ride stopped...

 

[keahgirl8]

Okay, that is hilarious. Does anyone on DIS have that video?

Oh, I can totally empathize! My first time through Splash I was caught off guard by that double-dip when you go into bre'r rabbit's laughing place - I wasn't quite trying to crawl out of the log but I was pretty freaked. Why didn't anyone warn me?

Though a quick clarification for those who read that and are worried about their memories (like I was) - DL's Pirates has the double drop and the waterfall you go up. WDW's Pirates just has one longer drop and you get off before going up the waterfall. That always bothers this DL-raised girl since the waterfalls act like the "time machine" and so, by that logic, you're forever stuck in the Pirate World in WDW. Of course, that's not necessarily a bad thing...

And I finally remembered my embarrassing story. Two years ago we had a Magical Gathering (or whatever it's called) with my extended family in the World. Good idea, had a great time over all ... but there are a few things you have to know about my fam. First is the generation divide. My parents and their siblings are the Adults. Their children are the Kids. The fact that some of the Kids are married doesn't matter at all. They are Kids and as Kids they are expected to go along with the plans the Adults make and rush to greet characters with childish glee. Ok, so maybe that second one happens anyway. The second fact is that, for the First Few Days of a group trip, we're expected to travel and think as a Group. Decisions are made by a Group Council presided over by the Adults. Thank heavens after those First Few Days everyone realizes how crazy this is and the whole system gets tanked ... it's just surviving those first few days.

So that's the setting. It's still in the First Few Days and we're in the MK and I, my brother, and a cousin decide we want to go to Disney Quest for the afternoon. We've all got ressies for dinner at some place in DTD (forgive me, for I have forgotten where) and so it makes sense for the Kids who want to go to go and meet the Adults at dinner. Right? Oh, no. This requires a Group Council and one of the Voting Adults is in the bathroom. Another decides she wants to pop in that shop "just for a moment." So when bathroomed Adult shows up, shopping Adult is still missing. Another Adult tried to escape for some other diversion (probably to ride all three mountains, two dark rides, and write a best-seller the way that day was going) but the Kids managed to convince her to stay. I can neither confirm nor deny that any threats to her favorite Character were made at that time. Twenty or so minutes later a quorum is assembled, the minutes are read and a motion is brought up that the Kids might need an Adult to go with them. Issue - I'm 25, and my brother, the youngest of the Kids who want to go, is 19. So we lobbied against this on the basis of our ages qualifying us for temporary Adult status for the purpose of Disney Questing. Some adults agree, some still feel we need a real Adult. A few other motions are raised at this point, sidetracking the original point, and I'm showing off all of my mature 25 years by having a near temper-tantrum. Hm. Thinking back that might not have been the best way try and prove my temporary Adult status. My brother finally gives up, buys me a Mickey bar, and literally sticks it in my mouth mid argument. Those things work wonders, let me tell ya. Finally the motion to let the Kids go alone is passed and the next motion is raised - which Adult will drive the Kids to DTD? Because, of course, we can’t get from one end of the World to the other without loosing ourselves. The two Adults with cars both think the other should either drive the Kids or at least give us the keys. I completely loose it at this point (the effect of the Mickey bar was, unfortunately, temporary and a second one had not been applied in time) and tell them, with very grown up stomping and screaming, that we are Adults too and we're fully capable of using Disney Transportation to get around the World. With that compelling argument (coupled, perhaps, with the Kids giving up and starting to walk to the MK entrance) the Adults pass the motion to let us try. Triumphant, we proudly marched to the bus terminal.

No bus to DTD. Why had no one told us about that?

Ah, well, we're Adults; we can take the monorail over to the TTC and get a bus there.

Did YOU know that there's no bus to DTD from the TTC? Well, there isn't.

Feeling a little less like Adults we decide the lack of MK to DTD busses is a fluke and take the monorail over to Epcot. Sitting in the front of the monorail (it was going to be empty if we didn't) made us feel more like Kids than Adults but it was fun. I'm not sure what effect the lady who rode with us telling us all the best places to smoke pot in the World had. So we get to Epcot. Still no bus to DTD. So we make a pact. We will get on the next resort bus that pulls up and not give up until we have REACHED DTD. Now the smart thing would have been to get on a Saratoga Springs bus and just walk from there to DTD. Or POR and take a boat. What do we do? Stick by our plan and wind up getting a scenic tour of OKW. That's one heck of a big resort, let me tell ya. And the lobby is the LAST of about four thousand stops. It only takes another 45 minutes (ok, maybe a little less) for the DTD bus to show up. We MADE it!!! And it only took us 4 hours! At this point we're only an hour away from our dinner ressies and none of us are really feeling up to games of adventure and skill for some reason. So we had our own little Council and voted instead to hit the shops instead.

The worst part of the whole ordeal was meeting up with the Adults (who, fortunately, only had another day left in their reign of The First Few Days) and admitting we never did get to Disney Quest.

Ok, maybe this is confession: Good for the soul. I have never told anyone this but here goes. It was not at Disney but at home. I woke up in the morning and remembered that I needed to mail something. This was when mail deposited in the morning would go out the very same day. I grabbed my jeans and put them on and a shirt and ran out of the house – thinking I would come home and get properly dressed for work. I went into the lobby of the post office to mail my letter and a cleaning man was working. He said “Lady, I think you have a problem” and handed me my night gown. It had gotten caught in the back of my pants. I thanked him and I and my nightgown left the post office. You are the first person I have ever told this story to, it happened about 25 years ago.

Ok now I feel better.

Okay I fell off the couch laughing at this one.

Hahahaha that's so funny. That would be something that I would do.

Back when I was like 13, I used to love sneaking up behind my mom and scaring her. It was like the thing to do.

So we're in the Emporium in the MK, and I went off to shop a little on my own. I thought what I saw was my mom looking at some clothes, so I snuck up behind her, grabbed her around the waist, and went BOO!

The woman screams at the top of her lungs, turns around... and that's when I realized it wasn't my mother. I was mortified.

OOOOHHHHHHHH my good lord. This is so me. I'm 28 and my mom is in her late 50's and i always scare her. I laughed so hard,tried to call my mom's house (upstairs) to tell DBF to come read this and she hung up on me twice thinking I was a prank caller just laughing!! After, i composed myself for 2 seconds and told her to read something... She loved it thanks!

 

[Mrs. Nesbit]

All of these stories remind me of when my family decided to take an afternoon rest at our hotel after a morning at MGM. We were the only ones in line at our bus stop (thankfully!) when my younger sister announced that she had to pee. My mom asked her if she could hold it until we got to the hotel. She promptly began to scream, "IM GUNNA PEE! IM GUNNA PEE! IM GUNNA PEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!" We all watched in horror as a river of pee flowed down the side walk.
