We saw this one lady yelling at her kid outside Dinosaur and she said "I'm so mad I want to spit in your face" to a kid that couldn't have been older than 3. It really bothered me.

My personal favorite is the person who runs to the line to put his/her arm out to stop everybody else so the remainder of his/her party of 10 can get in line ahead of you...as if my wife and I were going to put them "behind schedule" by getting there first. Then again, I think it's funny that they need to rush that fast to get in car 24 on Buzz rather than car 26...![]()
... Well , she really got mad then and called her posse and they all followed me and my kids around after the parade until I told a cast member about it. I guess they were trying to scare me. It made my oldest child nervous the rest of the night.![]()

Neutral on that one... If it's one or two things, or not so obvious things, or mostly pointing... or younger kids I could see it. But as you describe it that would be over the top.
I only jumped in becuase of your post... I've never had the nerve, but thought it would be fun to to this. Explain stuff to my wife loudly... and be all totally fake. Just act like a know-it-all but be totally off. "You know, the Castle used to be over there" On POTC... "you know that's all real gold" TOT "This used to be a Holiday Inn"
I posted this on another board and I still stick by it......parents who feel the need to give a running commentary to their kids on every ride.
I never realized how much this happens and how annoying it is until my most recent trip. For example: We were on Pirates of the Caribbean and I had a dad with two kids behind me(probably around 6 or 7 yrs old). This was the dad...."Oh, look at the scary skeleton blowing in the wind......ooh, look at the big pirate ships, they are shooting at each other. Oooh, look at the pirate sleeping with the pigs....and look over there, it's Jack Sparrow....I wonder what he's doing there? Now look at the dog outside the cell...they want his key but he won't give it to them.....oooh, look it's Capt. Jack again. Where did he get all that money?"
What kind of parent would ever, ever say that to their child? I swear, they should have random Child Services agents walking around WDW, maybe then parents wouldn't act like animals.
Woops! Sorry. I do that with my son all the time when we go somewhere or when we are at the store or anything. I'll point out something and ask him questions about it. Just to explain why though, he is 2 years old and really learning to talk right now and form sentences and speech therapists tell parents to engage the kids in conversation. This helps them learn to communicate better. Asking questions about what they are seeing can help develop verbal skills and creative thinking as well. However, I understand that might be very annoying to another adult. I'll try to remember on our trip with our son not to do that

I think it's a little different with a 2-year-old, as opposed to a 6 or 7-year old.At 6 or 7, you should be able to understand what's going on for yourself. Or ask questions if you need to. You don't need a parent to explain it all to you.

Very true. I agree. Maybe the man was scared of the ride and he felt the need to talk to calm himself down![]()
2) Grown men who watched me several different times my last Mommy/Daughter trip struggle to stand in the aisle on the bus and hold up my just turned 3 year old from falling down. I know it was my choice to get on the bus in the first place... but the lines were long and all the buses were crowded. Could a guy at least let me little girl sit down? Any guy??
3) When a cashier opened up a new line at the Pop Century food court, a guy in back of me ran over to in line (me) go first. (It was one of the same guys who watched me struggle to keep my daughter from falling on the bus by the way - figures)
That is strictly un-patriotic!The people that stop in the middle of the row annoy me.
