Another HHN jerk

Post by SkipperGordon » Mon Jan 05, 2009 12:00 am

Hi, I'm new.

This year was my first year working at HHN and because of a broken ankle I was pulled from my regular attraction to work the Rocky Horror Show because a crutch on a boat tour is just a bad idea in general and they needed people over there anyway. I took to carrying a cane instead of the crutch because it was easier to get around when I was out front barking the attraction.

Well, one night I was out front barking with the megaphone and had set my cane aside for a minute because I was standing still and didn't really need it right that second. When I turned around to check on it my cane was gone.
A drunk guest stole my freakin cane. Who does that?

I was pretty pissed off about it because I really couldn't walk far without it; but my co-worker got even more incensed about the theft than I did. He actually ran into the stadium and hunted down the chick who had taken it and gave her an earful of southern ire. My Hero.

Welcome, Skipper. It's always good to have another Universal Crew Member show up. Please, keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times, and a Marsupial will be around shortly to welcome you properly.

:welcome: :waves: :crowd: :chorus: :grouphug:

As for the guest, Stupid doesn't begin to describe it. That was just downright mean.

:welcome: to :sgt: on behalf of everyone, from :wombat: and :wallaby: !

Send your coworker kudos from all of us. When it's theft, the guest is no longer a guest in my opinion.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Thanks for the welcome, but what's with the marsupials? Did I miss something somewhere?

Doesn't every website have a Marsupial Welcoming Committee?

If they don't, they should. How can they continue to exist without one?


There's no place like 127.0.0.1

The Marsupial Welcoming Committee and Flying Bongos are kind of an in-joke here, Skipper. You'll get used to it.

As to the cane theft, if the guest was drunk, you know what they say--Instant Asshole, Just Add Alcohol. And I agree, they should've been given the boot.

Both Zazu, one of our moderators and our in-house smiliemeister, and Wombat have had ankle issues, and can relate to what you're saying/going through. So you're in good company.

True. (And we wore the same restricted movement boot.) (Not at the same time.) (We're close here, but not that close. :rolleyes :)

It's definitely a pain when people steal or even just borrow your cane/crutches/scooter -- it's not like you can chase them down! Glad you got yours back.
