That happened to me in Gothborg, Sweden. I had to walk back along the tracks about a half mile in below freezing temperatures. Another adventure!

Sounds like some MBAs from Stanford and Harvard I worked with. They managed to take the stock price from $38 to $4.50. I was lucky enough to not have enrolled in the employee stock option plan.

Something like that happened to me on the Brussels' underground. At the end station, every one has to get out, the train then continues in the "depot" and X minutes later it comes back on the other track in the station.
Well, it was rush hour, train fully packed (like 200 people per car when it says there is a maximum of 144), some strollers and old people. I usually wait until most are off and then take my turn to get off, I don't like the fighting (like at Disney at closing time: wait until most people have rushed out after fireworks instead of fighting the crowds).
Well, there are about 10 people, including me still on the train when teh sound goes to say the doors will close. Doors close, we're still on, train continues into depot and there it stops. Driver gets off, we bang on teh glass as to say "what now", he looks at us, shrugs and continues.
We've been there for over 30 minutes!!!

It wasn't really scary (hadn't seen the Creep horror movie then, haha!), but it was confusing as in "how will we get off this train now".

That is a cool way to get even with SGs. Off the train means off the train there, lol. Could you imagine being slow getting off the Bobsleds so they put you on a siding. Sounds like Wal-Mart where the dogs can climb the shelves and get to the overnight customers who do not leave on time, muahaha. Ask Cujo about that.

So, I've been a lurker for about two years, and I'm just now crawling out of the woodwork. The stupidest thing I've ever seen a guest do was just a few days ago in the queue for Pirates at Disneyland. If you've never seen it, there's a mansion-style building in New Orleans Square with fancy wrought-iron arches that have lanterns hanging from them. Well, dingbat #1 grabs one of the lanterns and STARTS SWINGING IT AROUND! :eek:
If that wasn't shocking enough, dingbat #2 decides to BANG HIS HEAD AGAINST THE ALREADY SWINGING LANTERN!! :dropmouth
I thought they'd break it. Forgeting all social graces (and my lovely Disneyland mood) I acutally said, "You....Stupid....Guest!" out loud. But by that point, the dingbat duo was farther ahead and couldn't hear me.

Proof at last that SGs have nothing inside their heads, otherwise it would hurt! Impervious to pain, too! No wonder they think rules don't apply to them.

I would have been VERY tempted to assist him, and bang his head with the lantern until he took a nap!!!

heheheh

RUM?
