Admit it, you've been that rude guest!

[fairytalelover]

Lol, I wasn't expecting anyone to agree with what I did. I was giving an example of a time I was rude and did something I shouldn't have, not confessing to being an unrepentant bus hogger and encouraging others to adopt my wicked ways.

I'm guessing you've never once in your life ever done anything thoughtless, inconsiderate or rude, because if you had, you'd have undoubtedly understood the intent of my of my post. I admire your moral fortitude!

I'm not perfect but I do make sure that I am not incosiderate and disrespectful i.e jumping ahead of others who were waiting for the bus too.....I just believe in Karma and that crap will come and bite me in the butt. I also cant stand people who cut in line and I have seen parents do it along with their kids, not just kids.

 

[IceSkatingPrincess]

I... I want you to take me to disney. Can I get cali grill window seats, and the fireworks party on the 4th? My goodness, can you summon santa and the easter bunny too? At this point, I'd like to know the legal ramifications of getting adopted.

lol might be hard for a 22 year old girl to adopt (;

I'm glad some people see the value in my extreme planning [with not even 60 days notice...)! I got no appreciation or thanks, none. I was very butthurt over it.

On the 4th we did Space Mountain (x2), Buzz (x2), BTMR, Pooh (x2), HM, Dumbo, JC (x2), first ones on PP, SDMT, Teacups, Carousel of Progress, Laugh floor, Philharmagic, small world, FoF fp, Little Mermaid, sleepy hollow waffles, BOG, and CHH (& I'm sure I am forgetting things!). In at rope drop out an hour after fireworks with plenty of breaks. I thought it was some of my finer work! haha! Plus, we got them military discounts on tickets and let them stay at shades of green with us, as well as we all used my 20% TIW discount. I thought I was a pretty good hostess. Apparently they did not... somehow.

So, uh, I'll be in disney August 18-24... just saying.

I'm sure we have all made numerous bad calls at Disney. Nobody there is completely perfect and courteous 100% of the time. Even if we don't notice ourselves doing things!

Actually, I'd been bouncing anxiously on the curb for most of the wait, while they sat back under the shade. It just happened the bus pulled up and the driver opened his door in front of me, and I said what I did because the only thing I cared about in that moment was making sure my husband didn't miss his favourite ride - Soarin.

When I realized what I'd done, I felt bad for them.

Also, for your future reference, Karma doesn't work like that - it's not a way of ensuring naughtiness gets punished and virtue gets rewarded - at least, not in this lifetime. It's just the sum of your actions in this and previous states of existance, which will affect all your future existences. And given how fortunate my life has been and continues to be, my Karma must be pretty darn good.

Oh I'll see you on that one and raise you one. I have done that EVEN WHEN MY KIDS ARE NOT WITH ME, yep adult only trip and your snowflake isn't getting that 3 inches in front of me. oh yeah I'm THAT person.

Well... Last night I was in line to order at Sleepy Hollow. A little boy with dollar bills in his hand came past me and the man in front of me, and looked inside at the counter (like you sometimes do, to decide whether you want to wait in line for whatever). Then when he actually opened his mouth to order - - this is a little boy, remember-- both the man and I leaned in and said in chorus "There's a LINE!" He looked startled and ran off. I felt bad afterwards, later when I looked at the end of the line and didn't see him. I think we scared him off. So I guess you shouldn't send any snowflakes to get in front of me, either.

I'll just add that I've been getting obnoxious lately when people just have to be together on a ride with their whoevers, who happen to be 3 or 4 or 8 people in front of me. As they squeeze by, I've been starting to murmur, "Gee, maybe the people up there could join you back here, behind me..." I have to get over it, I know, but this trip it's been bugging me a lot. And I've been rude about it.

 

[DisneyGuy758]

That isn't being rude. That's assault. If you do that with a car, too, you wouldn't be driving long.

If I'm driving, and someone cuts me off because they can't wait an extra second, and I hit them, guess who's at fault. I have never intentionally hit someone with my stroller (or my car). People need to be aware of their surroundings where ever they are. Take a quick look around before you move, I do. I don't know how many times I've had people back up into me at the grocery store because they don't look before they move.

 

[akaDaddy]

Huffed when someone clipped my ankle with their stroller - Check

Said "excuse me, my family was here first" when they try to get in front of me at the parade - Check

Rolled my eyes "loudly" when the family of twelve comes to a dead stop at the opening of the bottleneck for a picture (using all thirty seven cameras, phones, MP3 players they have) in front of a plant. - Check

Said "No, that's not correct" sternly to a cast member / wait staff who was trying get me to buy / pay for something our family didn't want. - Check (multiple)

I don't quite consider that being rude, although others may. I have always tried to treat everyone by my father's sage advice. Treat everyone with the highest level of respect you can muster until they have proven to you they don't deserve it.

I've had several family members and friends who have worked as Castmember. Their stories would cover the moon and make your toes curl.

There are few jobs harder than those in direct contact with the hopes and wishes of the general public. Couple that with the built in expectation that this is Disney; "the best service company in the world" and you are ripe for disappointment. That said, I know it is very easy for us all to forget that we are not the only family on vacation and the cast members aren't on vacation at all.

Not taking any sides here but just saying I don't have peole jump out in front of my car the same way people push in front of strollers and expect then to stop on a dime.
My stroller all loaded up weights about 50+kgs that sucker isnt stopping because you want to shoot the gap I am leaving between it and the people in front of us.
Really if you want to compare it to driving, I am leaving a gap between me and the car ahead of me so when they break I dont hit them, then you without indicating try to fit into the gap and are angry that I hit you...who would insurance find at fault...you

 

[mummabear]

Cutting through groups because you think they are too slow is rud

Depends-is the group being rude by walking 5 people wide taking up the whole path while strolling slowly along?

 

[TwoCortWort]

I am sure I have cut people off or been rude to a smoker who wasn't in the designated areas. But I have been the victim of the rudeness including a guy laying on top of me (pratically) during the FOF parade the last time I was there. Took all I had not to turn around and shove him.

 

[Fastpassminus]

I am overly sensitive to how I treat strangers at Disney. Seriously. The only heels I've ever clipped with our strollers have been because someone was jumping in front of me and I couldn't stop fast enough. And then I still apologize even though it's not my fault they jumped in front of a moving person.

Unfortunately that makes me stressed out so turn into a jerk towards my family...
In 2012 our day at HS started terribly. DHS decided he didnt want to be rushed to RD or follow my plan. And his mom was with us and I swear to you she moves twice as slow when I want to be somewhere at a certain time. So when we were in line at TSMM for 1.5 hours and they were complaining, I kept it bottled up. Long line at RnR, kept my cool. When they wanted to stay at TOT when ONLY DH wanted to ride instead of sit somewhere we could all enjoy something, I started to come unglued and very frustrated. The upset that ensued led to me forgetting to grab our borrowed infant carrier from the beach Id been nursing our baby on. And then we spent 45 minUtes retracing steps and contacting lost and found and me crying over a $100 carrier I would have to replace.

Dh is letting me do RD every day this time because he doesn't want to wait two hours for TSMM ever again. And he knows that if mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. Let me do my thing in the morning and we can be lazy in the afternoons

My MIL does the EXACT SAME thing. Last trip she intentionally walked SLOWER than I have ever seen a human being walk & looked at me witt the smuggest look while we missed our FP plus window for Test Track. Grrrr...

 

[3DisneyFanz]

Not sure about huffing when clipped by a stroller but in HS one time a lady rolled the big wheel of her jogging stroller up my calf my wife turned around and said "An excuse me or an I'm sorry would be nice." After a couple more pleasantries the lady said it was my fault for just (insert universal adjective here) strolling along and not being in a (insert universal adjective here) hurry like everyone else. I finally responded to say "Nice language in front of your kids" to which she replied "They've heard worse". I was at a complete loss at which point her husband just threw up his hands and I laughed and told him I was sorry and we went our seperate ways.

 

[scoobygrl79]

Don't know as I would call it rude but here goes, Last December we were at MK waiting for the Castle lighting and Show so just picture the crowd that has gathered to watch, here goes a lady carrying a box with hot chocolate and food, suddenly yells, "I need to get through, my 5 year old is up there!" Of course me, I tell wife "why would you leave your 5 year old to get hot chocolate" Well the "lady" must have heard me, turned around and said "well, she's with my mother, I didn't just leave her there alone, jeez!" Well obviously you don't trust your mother to watch her, told her good luck getting through the crowd and she says, "I better go before I say something!" I told her good idea your 5 year old is up there!

I can empathize. People use tactics like this all the time to advance in line, get a better spot, etc. It drives me crazy because I'm that type of person who thinks up a huge long strategy to make sure I am NOT the person asking other patrons who have patiently waited a long time to "let me through" or "scooch over" because my party is waiting for me. I'm sure there are scenarios that are beyond control, but still, most of us would happily do this for a SINCERE person, but most of the fakes have tarnished us.

I am usually on my best behavior, even to the point to where I might even accept a bit of abuse, but my two biggest weaknesses to keeping my temper are line jumpers and bus etiquette. Line jumpers: 'nuff said. However, with buses...I know everyone is tired and did their part to show up early, and you never know anyone's situation like perhaps they recently had surgery on their foot etc, but I have a soft spot for moms very late in their pregnancy and them not having a spot to sit. Yes, I do realize they are on their way to or from a park where they will (or just did) spend the better part of hours and hours on their feet, but I can't help it. Them and those with tiny kiddos that I'm sure would have a hard struggle to remain balanced in the event that the bus driver had to suddenly brake or take sharp turns. I've never been pregnant at Disney, but I've had my little guys (2, 3, so on) that I couldnt carry because the bus was too crowded and my entire ride was full of misery and anxiety from fear they'd topple over and get hurt if the bus made sudden movements/or stops. I will always get up for those two types and make my family members do so too. I know I know

 

[CampbellzSoup]

Honestly I have NEVER been a rude guest. I always make sure others are having a good time too so I avoid some kind of confrontation being the nice one.

On the 4th we did Space Mountain (x2), Buzz (x2), BTMR, Pooh (x2), HM, Dumbo, JC (x2), first ones on PP, SDMT, Teacups, Carousel of Progress, Laugh floor, Philharmagic, small world, FoF fp, Little Mermaid, sleepy hollow waffles, BOG, and CHH (& I'm sure I am forgetting things!).... I thought I was a pretty good hostess. Apparently they did not... somehow.

It was probably Laugh Floor that did it.

Weirdly enough, it was a favorite. At that point it was an anything air conditioned is amazing situation!

 

[Jhondy210]

I've been the rude guest before:

It was new years eve many many years ago and my friend, my sister, and I were waiting in an extremely long line in Soarin'. We were in the cement ramp part where it's just mass chaos and you are supposed to fill in all available space. This group in front of us had 3 feet of empty space in front of them and they weren't moving….so my sister, friend, I went around them. They yelled at us for skipping and we told them we were just filling in all available space like you are supposed to. They told us that moving 3 feet isn't going to get us on the ride any faster and we retorted with it might. In the end we let them go back in front of us. From that point on they kept looking back at us and whispering…It was at this point we should have let it go but us being young and foolish we started making comments back to them. It wasn't a good moment.

The other rude moment I can think is when I was with my family. My siblings were just making fun of everyone and everything. We were sitting on the curb waiting for the parade and there was a cast member who was singing all the songs and dancing. She was so happy! My siblings started making fun of her and I just had enough! I yelled at them and stormed off. The next day, I was still mad and ended up leaving my family to tour the parks by myself. My parents joined me half way through the day and apologized for ruining my vacation because they know I love WDW.

 

[buttercup14]

closest i've come is accidentally walking in the exit of a QS counter to order, i was tired and it was really quiet, only one other person ordering, the CM made me go back in the right way (quiet rightly too) but was still really nice to me once i came back around, i felt quiet embarrassed though. I try to be conscious of not being rude though
