The meaning of "Yes"

[Grumpy]

I dunno if we covered this topic yet, but is it just me, or do half of the guests who doesn't speak english coming to the park know the word "yes"

I hate to say this but the worst accident I witnessed had to do with guests who didn't speak English. At the Mansion, a wheelie guy had been loaded in a car with his friend, and the RO told them he was tagging the car and to remain inside at the exit, ok? So they nod their heads yes and say ok. I was at unload, so the partner of the handicapped guy started gesturing at me and I said stay in the car, you're going back to the loading area and he kind of sat back. About 5 seconds later I hear a crash, and there is a pile of bodies with the wheelchair guy on top and blood everywhere....

They didn't tell the people at load that there were more than the two of them in their party, and the rest of their group panicked and tried to pull them out before the car went back around the bend.

I stopped the system and was telling them to leave everyone where they were until first aid got there, but of course, they're yelling in Italian and not listening to me, so they carry the wheelie guy up the speedramp, and blood is dripping everywhere... so after everything is handled, there was still a trail of blood near the bend in the track, going up the ramp and out the exit and it took custodial forever to come and clean it up....

That's terrible. Can't believe that....

Just an observation but the further away the non-English speaking country is, the ruder the citizens. I'm constantly amazed at how a group of guests can be watching performers on Main Street and then the "non-English" individuals plow their way through the crowd as if only they were entitled to front row viewing.

Has anyone had a guest situation with a non English speaking guest:

Me (at Honey Greeter handing out googles): How old are he/she? (refering to a baby)
Guest: YES!
Me: How old is s/he?
Guest: Yes!
ME: Cuantos anos?
Guest: Dos.
Me: No.

At WDW, I only learned one word in Spanish..."MEDA, MEDA, MEDA!!!"
We were also warned about Brazillian and Argentinian tour groups. If ever we saw a red or yellow flag in front of a thundering mob, we were allowed to finish the autograph we were doing and run like hell!
