[quote="Ho-say"]LMAO!! Love it......... :D:

Of course, you do realize that karma is somehow going to bite you in the a$$ and it'll turn out she's a FL AP holder and you'll be seeing her as a guest at your real job location any day now ]

True karma would be if you happen to find her at work and you do something similar back to her.

Sneak Preview:

CM: Do they serve Chinese at the China Pavillion?
CM 2: Nope. They started serving Mexican food a month back.

...Sadly, this came from my girlfriend who also works at Coaster...

[Notatourist]

Snipped for your protection
Me: My name is Jim, my manager doesnt work here he works at my job, where I work, which isnt in this grocery store...I DONT WORK HERE!
Her: Well you won't work here when Im done talking to your manager!
Me: (Resisting the urge to whip items at her from the shelves) Thank you I hated working here anyway! HYS

The karma point here is that maybe her last name is Iger....

My HYS for today is very similar to this but does not involve Disney at all.

Me and my partner are at Publix (grocery store). Neither one of us is in costume, but dressed in shorts and polos. He goes one way and I am looking down another ailse. I have a bad habot pf straightening thing without thinking due to disney store brainwashing.

You know, people do this to me all the time. What kills me is I often have a small child with me. Yes, they let me push around my kid in a cart while I work... Duh.

I however never connected this with my years in retail/service. I wonder how often I straighten without thinking about it.

Hi, im not a CM, but a frequent visitor to WDW! I wont stay long as its a forum for you cast members. But this place is SO funny. I have a little story about stupid guests...


We went to WDW last xmas and unfortunately I had dislocated my knee 5 weeks beforehand and only came out of plaster 2 days before we flew, so I had to have one of those electric chair things as i couldnt bend my leg to have a normal one.

I found some guests to be so rude, the way they they kept cutting infront of me, meaning i had to stop suddenly. It annoyed me most after parades!! So fed up I was, i thought 'right - i aint stopping for noone, if u try and cut me up, you get your ankles bashed by the cart!'

Oh how I had fun.... get out of my way or die!!!!

Hey! First time poster here...

I used to work down at what used to be Area 4 attractions in the studios, and I have a few for you guys

- At Indy Epic a guest approached me and asked "Is this a ride?" My answer was: "Nope, this is a stunt show."
Guest: "But is it a ride?"
Me: "The seats do not move, no."
Guest: "So, what kind of ride is this?"
Me: "Ma'am, it's not a ride...It's a show."
Guest: (seemingly getting it, finally) "Ohhh!!!" She pauses for a moment "Does it go upside down?"
Me: (finally fed up) "Yes, the show does go upside down."
Guest: "This is Disney! They should have more rides for children!" (storms off)

-At Star Tours, right before boarding (with a 70 min. standby line)
Guest: "Will this make me sick?"
Me: "Well, are you prone to motion sickness?"
Guest: "A little."
Me: "Then it is a possibility."
Guest: "If I throw up, do I have to clean it up?"
Me: "It's policy on Endor, you know."
Guest: "Wait...what ride is this?"
Me: "Star Tours..."
Guest: "S**t, I thought this was Space Mountain!"
Then he just walked away with his family! You would at least think they would ride after waiting in the standby line!! Hope he found Space Mountain okay in the Studios!

Also a first time poster... and this is not exactly mine, but my Mom used to be a reservationist for WDW. On one of those "take your kid to work" days, she took me and I got to listen in to her calls on a headset set on mute.

This guy called her up and started demanding to know why his travel agent hadn't booked him in the Tower of Terror Hotel. It went something like this...

Mom: Thank you for calling Walt Disney World reservations, this is Lyris, how may I help you? (Lyris was her code name)
Guy: Yeah, hi, ummm, listen, I have no idea why my TA didn't book me in this hotel, but I'd like to make a reservation at the 'Tower of Terror'
Me: (since I am on mute and he can't hear me) Huh?
Mom: I... beg your pardon? You want to stay where?
Guy: THE TOWER OF TERROR, ARE YOU DEAF??
Mom: Sir, it's a ride, it's an attraction at one of the parks, it's not really a hotel...
Guy: THE SIGN SAYS IT'S A HOTEL, WHY WON'T YOU PEOPLE BOOK ME THERE?? FOR THE LOVE OF GOD IT'S MY VACATION... (Etc, etc, etc...)

After about 15 minutes of ranting and raving and demanding my mom's boss to get on the phone, she says...

Mom: Fine, I will connect you to the Tower hotel, right now, please hold.

*Mom looks at me, winks, and promptly hits the 'Disconnect' button*

And that's my stupid guest trick! :D:

[IndyandMarion]

That was great. Oh if we all had a disconnect button for all of those stupid questions...

Unfortunately, the second book has been pushed back. I came down with a SEVERE case of food poisoning over the week and I haven't had a chance to do one thing with the book. Don't worry. I'll still have it out in October, just don't know when.

I think that qualifies as way too much information. But do feel better.
