Well I was hungry for them now so I improvised with the baggie and a pair of scissors. Worked, but problem was the dough wasnt stiff enuf to hold the shape and just went **DRROOOPP* So I gave up and just dropped spoonfuls in the oil and sprinkled cinnamon sugar on them. WALLLAH! Cinnamon balls. And I didnt have to even injure a male to get them.

I helped in busting some persistent ones on the Matterhorn a few weeks ago. On tour, my group is coming up to the CM at the Chalet and she is locked in an argument with a group of teens who want to go join their parents in the front of the 50 minute queue. She is telling them "I already told your parents this; you can get out of line for 5 minutes to go to the bathroom, you CANNOT get out of line for 20 minutes to go ride the teacups. If you want to ride together, they will need to get OUT of the line and meet you at the end!"

I was so proud of her I teared up a bit. So she sends us up the exit and I load my guests (I'm not riding) and then I see the load CM motioning to someone behind me in the exit to come on over. I look and see the kids, so I stand in their way and say to the loader, "Did your grouper tell you she already told these kids AND their parents they can't get back in line?" She said no, so I said "Apparently, they got out of line 20 minutes ago to ride the teacups." and she said "Oh, then no, you're gonna have to wait. Nice try."

The parents flipped out at me for being so "F___ed up" and the grouper tossed them too so they could wait with their kids. lol.

If someone had stepped over me--assuming I was in a wheelchair, --they would be missing certain parts of their anatomy. Why didn't your hubby tell the person who was too close to back off? Tell those fools if they want to ride, they have to wait their turn like everyone else --at the top of your lungs! Don't be afraid to yell out, "THOSE PEOPLE ARE RUDE AND CUTTING IN LINE!" and point straight at them. Embarrass them. They give you the finger, break it off. Some people don't quit their stupid ways until you literally beat some sense into them.

So Bru, next time someone climbs OVER you while you're in the chair, give 'em a good sock in the nuts, then if they complain, you can say that is what anyone who gets them in your way can expect! :twisted:

Reminds me of a local girl who in Junior High was being taunted by a neurotypical jerk. She can't move but she rammed him up against a wall with her electric wheelchair and made him cry! :p:
The really precious thing was that his Mom actually called the Girl's mother and demanded an apology.....Oh HELL NO! The Girl's mom said! :D:

Here's a suggestion I got from someone who plays semi-pro wheelchair basketball: Always carry an old-fashioned can opener. Those points can open up anything from a fender to a pair of over-tight jeans with hardly any effort, and they're easy to conceal!

And don't forget the magic words: "Self defense!"

Guests try to run through my exit onto the Train all the time. I stop loading, run over to the car they jump into, and with a nice big smile and sarcastic SOB tone say, "Hi guys, that was the exit. You need to go back around through the line."

To which the usual response, "Really?" In a tone of obviously fake innocence with a facial expression that says *he won't kick us off*

"Yup." *Point at exit*

"Seriously? But we're already here."

"Do you see those guests in line over there?" *Point at queue*

"Yeah..."

*Nod. Point at exit again*

*Grumble grumble. Storm away*

Then I watch as they don't even bother getting into line because unless they walk onto the attraction without waiting, they don't want to ride. Little do they know, the next train is just waiting for us to leave the station so they can pull in.

I call them "Exit-Runners". The worst part is that they try to play innocent like they don't know they went the wrong way and cut in front of everyone and think that I'll let them stay on. They know they're going the wrong way, which is why they run and try to get on as quickly as possible before we can notice them.

Not on my watch!

So, let me hijack for a moment, similar situation...recently had a woman on a ride who didn't realize that my fellow employees were on the intercom to warn her that it was HER camera they wanted her to put away.

Since she didn't get it, (she was actually asking who had the camera when the train pulled back in) and my co-workers had mentioned it to her before she rode, I stepped in and kindly reminded her that if she had dropped her camera, not only would it have broken, she could have hurt herself or others.

I thought the attendants were going to kiss me.

I'm sure I've said before that I'm a full supporter of public humiliation in this case. I can picture it now....

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome aboard the Disneyland Railroad. Our grand circle tour of the Magic Kingdom will be underway momentarily, however we do have some folks on the train [point at them] who came in through the exit and didn't wait in line like all of you folks did. So we're going to wait here until they exit and wait in line to board, and once that happens we'll be underway."
