Pet Peeves

[luvthemouse71]

My pet peeve is when I go to Disney World and there are other people there too. Especially when they're doing stuff and I notice them. amirite?

Lol...

I am guilty of calling my 4 yr old mama on occasion, no real reason for it either. I also always greet my nephew "hey handsome". My husband is one of those who always waits for the total before he pulls his wallet out. That drives me bonkers and I'm always nudging him to get it out while he's being rung up. Of coure he always gives me a look like what's the rush like he doesn't realize there is a mile long line behind him. My only real peeve has to do with parade crowds. I have 4 kids and we always stake out parade spots early. It never fails that other parents come in last minute and practically sit their children on my kids laps. Also when people throw kids on their shoulders last minute. You think you have a decent view and then bam the person in front of you throws a kid on their shoulders and your last minute scrambling to get a decent view. I know you don't want to hold the child for the whole wait but maybe if you see a shorter person get behind you you could turn around and warn them.

Please, please PLEASE... For the love of all that is pure and holy... do not stop immediately at the top or bottom of an escalator! Or in a doorway. Or just outside of an elevator! Pretty please!

I don't know why this bothers me but I can't stand seeing women in high heels at Disney. I know it's not really bothering me personally, but the lack of sense does.

This! Obviously it does nothing to me personally, but why the heck do you want to wear heels around Disney?! So silly.......

It reminds me of a mom I talked to in a pool a few weeks ago (it took ALL my strength not to slap her honestly because I felt SO bad for her little girl) Her kid was swimming and as I passed her table she said, "It has been TWO years since she has been in a pool." and I said, "You have not swam with your kid in two years and she said, "Color treated hair does not get wet"

What a selfish b*tch..........I felt so bad for her kid.

My Biggest Pet Peave concerns the Handicap viewing areas. I can certainly understand a family of four squeezing into the area to be with the person in a wheelchair or ECV, but when they bring their entire family, friends etc. it becomes a problem for the handicap viewers. Those that arrive early that are squished out of the way and the last minute one with the small definately handicap child in a wheelchari trying to find a spot to view the parades.

My pet peeve, not just at Disney is eating in a restaurant next to some guy in a sleeveless tank and their nasty arm pit hair is showing.. Etc.. I don't care if he's tall shirt fat thin it's gross to me. Deodorant clumps in the pit hair yuck! Sweaty pit hair yuck!

To be honest, unless that person is sitting at my table with me,
in my personal space or our "family space", I don't notice things like this.

As long as "hairy deoderant pit guy" isn't shaking his underarms over the buffet table... we're fine.

Pit hair exists, and I am thankful that guys wear deoderant
and if a guy wants to wear a tank because it is hot out, who cares?

Were you wanting all men to shave their pits before wearing tanks?

At some point in life, we have to leave other people to be who they are.
I don't pay much attention to what others are doing or wearing as long as they stay in their own space, behave "normally", and mind their own business.

Of course, I am sure that I personify someone else's pet peeve:
I am fashion-challenged in that I wear my crocs with socks
and I really don't care how it looks

In my experience (being in a wheelchair), the CMs do a fine job of controlling the number of family members in the handicapped viewing areas. Every time we have been there we have seen them asking excess family members to stand at the back or to one side of the roped off area so that more wheelchairs and ECVs can be accommodated. My DH will usually do this even though there are just the 2 of us.These areas are small and hold only a limited number of chairs. Just like in the regular parade viewing areas, if you want to be up front you need to get there early. I really don't care how small your definitely handicapped child is, you can't wait til the last minute to show up.

Glad your ok with it. I just think tanks for older.....past puberty guys in a food establishment is tacky.Tanks, as I was raised are for working out at the gym, in the yard etc., not for eating in at the dinner table. No one said ANYTHING about shaving pits..although many men do "trim" or "shave" some of their pit hair so it's not some bushy mess..PLUS getting rid of the older hair (length), by trimming it a bit helps cut down on odor and reduces sweat. My comment is NO DIFFERENT then people commenting on man ****s, to tight of clothing, people in high heels in the parks etc....DIFFERENT things "bother", or "get noticed" WHATEVER by different people. It's OK that this is a pet peeve of MINE. It doesn't worry me sooooo much that it ruins my meal or vacation it's just a pet peeve... Which is the topic at hand.

BTW Crocs with socks I think is really good and a very comfortable way to get around and NOT just at WDW. Many people wear sandals also with socks. that isn't a pet peeve of mine. BUT I'm sure somewhere in this world someone thinks its wrong.

 

[tony609]

haha...That is true. I will give you that. I am just looking at it from a males perspective. Yea guys, quit shopping at the baby gap and wear shirts that fit you.

Agreed.. Same goes got girls with this new layered look.. Buy shirts that fit your body.. 3 snalls don't make a large....

I'm with you 1000%. People spend way to much time worrying about what others do that doesn't affect them in the slightest. Don't like what it looks like...don't look at it.

Guilty as charged! I love Crocs, but my feet slide around in them so much even though they "fit". I like to wear them with low-cut, moisture wicking white socks.

Did you call the authorities on her? What terrible parenting!

 

[ARAITHEL]

People (especially in the pre show rooms like the stretching room in HM, and the library at TOT) that are incredibly loud and destroy the "magic" for those who might be on the attraction for the first time. Blah.

I'm honestly not sure my mother ever played in the pool with me. She didn't have colour treated hair, she just didn't like swimming (or even being in a swimming pool). Never thought of her as a selfish b*tch and I suspect that that woman's daughter doesn't either (at least, not just because of the swimming thing). I think you can stop feeling "so bad for her kid".

I've been guilty of this in the past (the staring but not asking) - so I'll try to be more careful from now on. I thought I was being helpful by not wasting the CMS time if they didn't have anything I wanted. So I had the best of intents but I hadn't thought about how creepy it might seem.

Oh..I also feel like my personal space is invaded when people grab at my pin lanyeard and it in the same way ends up with them touching my chest. Also when I am ringing up someone and I have grown adults slowly walking by staring at my chest (my pins) and don't even ASK to see them. I feel violated even though that isn't what they intend for it to be..

It isn't creepy, just one person feeling a little paranoid. They wear pins where they are for a reason and there is absolutely no way of knowing what they have for pins without looking. Not to worry. If the young lady (I assume) can't handle it then she has the absolute wrong job. Time to work for McDonalds then they will just be looking at the fries!

Oh and insanely specific and ridiculous pet peeves are my pet peeve. Lol* I mean...we're wearing those matching t-shirts for your viewing pleasure ya know...enjoy it...buddy.

I enjoy seeing groups in matching shirts. Of course I make judgements about them, especially the men. They provide a little extra fun in an already enjoyable day. Thanks for the show, pal!

I think the comment you quoted showed that there was more ugly in the posters heart than that mother who didn't take her kid to the pool. Now THAT is sad.

I'm sure someone has already posted this, but for me it's when I'm waiting in line for quickservice. It's a long line and it's taking FOREVER to get to the counter, soon, you're just two people away from the counter when the person in front of you calls over their 5 kids, spouse, in-laws, and who knows else and now you're RIGHT back where you started. I, personally, will write down everyone's order if I'm ordering for my group and order their meals by myself. This peeve is elevated when it's mid-summer as well.

 

[Talking Hands]

Pet peeves. People who block ramps. Sorry but this wheelchair doesn't go down curbs people.

People who use the back of my wheelchair to prop their kid on for the parade. Unless you are my family or friend don't touch unless invited. And don't let your kid come and sit on my footrest unless I offer it.

People who get upset when a CM seats me in a certain place so I can use the reflective captioning and they need to get by. I'll gladly move my feet so you can pass.

But my biggest pet peeve is CMs who refuse to face me when speaking or try to yell at me from a distance even after I indicate I am hard of hearing. I need to see your full face to understand you and you need to be at a reasonable distance for me to speech read you.
