Things I learned from my most recent trip...

[penguingirlie]

I love this post!! I know that everytime I go I have to say to myself, it could be worse I could be at work. I try and ignore all the selfish people but some of them really get to me. I don't let adults try and cut in front of everyone else in line. I totally block their way and act as though I don't hear them. (Children and parents are totally different however).

Oh and here is one of my own:

If you are an adult it is okay to run in front of children to get in line. You can run faster than they can and you deserve to be first since you are older.

(I've known skippers who have actually taken a persons cell and proceded to talk to the person on the other end of the phone for a minute or two before hanging up the phone and handing it back to the *astonished* guest.)

I had to laugh at this beacuse I have done this as a teacher. More often than I like, I've had cell phones ring during my class and I will take them, answer it, explain why Susie or Billy can't speak with them right now and then confiscate it for the rest of the day. I especially love it when it's a parent on the other end who doesn't understand why their high school student can't talk to them during their English class.

Don't forget, when the urge hits to get it on with your significant other, there are many different water rides on which to do this. And don't worry. Everyone likes to see you get it on.

When someone leaves an inch between themselves and the rope or rail, that is an invitation to squeeze 3 people in front of them.

And for you photographers, . When taking photos in well travelled areas, stop everyone from walking between you and your subject. Really. The 500 people that stack up behind while you take 5 minutes composing your photo won't mind in the least. And be sure to always use flash photography on rides. Would they really make it dark if they didn't want you to use the flash?

And Men. Only wussies don't like to sit in urine when going #2. So always piss on the seat. And don't forget not to flush the toilet. Everyone likes to see someone else's dump right when they walk in. Oh and don't dream of washing your hands. Only wussies would get sick on your germs.

The CM's love to clean the bathrooms, so always trash the place and get toilet paper all over. Let your kid purposely clog the toilet. The CM's will love you for it. And ladies, some of your items are particularly useful for thie purpose.

Gum Disposal walls are located on most rides. Gum disposal rails and fences are located on all the others.

Your kid is the most loveable in the world. Really. Nobody would ever want you to take her out of California Grill when she's having a complete meltdown.
And if it's a baby, well that diaper stink is the best smell in the world. Everyone digs it. If you can, be sure to change the baby right on the table. It enhances the dining experience so much.

I forgot in my last post this thread, always pay the extra for a double wide battering ram. Hitting two at once gets you double bonus points. Consider bringing a file so as to sharpen up the front. People like it when something digs right into their Achilles.

Here's one:
Make sure to talk very loudly at shows and describe what is happening and what is going to happen. This especially applies to any show that has a surprise in it like the Indiana Jones Stunt Show. There are plenty of people all around you who have never seen it and probably don't like to be surprised. Be sure and point out the "ringer" among the volunteers and be sure to tell everyone within hearing distance who he is and what he will do.
After all, you've seen it before so you might as well tell all

The most important rule is: anyone without children should not even be at WDW, so pushing in front of them in lines, parades or fireworks is acceptable if not encouraged. Your perfectly healthy 15 year old son should never offer his seat to an elderly person on a bus either. After all, your son is much too tired for manners or respect.

All that being said-I still can't wait to go back!!!

Do you mean I have to cancel my trip? No one told me that you couldn't go to WDW if you don't have children. Sheeesh.....I thought WDW was for everyone.

This one is for Smokers.

Please note that only the non-smokers in your family don't like your smoke. All the other non-smokers dig it. So get a non-smoking room and smoke right next to your neighbor's room. It will be oh so pleasant to them when it drifts into their room.

I nearly sprayed my slushie I was drinking through my nose when I read this!!!

I agree, when we go outside our rooms to enjoy the cool crisp CLEAN night air, what we really want is to smell somebodys stinking cigarette.
I guess if ya gotta die of Cancer ya might as well bring a few along with you.
It reminds me of my all time favorite scene in any movie...
Bill and Ted's Excellant Adventure, when the grim reaper is walking through the store and he passes a man choaking and hacking in a big cloud of cigarette smoke... Grim kinda turns toward the man, without missing a step, and says "See you soon" and keeps on walking...

And what about the big wads of chewing tobacco (or "Baccer" as its called in NC) that you have to kick while walking through a beautiful park. On a recent trip my son was laughing, so I looked to see what it was. He was kicking a huge wad of tobacco, and with each kick it got a little smaller. He wouldnt let me let him stop till it was all gone. It was a game to him and he was having a ball!

This thread has been one of the most fun yet, so on a positive note... ya cant let these kind of people get to you... Just grin and go on. If you let them bother you they win. I'm guilty of one of the posts here , so if one of mine offends you, just do what I did. Laugh at yourself, take note of it, and try not to do it again. I'll try not to quote the Haunted Mansion Ghosts Host's speech again.... ya got me... Guilty.

Actually I found this thread kind of sad...

It's like "we here on the DIS are SO much better then everyone else we can make fun of them"

ITA! That one was choice!

- The middle of the road is the only place to hold conversations. I don't mean abruptly stopping to look at the map, I mean just standing in the middle of the road talking.

THIS IS THE WORST!!!!! I can not STAND that!

 

[Race the Reaper]

How about letting your kid urinate on the side of a building or tree in plain view?

 

[DznyLvr2005]

I'm not going to take offense to your post but you should know this. I have 6 tattoos over various part of my body. Only one is visible(a vine with flowers going up the nape of my neck and disappearing into the hair behind my left ear). I'm not heavyset nor do I attend tractor pulls. I work in a hospital as a RN in a cardiology department doing stress testing and echocardiograms.
I do agree with you tho, tats should be discreet and in good taste.

Yes, I also have 6 tattoos. I'm a 29 year old female, newly married (to a guy (cop) that doesn't have any tattoos) I have a good job that pays very well (I'm an office manager at a surgeons office.) Tattoos are covered up at work, and only showing when I wear tank tops and shorts on weekends (or Disney world ). I went to college for art, I love art, I wear art on my body. I'm not a biker chick, a drug dealer, and I as well do not attend "tractor pulls". I get upset when I watch animals getting eaten by other animals on the Discovery channel, I love classical music, Mozart, Bach, Vivaldi....I'm just a normal girl with some tattoos

That sounds kinda hipocritical coming from someone who once made fun of my autistic son; calling him a "spoiled rotten brat". (remember that? I was a different name back then) I guess you are God, and can judge who is mentally challenged and who is just a brat. I wont make anymore replies to you. I'll just ignore you from here on out. Isnt there an ignore button somewhere here?

Hello!

Good to see a fellow tattoo friend. I do get comments from a lot of people when I go grocery shopping. The plus side is that I'm the "cool" mom for my daughter's friends!

haha.. hopfully one day I will be the "cool" mom
I got a "oh cool tattoo" (the rose on my left shoulder) when i was going in for surgery a while ago from the OR nurses.
Do you ever get the "what are you going to do when you're old and have all these tattoos"?
I just tell them, "I'll be old with tattoos and it's not gonna matter when I'm dead, is it!?"

I tell them I'll compare mine with the nurses that are taking care of me!
