But you know, some guests just have a different time on their watch is all...but they shouldn't ARGUE about it! I remember once, when I came to Disneyland as a guest, with my husband and stepdaughter and a friend of hers and we got FastPasses for Haunted Mansion....well, our watch was like 5 or 6 minutes earlier than Disney Time so they wouldn't let us in and explained why (we didn't ask), so we were fine with that...we cheerfully turned around to find a place to sit down and wait the 5 minutes out...but some REALLY MEAN guest decided to yell to us that we were too stupid to tell time and laughed at us....he thought he was so cool. The thing that made me mad is that isn't not even like we were ARGUING at all...we accepted that we had to wait and turned around to find a place to sit and this guest was totally harassing us about it! I felt like slapping him.
And that's one of the things I also don't take from guests....I refuse to let other guests be rude to or harass my guests and it's happened MANY times. I actually had to tell a guest, who thought he was "helping" me by making rude comments about a confused guest I was helping, that I didn't appreciate him belittleing MY guests and that I could handle the situation better without his snotty comments to them.
"Umm, is that real water? Are the ducks real too???"
I agree with you on that one, but the flip side of it is when a guest is being completely obnoxious or rude and when they finally go away the next guest says something like "what a loser." Those guests make me smile because they at least have some understanding of what we're going through.flippin_mermaid wrote:And that's one of the things I also don't take from guests....I refuse to let other guests be rude to or harass my guests and it's happened MANY times.

Yeah, I understand what you mean....I'm the same way. I like the guests who make comments because they are understanding. But when a guest is just flat out rude to another guest, for no reason, that makes me upset. Like the guests who will come up to me, while I am fully talking with another guest, and they will very rudely interupt and go, "Where's the bathroom?" or "Where's Indiana Jones?"....that bugs me to be interuppted. Once, I came into the park as a guest with just my stepdaughter and she badly wanted the green cotton candy...so we went everywhere looking for it...while one ODV cast member was being so helpful and telling us exactly where to find some, a woman comes up behind him and goes, "Excuse me! Hey! You! I'm talking to you!" and he had to stop mid-sentance and turn around and she goes, "I want to buy some cotton candy!!".....he just turned back to my stepdaughter and I and continued his sentance to us and she freaked out! I finally had to tell her how rude she was, not just to the cast member, but to my stepdaughter and me also!
The freakin NERVE of some people....

I think the biggest thing that bugs me is when you are answering questions in a big group. Multiple guests will interrupt you despite the fact that they usually have the same question...it's bad enough that you have to repeat yourself 500 times per position, much less having to stop and start over because the rotund* woman with the lanyard and ECV wont let you get a word in edgewise. :x
