A week ago, I was doing GC for Fantasmic. I was guarding the brick walls in front of the French Market as well as that platform that is backed up by a 6-foot wall. People of course love to CLIMB up this wall, even though they can walk 10 feet down to the end of the stairs to get on this same platform. SIGH.
Anyway, as usual, I was directing traffic, telling people not to sit on the walls and getting cussed out, and making sure people didn't climb up the fence of the platform. Soon enough, a Vietnamese family (a mom and two boys) proceed to climb up the fence. I stopped them and told them they could walk 10 more feet down the stairs to get up there, so the mom and one boy got down. The other boy (about 13 or so) stayed up on the wall and just stared at me as I told him to get down. For almost a minute, his mother and I kept telling him he needed to CLIMB DOWN. Finally, the mother screamed at him, "YOU GET DOWN RIGHT NOW, OR THIS LADY HERE IS GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!!!!"
The kid got down pretty damn fast, and I turned around to continue working. 30 seconds later, I turned back to the fence, and the SAME FAMILY is climbing RIGHT back up the fence. The same mother, who just spent her time getting herself and her kids down. When I bitchily confronted them, she smiled and laughed and said "Oh, the stairs were too far!!!!"
