Yep. I recognize them.

I will be your guide for this magical journey into the movies. It's the perfect job for me, because I love movies! Is everybody ready? Great, because it's showtime. Ready when you are, CB!

Re: Park Peeves
Nothing like the bull rusher stopping and screaming in your face his orders to the family.
Seen all of those at one time or another. It might not be in a park either. Valentines day dinner long ago and one couple and i ordered right away but this woman was going on about how she was on a diet and should not eat certain foods. The vain woman even needed the menu read to her as she left her glasses at home.

He missed one of my favorite categories: The Toll Booth Squatters. You find these in the parking toll booths at WDW, but also at the expressway toll booths (thank God for Sunpass).
A car will pull up, and things will proceed one of two ways:
The people will pay their money and then launch into a never ending series of questions: Are we going the right way to WDW? How long will it take to get there? Will Mickey Mouse be there? Will Shrek be there? etc. By the time they're done, they owe additional money for rent.
Or:
The people will be totally and utterly boggled that they are being asked for money. They will search the car for the next half hour, paying in pennies from under the floormat.
Before we had Sunpass, I used to run into the above a lot at the unmanned toll booth exiting Celebration on 417. One day we sat for several minutes, then the driver from the car ahead of us came running back, begging us in a British accent to break paper money into change. I just shoved some quarters at him and considered it a small price to pay to finally get on my way again.

Re: Park Peeves
I'd like to add "The return time freeze".
Inevitably, a group will stop under a FP return sign dead in their
tracks and gawk like it might change back to the current time if
they stand there long enough. Completely oblivious to the piles
of persons thay are blocking behind them attempting to enter.
"Restroom taxis"
Take junior right up to the doorframe of the restroom so he
can jump out, and continue blocking the entrance with the
stroller preventing anyone else from entering until he returns.

If you ever stop and ask yourself: "How do they dress themselves?"
Congratulations and welcome to my world.
