Aside from crazy parents dragging their kids around (in similar sense) but I hate when parents drag their kids screaming on to rides that the kids don't want to go on... and when they get scared, they spazz out at the kid. In my year and few months with the company, I have learned sooooo much about parenting. One time I saw a kid being physically restrained by the parent (at Pirates). I was in our control tower, and the two cast members at our load consoles both called and said that they weren't comfortable sending the boat. We eventually kicked the family off the ride.

There are tactics to get around this! Parents, do your homework before you come and talk to your kids!!!

I hate that too! Because then we either have to 1) go through a 20-minute show with a screaming child, or 2) have to contact our loader and have someone come out to get them off (which takes several minutes).
