I'm sorry, sir, but your kid is too short to ride...

Ugh. Why don't people care about their kids' safety? Is riding some ride really more important then their kids being safe?

Most people just don't get why it's a safety issue. Even after you tell them, they try to come up with a way to protect their child... It really is sad.

"The other ride operators let my child ride!"

I worked in security for seven years before working at Walt Disney World. Whenever you told a problematic person that they need to show ID or do anything else they didn't want to do they would come out with one of two answers:

1) The other guards let me do it
2) Don't you know who I am

Usually if one didn't work, they would try the other. The other constant was that both were usually not true: they hadn't been allowed to do it before and they weren't anybody important. In the few cases were they had been allowed to do something before it had usually been allowed by a brand new officer, and the new officer hadn't "allowed" them to do it but rather had been pressured the same way. Now if someone tells me someone else let them do something, I usually assume that they are probably lying.

I have seen parents trying to sneak their sleeping kids in on the attractions. Allot of the cast members will still tell parents that they have to measure their kids. The parents said we were able to do it last time.

Worst case of SG was a foreign lady tried to get her kid on the coaster I was working.... Her kid had to have been either 1 or 2 years old. She told me he would sit on her lap.... I was like, "NOOOOOOOOO (laughing was mixed in with the no)..... I don't think so....

Obviously, I don't know who you are, which is why I'm asking you for your ID

I have seen SG go back behind the gates where it is written in plain sight "Cast Members Only". Then I see a security officer walking them back into the park.

Since it would take too long to clone Judge Judy, I think CMs and ROS should be trained to act like her:

SG: My kid has ridden this a thousand times! The other ride operators let him ride, why won't you?

Judge Judy Graduate CM (JJGCM): Your kid has ridden this a thousand times? You're lying! What kind of parent puts their kid in danger on a stupid ride?

SG: Is there a paper I can sign saying I won't hold the park responsible if something happens?

JJGCM: Are you crazy? That's child endangerment! You wanna sign something, it should be to give up your parental rights to this kid, because anybody who doesn't care about their kid's safety isn't fit to be a parent!

SG: But we're annual passholders/members of Club 33/ we paid so much to get into the park/we've been looking forward to riding this ride/ we came across the country/world to ride this ride (etc.)! If we don't get on this ride as a family, it'll ruin our vacation!

JJGCM: Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining! Anybody who tells me they're a member of something/spent lots of money to get in/ came a long way to ride this attraction is stupid! You know what's really gonna ruin your vacation? Your kid could go flying off the ride and get killed, and then you'd be in jail for child endangerment! Your kid's not getting on this ride because they don't meet the height requirement, and that's final! Do you understand? You want this kid to ride, he's gonna have to come back in a few years when he's tall enough. But not until then! Get outta here!

Amen!!! A whole lot more of that would make the world a little nicer.

Love it! Wish it could happen in real life.
