stupid guest tricks on disneyland rr?

[turkeyham]

I have a good story to share. This happened about 5 to 7 years ago. There was a train refilling with water. The train conductor forgot to lift the water line. The train started to go on the normal route in New Orleans. A few short moments went by and the water line was snapped in 2. Water expolded every where. All I remember was seeing water trickling down the hill towards Pirates. Later my friends and I found out about the area getting a nice drenching.

I forgot to add to my list of Knott's SGT's on the Calico RR that one time we had an elderly Dutch couple with limited English skills. When the Bandits went through, apparently the husband though it was real and punched one of the Bandits. Needless to say, they got to meet our security officers at the depot, who had to find a Dutch interpreter to tell them that hitting a Bandit is a really bad idea.

Wow-wee!

In another time and place, he would have been a hero!

One of MANY SG stories on the DRR...

I was loading guests at Main Street Station. I finished loading, and it was time to get ready to depart. There were about 15 people left in the queue for the next train. As I was closing the Load Gate, this woman starts walking up from the very end of the line...

"Excuse me, I'm handicapped. I need to get on this train."

No cane, no crutches, no wheelchair, no visible sign of any disability other than the white respirator she was wearing (you know, the ones you can buy at Home Depot).

"Do you have a Guest Assistance Card?"

"No! No...no! I'm not dealing with that crap! I need to get on that train."

"Well, I'm sorry, but you're at the back of the line, and I can't just let you in ahead of everyone without a Guest Assistance Card."

"It's just me. Just one. I have health problems. I need to get on that train!"

"Unfortunately, I can't let you in ahead of everyone like that. If you would like to, you can head down to City Hall and discuss your nee--"

"NO! I'm a Premium Pass Holder! I pay three hundred and (something) dollars to come here!"

"So does every other Premium Pass Holder..."

"Oh, now you're being a little smart ass? I don't need to be talked to by a smart ass!"

"Ma'am, please watch your language."

"This is bullshit! I've been run into, bumped into, and coughed on all day! I'm a Premium Pass Holder! My husband is a Malibu cop... SWAT team."

*Raise my eyebrow as if to say "What the hell are you talking about?"*

"I'm not impressed by you with your--your...braces! Staring at me through your dark sunglasses!"

*Completely straight-faced now* "Ok... The next train will be here in 5 minutes."

"I'm going to report you! I'm going to report you to your supervisor! I'm going to talk to your managers! I'm going to write a letter to the CEO!"

*Hop on my train. Leave Main Street.*


I was told later that day by another Conductor that one of the guests in line who witnessed the whole thing came over to him and told him what happened and that I was very professional and handled it well, and that he wanted to make sure I wouldn't get in trouble because of a crazy woman like that.




THE NEXT DAY!!! She's back. Exact same situation. She apparently doesn't remember me. I finished loading at MS, she was at the back of the line, she came forward and demanded she get on the train. I didn't want to deal with her AGAIN...

"I'm sorry, this train needs to leave now. The next one will be here in 5 minutes."

"You know, you guys did this to me last time too!"

"I know...I remember you." *Big cheesy smile*

"Oh, so is that why you're not letting me on the train?"

*Fed up* "No! I'm not letting you on this train because you're at the back of the line and you can't just demand to cut in front of everyone! It doesn't work that way."

*Visibly stunned by my response, and obviously not used to being put in her place* LONG PAUSE WITH BLANK STARE "....I'm not married to you. Don't tell me what to do."



This woman was an extreme pain... As was typing this entire novel of a story, lol.

Wow! SG who think they can pull that stunt should have their passes bought back and be banned from the park.

I have injuries that are worst than that after a car crash that occured 20 years ago. If I am in pain, I stay home and deal with it. I don't need a GAC for this. I broke both ankles and I now have to deal with bad bone spurs. My fractures required screws in both feet which I said no to. When the weather changes, I can feel the pain and feel my feet crack. Ace bandages are the best answer to this problem.

"....I'm not married to you. Don't tell me what to do."

Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!

"....I'm not married to you. Don't tell me what to do."

Is that really the best she could come up with? I mean you weren't telling her what to do, you were telling her what she couldn't do, there is a big difference. I think we need some responses from people around her on what she could have said that would be better. I think she could have gone along the same line as Iger lady from lost and found.

....I'm not married to you. Don't tell me what to do."

I can just imagine a stand up comic;

"Take my wife...Please!"

Wow! SG who think they can pull that stunt should have their passes bought back and be banned from the park....

Or better yet, just revoke them. If they're upset over the lost value, let 'em sue.
