Let your freak flag fly! What would be the point of people watching if all conformed to the Dis standards?

This is too funny!! and also very true. #1 is a pet peeve of mine. People in DW often seem completely unaware of their surroundings and will just randomly stop in the middle of a crowd, map or no map.

I'm not sure this is a DW-specific problem. More of a society in general sort of thing.

Sorry, Betty & Boop need to breathe too. Although the, "Well I never!" stares (which always seem to come from other women) are always funny.

Just quoting this for a couple of reasons. First of all, I understand the concept of Rule #6 from the family park perspective, but at the same time, I never see a problem with Betty & Boop getting the opportunity to breathe.

Second, I love your screen name.

I realize that I have a bit of a twisted sense of humor but our traveling group will be three adults and two older teenages and I had planned on making "WDW Bingo" cards for our group as a joke. I think it will make the people watching more amusing. Who ever bingos first gets a silly prize like a Mickey bar.

I had plans to include items like "Toddler Meltdown" "Wearing a Bellyshirt but Shouldnt" "Mullet Alert" "She Didn't Leave the House in That" etc. This thread has given me some great additions to our list. "Celebrating the Future Hand in Hand Family" "A Daring Baring of Betty and Boop" "Shirtless and Shameless" "Whale Tail" "Main Street Mapreader" "Parade Poacher" "Pixel Police"

Good idea, but what are you going to do to entertain yourselves after you get past the gates???

Maybe these can go with #6 since they pertain to clothing.

Can we add Speedos to the list? I don't care if you're wearing that where you live but at WDW, there are way too many kids and teens that really don't want or need to see THAT. Not to mention it's usually the ones that shouldn't be wearing them that do so I certainly don't want to see it!

Oh, and maybe the tank tops with hairy backs, too. I understand that it's nature and all that, but I don't want it rubbing on me in line when you back into me.

Speedos? Really? I'm going to be careful where I look when I go to WDW

This thread is hilarious! I think that we've all had the feeling that we need to Chlorox our eyes from time to time but the "different" people do make rest time all the more interesting.

I have no problem respecting a person trying to take a picture unless the park is crowded and the subjects are 20 ft or more away from the photographer and they are taking all day to take a picture.

not at all....Had a fun time at the parks with the family last week but somethings just made me shake my head.

The thread is all in good fun, perhaps you sound like a person with no sense of humor?

One head scratcher for me were the people wearing jeans....seriously...denim in 90 degree plus heat with humidity???

I never understand this either!! DH & I took a trip to D.C. last week, and it was scorching hot every day. We were sweating our buns off in shorts and t-shirts/tank tops, and there were many people wearing jeans. It made me sweat more just looking at them!!

That's where the inappropriate shorts come into play. They pack nothing but jeans for the Florida heat and humidity, realize it is ridiculously hot so they go back to the hotel and start hacking away. Next day, voila, daisy dukes with the butt cheeks hanging out. One bad fashion statement leading to another.

I just can't understand it, can you imagine all of the heat those jeans would be holding in?????

I guess it is better than if they just gave up on the pants/shorts all together!

I don't undertstand why this is so unbelievable for people. I wear jeans all the time, even in the summer heat of Florida. They are no hotter for me than having the sun beaming down directly on my bare legs, and (unlike most shorts I've worn) they don't ride up and are not constantly in need of being pulled down in the crotch area. They're 100% cotton, so they're not holding in heat (they 'breathe') and if you've got a really nicely broken-in pair, they're soft and very comfortable and not nearly as hot as they might look. If given a choice between jeans and shorts on a hot day, I'll always choose jeans. The only exception is if I know I'm going on a lot of water rides (flumes, rapids, etc) -- because jeans just do NOT dry quickly ....

Well ... it's not really all in good fun -- it's all about making fun of other people. So ... fun for you, but not so much for the other person, were they to see themselves in one of these posts or overhear something being said. One person's hideous laughable outfit is someone else's perfectly acceptable clothing. Doing an internal eyeroll as you walk by someone, or thinking to yourself "I would never be caught dead in that" is normal human behavior, IMO. Someone making Bingo cards so that they can track the number of people they're making fun of, takes it a bit past that. YMMV

 

[Suellen]

wow.

I can't imagine teaching my family that it is not only fun to make a joke of other people but also making a game out of it.

I am one of those people... but only because my legs have alot of scarring and I NEVER wear shorts even when it's just me and DBF at home. (And I live in AZ!!) you never know, some people have reasons for what they're wearing.

Now THAT is a yummy look, especially on a guy!
