Stupid Guest Tricks

Well here is a SG story that is sure to make you laugh, or possibly become ill.

I believe it was our wedding trip, Bru will correct me if I'm wrong I hope. We were having lunch at the little cafe/counter service place at the Wilderness Lodge with our daughter and my sister in law.

We're sitting at the table, the place is relatively quiet because it was midday and most people were at the parks. A CM is dutifully wiping off a nearby table when in walks this, and there is no way to say this nicely, old dude in a speedo. Guy was probably late fifties, early sixties, and there was NOTHING between my abused corneas and his pasty white flesh other than that speedo. No towel, no t-shirt, no hat, NOTHING.

We are desperately trying to shield our kid from this site which is borderline obscene. That speedo was hugging curves that only a trained medical professional or spouse should be exposed to. The guy goes through the line and he’s at the little table where you get your plastic forks and napkins and such.

Our kid points at the man, and declares loud enough for everyone to hear, “THAT MAN’S GOT NAKED!!!!”

Well, we lost it. I don’t think anyone has ever laughed that hard as we all did at that table. The CM was laughing like crazy too, and after the man leaves (we don’t know if he actually heard her or not), she declares “OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES!”

None of us could believe a grown man could parade around in public like that, but our daughter’s line made seeing it all worth it.

I got to loose some wieght really soon. I was at the pool once and I thought someone was going to call security on me for trying to smuggle in 50 lbs of crack... :D:

You've never been to Europe have you?

Have you seen the bikinis with a "tummy curtain" on it? (That's the only way I can think of to describe it, I'm sure there's an official name for it)
It's a square swatch the same material and color as the bikini, about the size of a large handkerchief, sewn to the bikini top so that it hangs down over the stomach like a curtain.

I've only seen it in-person once. I presume it was intended to "hide" that ther person has a stomach. Of course, it does absolutely NO good, and you still see said woman's large tummy sticking out on either side, and it actually draws even MORE attention to the woman's stomach. (It's like trying to hide an elephant with a tablecloth while saying "nothing to see here, keep moving, nothing behind this at all...."

I've been to Italy... as part of a closely guarded and supervised high school class trip

I personally welcome our new European overlords. Now, for God's sake, please put on a robe .

She said we were discriminating against her because she was in a bathing suit and that it was common sense to wear a bathing suit in the summer in FL. I'm sorry...but if its not a water park, walking around in a skimpy top is totally inappropriate...even at a water park, but that's my opinion!

Ohhhh, so you DO have to wear a shirt? I was told by a manager (which btw is no longer in the company) that because we have water parks they could walk with no shirt on. Can one of you give me the official standing on this? I always thought it was contradictory that we require shirts and shoes and then we turned around and let them walk on the top of the bathing suit. Bathing suit season gives me the hives, because whenever I'm in Ariel's Grotto some parent always thinks it's okay to let his child get wet naked. Then they get snippy when you asked them to put clothes on. Like it's my fault they didn't bring additional clothes.

Thanks, Hobie, I'll check out their website. Best to be proactive...I don't want Island Security to be called! :p:

Oh, and I *do*?!?

Fine. Here it is: :monstro:

Thanks, Zazu. Finally got connected via wireless at home today. No more SLT (stupid library tricks)! No more time limits! YAAAAY!!!! Anybody want the list of SLT, just ask.

Haven't seen the "tummy curtain"; I know what a pareo is (basically a wrap that hides thunder thighs).
