Hey, I love reading this stuff, been away for ages, but having a good read and needed to comment.
As for talking, i dont have a problem with discrete converstation regarding the attraction, but LOUD normal chat drives me INSANE. I love people enjoying themselves as long as it doesn't stop others from doing so. People reacting to the stretch room in HM is great. It lifts the mood and is different every time. But talking about what to do next, that is not acceptable.
Last year in WDW I had a few occasions where I quietly and calmly told the other guest to "cram it!". Like another poster, on Pirates I had a woman on a cell phone, in the queue, talking loudly. I simply told her this wasn't the time or the place. Sure, she was pissed, who was I to tell her what to do? But like everyone around, we all paid good money to have a good time. Leave real life behind for a little while. It isn't much to ask.
As for the language barrier, I only had one experience. In line for something (can't remember what) their was a family of 4 standing behind me. They were really close and touching me (mainly the kids but the parents didn't give them any room). I don't want to be touched in line. All this time they were talking, loudly, in Spanish. They could have been talking about the attraction, but I couldn't tell. I gave the kids a few chances to stop touching/pushing me, but eventually had to turn and tell them to quit it. I also added that they could keep the noise down. They made gestures that they didn't understand what I was saying and continued to talk LOUDLY and push/touch me. I turned around moved the family BACK made large arm gestures to show the space between us and made it very clear not to cross it. I then added a huge SSSSSHHHHHHH. Other people in line were grinning ear to ear. They kept their distance and kept the noise down.
I don't enjoy telling people to shut up, but it seems there are so few of us out there that will pull people up for bad behaviour. I will continue to do it as long as there are rude people out there. Also, it saves a CM having to do it and stay within the guidlines. They can complain to City Hall about me, but whats it gonna do? I don't work there.

Re: Talking durring attractions.
Nice. So lets just delete shit.
On behalf of the "GUEST" population of the world, I would like to apologize to all Cast Member's that have encountered a rude guest. We are working hard to weed out the ungrateful and replace them with buttons that don't work.
