Oh bother! I ruined *another* vacation.

[DragonFox98]

Sorry you had a rough day, Main Streeter. Wish I could make it better. I will admit that I had gone into Le Chapeau (sp?) on our last trip to get hats, but when I found out they wouldn't be ready for 45 minutes, I decided against it (we were headed out of the park). No four letter words were spoken to the CMs (to myself....that's another story), no spewing hateful things. Hey, it was totally my fault. I should have hit the shop on our way INTO the park and I forgot I wanted the hats until we were on our way out.

I'm so sorry, though. If it makes you guys feel any better there are SGs everywhere....in every kind of business. I just took a job as controller for a fuel merchant (think home heating oil delivery). One of my tasks is to collect $$$ from customers with outstanding balances. I had a lady call on Friday (she owed about $300 - not that high of a balance) and asked me what would happen if she didn't pay her bill. I said, "I will take you to court". She said "Really? I thought you would just send me collection letters and then forget about the balance." I was like What?!?!? The woman must be brain-damaged....nope, just a SG in the wilds of South Jersey.

Have a better day today!

It was one of the best examples for the kids that if you treat your server right, they will take better care of you because so many folks treat them poorly.

I constantly tell my children this. I try to live by the Golden Rule as much as possible. When we go to Disney, I tell them the CMs are there working and it's important for us to be as friendly and polite as we can be. Also, it's not like CMs are slave labor....although, I guess SGs believe that they are.

For those mean SG who are on vacation come from a place where the sky is white.

For their vacation, the hotel room is a padded room with pink and white dots. After checking in, you are escourted to your room where the CM's put you in a straight jacket. :twisted:

The balloon? Was it one of ours? If it was, we have the weights. The weights have to be on by law. Edison gets mad when our mylar balloons bets intangled with the power lines. Know, if it was a Denny's balloon, that sucker should be tied to the stroller. If the kid does not want nothing to do with the balloon, go outside and let it go. No SG should be saying the 4 letter words to anyone.

What makes you think we do not have a black list?

Just wondering....

MAPO

wondering?

if you let it be known to the public that you DID have such a thing, and that bad SG behaviour would land you on it, perhaps the spectre of not being able to go to A Disney park because of they way they act might have a positive KITA on them!!

It dosn't have to be an "in your face" type of thing, I just see people becoming more and more SG like in their daily behaviour, and of course that carries over to the "I WILL have fun on my vacation, and woe to anyone that trys to keep me from doing anything I want to do."

I think it would make for a better working enviroment for the CM's, as well as the guests that want a vacation without the same daily crap from a few people that think they are the center of the universe.

..when everyone knows that it is only those of us here on SGT!!

hehehehehe

Pirate! Where have you been, man? Good to see you.

Ugh, Zazu, the behavior I've seen/heard of the past year especially has just made me really wonder if somehow some humans have devolved and they now function withoiut hearts. Or brains for that matter.

Now I'm thinking of B-movie zombies. BRAINS!!!

You old vacation ruiner. That's what you are. Remind me never to stay in your gorgeous, every room is luxurious no matter where on the grounds it is, incredible resort in the most amazing vacation destination in the world.

You might find a way to ruin my vacation too and then I'd never recover.

You ruiner.

Gah, if only these people could see themselves from the outside- and believe me, this is sadly behavior I've seen from my mother on occasion and it still kills me.

Did I ever tell you guys that she had me in tears the night before my wedding to March? She is terrified to fly- she's totally agoraphobic now and only leaves her house if absolutely forced (she hasn't even been to a doctor in 20 years- only the dentist when in pain) we really didn't think she'd make the trip for the wedding.

Well, she did.

After a harrowing flight (only because she was on it otherwise it was flawless) we get to the All Star Sports and check in- and she is complaining about- I am horrified to admit- the colors used to decorate the resort.

The sound byte of the day:

Mother dear: "This is not the Disney I remember!"

My sister: "Mom, you didn't want to pay for the Disney you remember, remember?"

She expected the Values to be just what she'd get at a monorail resort. Yeah. Okay...I'd rather stay at a value resort to be in WDW than a five star spa anywhere else on the planet.

That night, I was so overwhelmed I was just crying and she said to me, once and the only time in my life "I'm sorry I'm such a ***ch." I almost dropped my coffee cup. I said "Mom if you're really sorry please be nice tomorrow?"

Fortunately, she was on best behavior for the wedding itself. Later in the trip though- god I could tell you stories that would have Transportation CM's waking up in a cold sweat.

I am so sorry on behalf of my family for any pain they may have ever caused any CMs ever. I try to do what I can to make up for it! I swear she's the only SG in the family the rest of us are very well behaved.

My mother-in-law will be stopping by tomorrow on a cruise from Australia to Honolulu. The last time she was here the refrigerator magnets rearranged themselves into a pentagram.

My MIL is a wonderful woman......but I'm glad she lives in another state! ;)
I will never be able to live up to her housekeeping standards, for one thing, and I don't want to get into the whole you-are-abusing-my-washer-and-dryer
problem

[Main Streeter]

The balloon? Was it one of ours? If it was, we have the weights.

Was ODV Glass House. Weights don't help when balloons are wrapped around fan blades & btwn lights. If I'd had my way, I would have taken the weight to ODV Cart & gotten a new free balloon. Do this often. Didn't dare leave the SGT with other CMs in shop. :(

Well, let's see...I was called a "Dream Killer" during the first days of the "Year of a Million Dreams" campaign within 30 seconds of answering the phone.

Oh and never forget the guest that ranted at me for 30 minutes after going through another CM for 15 minutes before the CM called me out. I finally told him after offering the available solutions during those 30 minutes, "Sir, I do Magic...nor Miracles". He shut up and and left without any of my solutions. :D:

Oh and I will tell you I ruined a number of graduations too. Yup, mean old me enforced the policies and lots of Mommies and Daddies will not be going to see their kid graduate. Some are visiting the great State of Florida to bail their lil angel out too. You gotta love Grad Nite...your first glimpse of the leaders of tomorrow.

MAPO

Oooo! Grad Nite stories! Do tell! Do Tell!

[drcorey]

HEY! The guest standing behind me just farted!
my vacation is ruined and I want a full do over or a refund! :D:
they need a special room visit from Capt. BO!
