Stupid Guest Tricks

I think a nice big smack in the back of her head would have been in order. :twisted:

Yeah a REALLY BIG SMACK on the head! :twisted:

I'm still for cow tipping.

It's usually black and sticks out about 2 inches from either the left or right side of the little box on top of the steering column. It looks similar to a big headphones or speaker plug. To remove it, simply yank it out. And if the SG has the attached wrist coil around his or her wrist while driving it, well, that's an added bonus if you yank the key.

Frankly, if that happened to me, she'd better hope that she didn't have the wrist strap attached, because with me it'd be a quick 3-step motion: (1) grab key (2) yank (3) chuck it as hard as I could into the darkness. :mad: :mad: :mad:

That was my first thought. I wouldn't think that very often about someone in an ECV, but taking out my toes, she'd be messing with my livelihood. Further, if she got a kid with the thing, that would be reason to go ballistic and not just knock her from the ECV, but then to drag her to the nearest security person. Of course, from what you describe, that may prove to be difficult. But, of course, you making the effort to drag her there would bring them to you instead.

As far as taking the key, I think all you would have to do is grab at the tag, and the key would come almost unimpeded, as it's just a 1/4" audio plug.

The more I think about it, the more I wish you had got Security involved...

Those are great ideas on how to deal with those people. Earlier this year I had pull my daughter very quickly from the path of those things charging. I had to do this several times. They are glad that I was able to get her out of the way because if they had hurt her than my maternal instincts really would have kicked in. :strolrev:

If you can't whip it out fast enough, maybe try to bend it or bend it after you take it out.

But I do like chucking it far far away from the biatch. :twisted:

If I'd have been there, I would have really been tempted to grab the key and strand her, left to deal with the smooshed-toes Guests standing there, from whom she can't run (drive) away from anymore. If I was REALLY evil I'd toss it in the castle waterway :twisted: , but perhaps just turn it into Lost & Found....

I was rather disappointed when I saw how the keys on the current generation of ECVs were because of the scenario Rob presented and the added difficulty in pulling something like that off.

I would have done a Zazu on her. Popcorn and soda down her back.
