'Ohana Last Night.... :|

[DisIm]

So I suppose that the WDW board would be a better place to ask this, but since I'm a teen and I think this may have happened to me because I'm a teen, I thought I'd ask about it here.

It's sort of embarassing, IMO.

Anyway last night I was at 'Ohana in the Polynesian resort. My first time eating there. And they do that thing where they try to get all the kids and adults to get up and dance in front of the fireplace. They also give them leis. You know, flower necklaces. Anyway, when the time came, my sister and dad went over, and I stayed at the table with my mom. So our waitress came over and tried the get me to leave the table and go dance. As she was about to leave, she leaned over to me (well, sort of) and asked "what, you don't want to get 'lei'd' (laid. :|)". I didn't say anything and she left. I was throughly embarrassed and disgusted that a pun like that would make it into a famous WDW dining experience. Anyway the rest of the night went on and la-de-da... she also said it to my sister when she came over to the table again to give my sister a birthday cake and an extra lei (it was her birthday 2 days ago on the 20th, but somehow they knew and brought a cake anyway). But my sister didn't get it, because she doesn't know much about this stuff, even though she just turned 14.

Anyway, maybe I'm taking this too seriously, but I was raised... well, not like others. I have a really strict set of values that aren't religious or anything, but I just like to have them ... Anyway is this a normal thing at 'Ohana or was it just some relatively sick waitress?

Did she say it like she intended it to be a pun?

I probably wouldn't have though anything of it really, I'd realize the pun, but it could be an honest mistake.

I think you are taking it out of context and to far. I don't think anybody at Disney would say something like that and really realize the teenager's twisted mind and how they would take that.

 

[Hollister]

I don't think it was a pun, I would have laughed either way though

 

[Kaler131]

I'm sure she didn't mean to offend you. That's what the act of putting a lei on someone "getting Lei'ed. I have friends who live in Maui, Hawaii and that's what they say.

 

[STOPxmickeytime]

I honestly think it's kinda funny :]
She probably meant it as a pun, I dunno anyone that uses "lei" as a verb... As long as she didn't say it in front of little kids (which I actually still think would be acceptable, since it would just go over their heads, anyway) I think it's fine.

Well, ummm, yeah never happened to me.

Weird
but
funny.

double post

Umm... I know people who do that all the time.
If you go to a Hawaiian themed party, tons of people go up to you and say "so, you wanna get lei'd"
I laughed so hard the first time someone asked me.

 

[DramaQueen]

well... i assume you're a teenaged boy...and she probably thought that sort of humour would appeal to you.

i would laugh my butt off if someone said that to me.
plus, how else are you supposed to phrase that...
"what? you don't want me to put a lei over your neck??"
doesn't have the same ring to it.

but i think you just need to relax a little and maybe not be so uptight...i mean, you ARE on vacation after all??

 

[Tinkerbell424]

I don't think the waitress meant it the way it came out.
If she did, then =/

I couldn't agree more.

 

[AbsoluteAwesome1]

MOST teenage guys would start cracking up at that, from my personal experience. She didn't know you were different than most, then.

I'm 14, too, and I don't think I'd be bothered by that... unless my parents were there. Then I'd be like, "WHY YES I DO INDEED WANT A FLOWER NECKLACE... BECAUSE THAT CANNOT BE INTERPRETED ANY OTHER WAY, CORRECT, LOVING PARENTS?"
She PROBABLY knows what that means... if she goes to school...lol.

 

[BabyPiglet]

I'd laugh, but I guess that's just who I am.

I agree.

Well, um, actually, the vacation was to get away from all that. I mean, in high school, it's a rare day when you don't hear over 10 sexual puns every two hours.

lol....okay....well what i was saying was that you don't need to be so uptight and take a silly little pun (if it was that...) so seriously.
just let something like that roll off your shoulders...especially on vaca!

 

[DisIm]

well it doesn't really matter to me now, but since I ate quite late at 'Ohana, it kind of bothered me all the way into yesterday morning.
