Tipping's become out of hand in our society! I mean I've always tipped people I was supposed to like waiters, bartenders, food delivery people, valets, etc., but it seems like every few months there's new people in your daily life you're expected to tip. I saw a news report the other day that said that not enough people are tipping their mailmen, doormen, gardeners, etc. Service people have crappy jobs at times, but to expect tips from everyone all the time for everything you do is getting out of control for those of us not made of money. I actually had no idea that it was expected for you to tip housekeepers in hotels. Glad I always keep the do not disturb sign up cus I can't afford to be tossing money around constantly (I stay in hotels quite a bit). Plus I always carry my own bags and sometimes have to fight the bellhop off. I rather do things for myself that are so simple than pay people, but that's just me. I guess living in a metropolis in a highrise I have to deal with service people way too much that tipping every single one all the time just seems ridiculous, about as ridiculous as giving a dollar to every begger I pass on the street (which would be at least 20 every time I walk down the street!) /rant off
I'd just like to see people clean up after themselves at parks (or in the world in general). Nothing bothers me more than people who can't throw their garbage into the garbage can or those who won't clean off their table after dining at a counter-service restaurant. I don't expect anyone to scrub their table down, but at least toss the garbage. It's very unappetizing to eat food at a dirty table.
The same goes for the bathrooms. If you drop paper or whatever on the floor, pick it up and flush it. If you're one of those people who ridiculously squats over the toilet and pees all over the seat and themselves cus they're afraid of germs (I guess you're not bothered by the pee that dribbles down your leg or by the pee that someone else is going to sit in cus of you), at least wipe down the seat. And please flush the toilet! Oh and PLEASE wash your hands!!!! You're going to be touching many things throughout the day, no one wants to touch what you've touched after you used the bathroom and didn't wash your hands.
Please don't stick your gum on anything, this includes the ground and especially places to sit! Just throw it in the garbage please. Do you want to touch, step on, or sit on someone else's gum?
If your kids are picking their nose or doing other gross things like spitting, throwing their garbage around, vomiting, etc., please stop them from doing this and then attempt to clean it up or tell a CM about it so they can at least clean it up. Leaving your child's vomit, urine, diapers, etc. anywhere in the park other than the toilet or garbage can is just disgusting. I've seen people or kids vomit and just keep on walking or the parents just ignore it and tell their kids to keep walking, that's just so gross. At least get someone to clean it up and warn others who might end up sitting or walking in it.
If your kids are crying at shows (especially movies!), please take them out! I know your viewing experience might be ruined by having to take your child out of a show, but letting them stay at the show while they scream and cry is ruining hundreds of other people's experience.
Don't stop in traffic, move all the way across the aisle, don't intentionally bang people with your wheelchair,
ecv, or stroller unless you are trying to handicap them as well. I've had people almost knock me over and really hurt my legs banging into me with strollers and stuff. I know it's not usually on purpose but there have been some times where I think it is. And not when I'm standing in anyone's way, just walking with the flow of traffic. Sorry I can't go any faster than the person walking in front of me and the person in front of me can't go any faster than the person walking in front of them, etc.
The whole polite thing to CM's is fine, but I'd just settle for people who don't berate CM's. Verbally abusing some teenager who probably doesn't have anything to do with what you're upset about is just so wrong. I've worked in retail enough to have experienced this way too many times and it makes me sick to see people being extremely mean to those serving them.
If you or your kids tends to get sick on rides, please skip it so you don't ruin the ride for everyone by not only perhaps getting sick on other people but by making the ride slow down or stop for a time so they can clean that car or have to skip the car or take it off the track.
No cutting in line, duh! Please don't hold the place in line for the rest of your party of 10 until you're at the front and then have them all cut in right before you get on the ride.
Don't try and sneak through the fast pass line or something like that. It's just a waste of time for people behind you and the CM's who have to tell you no. I can't tell you how many people I've seen try and sneak through the fast pass line and it just never works.
Please don't get wheelchairs or ecv's if you don't need them. And no I'm not questioning anyone's need, but I've literally known people who have gotten wheelchairs when they did not needed them and even laughed about it. I've never gone to a park with one, but I've had people tell me about doing it. How they avoided so many lines with their wheelchair. I've gone with people who needed the wheelchair and sometimes the line is not faster or more convenient, especially in Epcot...
Don't take up more space than you need...
Don't smoke in line.
And most importantly, DON'T eat the wrap at the counter service restaurants! Whatever the stuff is inside it (tofa maybe?) is nasty!
