Subtle Payback
Subtle Payback
Back in the day, some passive aggressive methods were used to get back at some of our more irritating guests. For instance - someone scream too loud in the Mansion E.R. when the lights go out? Quietly make your way over to the door before it opens and stick your foot out just enough to trip them as they make their way into the hall. Just in a pissy mood? Eat Mexican food at lunch - a lot - and have milk to drink with it, then let 'er rip. Feel like surprising a loving couple? Go into the show building and pour cold water on them while they're busy mating. My all time favorite was by an r.o. who would smile at the Asian tour groups as they were hearded into another turnstyle, he'd be waving them in and saying "F*** you, f*** you very much" and we assume they thought he was saying "thank you, thank you very much," as they smiled, waved and nodded at him. :twisted:

Re: Subtle Payback
haha, I know of a former Rocket Rods cast member who liked to do something similar. He'd walk up to the tour groups and say, "I'm a sexy monkey," and in return, they'd laugh, like they laugh at everything, and say, "ohhhhh sexy monkey," while bowing.BirdMom wrote:he'd be waving them in and saying "F*** you, f*** you very much" and we assume they thought he was saying "thank you, thank you very much," as they smiled, waved and nodded at him.

On the JC you would get a boatload of non-english speaking tour groups occasionally. After verifying that indeed no one spoke english, I would then spend the entire ride telling them about what I did the previous night in scintillating detail. Ie....well, after I watched some tv I took a shower, I use Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific because I like the fruity smell, I lathered, rinsed and then repeated. After my shower I was hungry so I went to look in the fridge and there was a carton of milk in there...blah...blah...blah

if it wasnt so damn funny it would almost be wrong to take advatage of all those japanese tour groups lol, ya know the oens with the camera and the ones that hate waiting in line or even get offended when you mention that they even have to wait in a line and they stomp off. morons... fuckin morons, come to dl and expect not to wait in a line? lol we took lines and standing around to a whole new level. lines to get in, lines to eat, lines for rides, lines for lines in some cases, lines to piss lol, lines to waut at vending carts, lines to get out, lines at the structure, lines for the trams both ways, lines at cash registers, need I continue? lol
Its a shame I'm going to have to destroy you...
Dude, it's a cultural thing ... especially in Korea. My husband worked on a project for a theme park in Seoul, and they don't have queue areas. What they do is they have as many large entrances as possible to the show buildings that eventually funnel down the the loading area. In Korea, they really don't line up for anything. They believe that the person who feels their need is most pressing can force his/her way to the front with no negative consequences. When my husband's partners were in Seoul, they literally saw people driving on the sidewalks during rush hour if they didn't want to wait for traffic and no one (Korean) blinked.Excalibur wrote:and the ones that hate waiting in line or even get offended when you mention that they even have to wait in a line and they stomp off. morons ...

Gimme some soft serve!
Working at Halloween Horror Nights, you got a lot of aggressive individuals who liked to scream back, hit you, or just plain say "You're not scary", etc.
One time, I was on my walkway above the corridor in DisOrientorium house. The walkway had a small hole cut in it to allowe me to "feather" the guests with a feather I had been given. I was dressed in all black, with a black mesh hood to hide my appearance to guests.
Often times, guests would lift up the curtain and scream or try to hit me. Once I was grabbed by the foot while a girl yelled "Get him, Gilligan!". Often times I couldn't fight back.
My come back was to stand next to the hole. When one guest lifts up the curtain, it was almost guaranteed that several others would do it right after him. Sure enough two more hands picked it up. They looked in and said and screamed something indecipherable into the hole.
I waited till they put it down, and then blasted out of the hole and into the hallway, screaming back at them "BLEBLOCKCOFENHALL!!!!" or something (we weren't allowed to use words)
I watched as four frat guys leaped back against the opposite wall and fell down to the floor, yelling "oh shit shit shit!!!!"
------------------
Another time, I was in the Checkerboard room hiding behind a wall. The wall had a triangle cut out of it, and you could leap out to frighten guests in the hallway behind it. The more annoying guests would peak in and yell stupid things like "Whassup" or "Hey!"...
One night, I was standing next to the hole, and this big girl peaked inside and yelled "HEY YOU!!!!!" right in my ear. Instead of popping out and yelling something back, I went to our exit doorway, which opened into the next room.
I opened the door and yelled "HEY YOU!" right in her ear, right as she walked by, and slammed it shut. I heard her mumble "asshole!" as she left.
------------------
This happened to a friend of mine:
My friend worked in the Dot room, where they were dressed in black jumpsuits with colored dots to blend in. The room is pitch dark, and all you can see are dots everywhere. The room was very open, and UO had removed handrails and put in several walls to conceal the actors.
One guest was going through and getting in everyone's faces. He went right up to my friend's face (in his mesh hood) and said something to the extent of "you want some of this, tough guy, punk" blah blah blah.
Instead of gesturing back, or breaking character by saying something, my friend just stared back through his mesh hood. He slowly stalked him across the room, like a leopard hunts a gazelle.
As the guest was passing around the corner, my friend
SLAMMED the wall. The punk fell over scared, and my friend had his revenge.

There is a lady in Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom who has a very thick accent and she is able to look a guest square in the face and say "You are supposed to be happy and having fun here at Disney, f**ck you!" and they wouldn't know what she was saying.
