Voted for the strollers but it was a toss-up with the stoppers. Man, I just hate it when someone stops right in the middle of the sidewalk/street to check out their map. Or the stroller folks who just have to have all the members of their family on either side of them as they cruise down the street. Or the people who 'don't speak English' at parade time and are being asked to move out of a restricted area. I could keep going, but I won't. It all shows a complete lack of respect and good manners.
 
Oooh, this is a tough one. Some of these really annoy me, others don't bother me at all. Since our October trip will be our last stroller-less for several years I'm sure I'll end up becoming an ankle bumpin' "STROLLER PUSHER" myself, by accident of course. Don't mind the resort mug "ABUSERS", no skin off my nose there. And since we're DVC we're allowed to be pool "HOPPERS", though we rarely go even go to the pool at our own resort so have never taken advantage of that little perk. I can't stand "SITTERS" and I usually say some snide remark loud enough for the people I'm climbing over to hear. I'll have to remember to step on their toes next time, too. "SMOKERS" definitely annoy me. But funny thing, DH's cell phone seems to work best in the designated smoking area at MGM. (Got stuck there for quite a while once while DH was on the phone putting out a fire at work.) Oh yeah, the "FLASHERS" make me mad too. But I also laugh because they don't seem to realize that their pictures won't come out anyway. It makes me feel better to think that they're wasting money on film and developing of pictures taken too far away for the flash to do any good.

Here's one that I think DH would say is his biggest peeve. The wheelchair "ROLLERS". He once got run over by an electric wheelchair and the guy in it just glared at DH like it was his fault. Im excuse me, who ran over who???

DH and I actually saw someone getting kicked out of Downtown Disney once because of wearing a shirt with the "F" word on it. The person tried to argue (obviously not using polite language either) that it was a public place and they didn't have a right to throw him/her out. That argument didn't fly with the Disney "Police".
 
Walkin' through your photo op "WALKERS"
Most of the time, they seem oblivious, so I'll forgive them. ;)

Yellin' in the hotel corridor "YELLERS"
This was my vote. I can tolerate a lot, but don't interrupt my sleep - and PLEASE don't wake up my kids. This was a biggie when they were younger!

"STINKERS" ('nuff said)
Hmm, BO or stink bombs? I guess I don't appreciate either.

Ankle bumpin' "STROLLER PUSHERS"
If they do it on purpose, definitely. I'm looking forward to our stroller-less days because of the people that walk right in front of us and I can't stop fast enough.

Pretendin' they don't see/hear their annoying kid "PRETENDERS"
I'm mixed on this one. Some kids just want attention, even if it's negative. I've people watched enough to see that some parents are just trying to extinguish the bad behavior by not giving the kid the attention he wants and rewarding him when he finally does something right. Of course, if what he or she is doing is dangerous, that's a different story.

Sittin' in the middle of the auditorium "SITTERS"
Yup, that bugs me. Too many people can't follow directions. On our trip in June, though, they didn't make the announcement on AA, HoP or CoP. It makes for a very lop-sided audience! For our second trip through CoP, DH asked if we could enter with the right hand door and was told no. Then the same CM later motioned us to walk past the front row to sit on the far side. Odd. Just make the announcement!

Resort Mug "ABUSERS"
If it were enforced, it might bother me. If they have a CM's approval, I don't care.

Resort Pool "HOPPERS"
As long as I can still swim without feeling crowded, I wouldn't feel a need to report it. Now if their kids were causing a problem, maybe...

No further boarding & The row is full but I can fit "BOARDERS & SQUEEZERS"
Just amusing, especially the ones that are willing to leave half of the family to catch the next tram.

Stoppin' in the middle of a walkway & standin' in the doorway "BLOCKERS & STOPPERS"
Most of them do it without thinking and then move when they realize what they've done. It's the ones that don't move that annoy me.

Holdin' place in line or space at the parade for 20 people "HOLDERS"
If dad is catching up with junior, and the family is still only taking up one honeypot, not a problem. I see it as more of a problem with something like Buzz where just about every person has their own gun. If three people "catch up," then that's three more turns we have to wait.

The biggies for me are inappropriate language (HATE that), talking during shows, and flash photography. These are the things that diminish my enjoyment of my vacation, so these are on my "peeve" list. ::yes::
 
Definetly the people who come to a complete stop in the MIDDLE of a moving crowd!!! They need brake lights as a warning!!!:tongue:
 

I voted for the "Holders"

I don't mind members of the group leaving for a bathroom break or to grab something to eat. But why should someone hoard prime parade viewing spots while the rest of the party are off enjoying rides?

The stroller people bother also me. I saw a lady in MK repeatdly hit a man with stroller after Wishes ended. She was angry because he was walking between her and her young child. The man asked her to stop hitting me and the crazy woman said she would not stop unless he moved from in front of her. :earseek: The man never moved and she never stopped hitting him. I couldn't believe it.

I don't know why the man wouldn't move to the side or why the women just didn't tell her daughter to stop walking and wait for her.:confused3
 
I voted "other"---but, all or some of the above would have been a good choice too.
 
Almost all of the pet peeves, that are listed, annoy me to a varying degree. However, the thing that annoys me the most is the parents who don't make their children behave in an expensive Disney restaurant. I understand that it's WDW, and there are going to be children, but in an expensive restaurant they should be made to act with a bit of civility. :bitelip:

I already voted for the "stoppers and blockers" but I asked my DS-12 what he would pick.

He said he hates it when we are at a character meal and the character is at our table and some kid runs up and tries to take our character away.:(


That reminded me of when we used to wait to see characters in the park and they didn't form a line. It was so annoying to try and get a decent picture. It seems on recent trips Disney is doing a better job of forming a line for character greetings.
 
I picked Sitters, but most annoy me. As RRBB just said, I have been run over by more than 1 wheel chair. I remember once, we were heading to CRT after a parade, the first double-wide stroller rolled over my foot. I was limping all of the way to the restaraunt and for a good bit therfter.
 
Duh, I kept clicking multiple buttons until I realized only one will work. It was a tough choice, DHB, but I picked SITTERS. I'm with BBarb ... my blood boils when people don't listen to the announcement to move to the end of the row. If they listened the first time, we wouldn't have to hear it over and over again! Really screws things up for those of us who know to stand back and let half the people in before us, so WE can end up in the middle legally!!! ;)
 
I picked "Pretenders," because they are everywhere.

What I hate most are the "child abusers." You know, the parents who bring kids who are too young or keep them in the parks too long, then scream at the poor overstimulated, sunburned and/or exhausted little toddlers because they paid so much for this @#$!! trip and the kid had better have fun.
 
What about "TALKERS"?

You know the person who has to talk through the whole ride or show.:mad:

Or the people who have to LOUDLY tell the people they're with what's about to happen next.:rolleyes:
 
I picked HOLDERS. The worst ones yell to their friends "Come on up here, hurry up" and they blatantly cut in front of you. We all hate long lines in the heat. Come on, that is just so rude to me. My second choice would be the stroller pushers. So many seem to think that they should have the right of way and be first no matter what. But for every rude stroller pusher, there seems to be the courteous folks as well. Great list, I would have picked 5 or 6 if allowed:rolleyes:
 
It was hard for me to narrow it down to which one was worse but I chose Stoppers and Blockers.
