Soarin' Line Cutter's

[soupy11]

There you go. Please pass me a over here on the return motion.

Okay, we're one post closer to 300 and a mod shut-down! Woo hoo.

Oh (just to disguise this post as something other than a shameless bump), as I said about 230 posts ago, I agree with the OP in that it was wrong for line cutters to shove their way to the front of the line.

Editing to add: I'm the 300th post!!!!!! Woo hoo!

err 300? one more to go! ooooppsss 301 and the thread lives on!!!!!!!! GO LINE CUTTERS GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

err 299? one more to go! ooooppsss 300

Semantics! If you look out at the thread list that shows total posts, I was 300. I was only the 299th response, though.

Okay, now this monster has reached 302 total posts and 301 responses. But hey, it's added to my over-inflated personal post total!

Oh, and line-cutting is just wrong.

Edit: oops. 303 total and 302 responses.

Semantics!

Oh, and line-cutting is just wrong.

Unless a child is going to pee on your shoe....right?

I have really enjoyed reading this thread. I also did not realize how many people out there have bad manner and think they are special until I came to this website. For the most part everyone on here is extremely helpful and nice, but I happened to tell my bad disney experience on another thread and I could not believe the response. My family took a once in a lifetime trip to disney, when my daughter was 7. We were going over spring break and knew the parks would be terrible (with all the people), so we knew there were somethings we would be able to see and others we would not have time for. So we created a list of our must see things and made sure we got to do all of them. One was the night time parade on mainstreet in the MK. We arrived 2 hours early to get a spot, and at that point the street was already filling up. CMs had roped off the street and the lines were already 2 deep for a spot. So everyone in our party stood in our spots for those 2 hours before the parade to ensure we could see. When the parade started, the lines were probably 5 people deep and from the street to the shops were filled with people. A very rude man (in my opinion) shoved his way up behind me and proceeded to ask if his son could stand in front of me, where my daughter was standing. I told him absolutely not. I was not about to give up my spot or ask my child to give up hers so this man's kid could watch the parade. If it was a priority for him he should have had his son their earlier. Anyway, he decided the proper way to deal with my denial of his wish was to yell and swear at me for the entire parade. I was called every foul and awful name you can think of. At one point he was so mad I thought he was going to hit me. I could not believe this guy thought this is the proper behavior to teach his son. He completely blamed me for the fact his child could not see the parade, he certainly was not going to take any responsibility on himself for not finding it important enough to come early and wait to ensure the child could see.
I have a major problem with people like that, the one's who think they are special and everyone should do as they wish. But on the other thread I was told I was in the wrong because I did not give up my spot. I don't understand some people.

I am mistified that someone would tell you that you were wrong for holding your ground. My thought was instead of cursing and yelling at you all he had to do was put his DS on his shoulders and he would have been able to see the parade. Done this with DD many times.

Oh crap too funny! I must admit to liking this thread ( a guilty pleasure) However, if there are those that don't like this thread they can simply unsubmit to the thread and never read it again. I see it as a train wreck, I can't turn away.

Ok, so your opinion is that thread is old, tired, pointless....don't you think others maybe enjoying it? I know I am. Maybe a private message to a mod to review would be the best way to police the boards? Although, the easier thing would be to skip over this thread and read something a little less dull, tired or pointless? I just don't get the need to call out all of the posters in this thread and tell them that their ideas, thoughts and opinions are pointless and tired? Excuse me, only the posters from post 150 and up fall into this category.

And yes, I am desperatley trying to get a last word in...so there....

Word.

A long time ago and far far away I began reading this thread. Several pages back I asked what would be an appropriate response to these line cutters. Haven't heard a word about that. Not little kids that need to pee and come back to stand with Dad. Or those that have a physical limitation that needs to be addressed. I'm talking real live line cutters, the kind that just want to get where they want to go and don't care who they take down to get there. Ya know, like the grandmother who gave the poster on page way,way back the finger because she mentioned there is no Senior Citizen line. What is a good response? Something that conveys " I think your a jerk" without losing a limb or worse. Can you take a Taser into the parks?

They are already doing something wrong (the ones TRUELY cutting as you stated) I don't think you could really have a "nice" exchange with them. If they don't see a problem with cutting, then they probably will have an attitude if you say anything to them -- so be ready for it. I do like your Taser idea though
