So what bothers you at WDW that may not bother anyone else???

[Sargeant Tibbs]

Also, why is it "Kuh-RIB-ee-in Beach", but "Pirates of the Kar-ih-BEE-in"?

Oddly enough It's the under-educated Pirates who have it right.

Buggest pet peeves are:
1) getting run over by a stroller, scooter or wheelchair because the person driving is not paying attention (true story: last trip I wound up in a wheelchair for the rest of the day at Epcot due to a wheelchair crashing into my ankle)
2) not getting a seat on the bus
3) people being rude in general (i.e. hyperactive people at AK who can't wait 5 seconds to look at the tigers and smash you body up against glass and walk off like they don't care...another true story)

What doesn't really bother me: waiting in line (let's face it: waiting in line at Disney beats any day at work!)

Happens to me too!!! Drives me insane! Just like another poster has indicated, I stopped moving out of the way altogether. When I see them making an effort to move, I make an effort too. If not, i guess we're bumping shoulders. Its childish but I dont care.


ho, my cheese? Anyway, thats pretty creepy of woody.


Yes, I agree, irritating! However, its a bonus for me. I take the opportunity to go on the empty side![/QUOTE]

Be prepared for the uniformed to go ape crap on you for cutting.

without a doubt, people using ipads as cameras completely baffles me... how oblivious do you have to be to think that other people want to watch a parade or fireworks display through your gigantic tablet instead of in real life??... during our last visit in 2012 I told the idiot in front of me at wishes holding the ipad that if she didn't put it down she was going to record 20 minutes worth of me calling her an *** ****... she got the hint...

 

[ton80]

One more... When people put their kids on a harness? woof,woof... Really ????

I thought too until I had a runner on my hands. In a crowded place like Disney, it was a lifesaver. I could actually look around and enjoy things as opposed to only having my eyes focused on my child.

I thought this was supposed to be a thread about stuff that bothers you but not others. It's turning into an "everybody hates _____" thread. I mean, getting run into by strollers, rude people, people cutting in line. Is there anyone who isn't bothered by that?

 

[Rhetts1stWDW]

My pet peeve: People stopping to consult their war plan in the middle of the side walk. Move off to the side, there are ample spots to stop and chat.

More than a couple of complaints here about groups walking side by side and taking up the whole walkway. Just to counter that point, We travel in a smallish group my husband, myself, our toddler and an infant. I push baby in the stroller and hubby carries the toddler. Why do people think it is okay to push through us? Why can't I walk beside my husband while we enjoy our vacation together? I can't count the number of times someone or groups of someones push between my husband and our stroller completely separating us.

I've done this many times and nobody ever said a thing. In fact, the uniformed often shout out "use both sides please!".

good for you for speaking up. That bothers me too. out of all things, a freakin ipad!!! Ever heard of a smartphone?

 

[Dis703]

Families or groups that walk 4,5,6 or more abreast and block most of the walkway.

And at a snails pace! This drove me nuts on our trip we just got back from. The walkway could be 12 feet wide and a family or group would take up 10+ feet and barely be moving.

Oh crap. Not uniformed, uninformed.

Some beast on her honeymoon (I assume since she was wearing bride ears) went crazy on my elderly mother for doing this. It got kind of ugly.

Heelies...remember them lol?

oh, the uninformed! haha. Wow, im just waiting for someone to go nuts on me like they did with your mom. Boy will they be sorry! That bridezilla is clearly very uninformed! Your poor mom. Hope it didnt upset her too much.

yes! My son had a pair. He was a speed demon in them! Once he out grew them he begged for another pair and I said HELL NO!

When the first thing every wait person says to us at a table service restaurant is "are you on the Disney dining plan?" and somehow seems a little miffed/let down/surprised when we tell them that we are not. Why? Do they think we are idiots for not buying the plan? Or such Disney newbs so stupidly unprepared we didn't even know about it? Complete morons that obviously don't get that we could be saving money? Do they think we're going to take too long and not turn the table fast enough? Order too little/tip less? Order some things or have questions about menu items they aren't familiar with, or take a little extra effort? I kind of feel like they're now preparing for us to be the PITA table. I'm sensing a little attitude here, and seriously wonder WHY?

People on attractions that act obnoxiously during the ride. Um, we've all planned and waiting a long time to enjoy this, so don't ruin it! Loud talkers, loud laughers, giving their newb friends a play by play just before each part happens because they are so excited and want to tell them what to watch out for. Worse, loud fighting, bickering, threatening, or complaining. Flash photography. Noises and light from other people's electronics. People who cannot detach from their devices for 3 minutes to be in the moment during an attraction. Seriously people, put it in your pocket or purse!

I'll apologize if you happened to be behind us last Aug. with Woody and Jesse. I happened to tell him that Woody was my dh's first word....ho, my cheese, I had to tell Woody to stop hugging my daughter (19). He just wouldn't quit!!! It was about 4pm in the blazing sun and I know people were starting to grumble Had to tell him to move along!

Do you mean "DD"? If not, you're robbing the cradle since Toy Story came out in 1995 and you have a 19-year old DD .

I just thought of something else that makes me go nuts. When you are waiting for a theater attraction and the CM states that you need to go to the end of the row to accommodate everyone, yet some people will still stop in the middle of the row and just sit down. We all want those seats, but for the sake of being polite, you could move down so everyone doesn't have to crawl over you.

I thought those were the people who wanted me to massage their feet by stepping on them as I go by. Now I know!
