This reminds me that we can add to the SG quote list, "I'm a Disney stockholder! I pay your salary!"

Along those lines, less than three weeks till I and my 20 shares of Disney stock :o: get to WDW!!! So, what am I entitled to as an owner of the company??? :rolleyes: :D:

Ummmm, not really. Stockholders derive dividends from bottom line profits. The Gs, SGs, etc, pay a fee to use Disney facilities and a percentage is paid out in salaries.

Great, I've just made a distinction between good and bad SG's.
How can there be a *good* Ssssss Geeeeee? By definition a Stupid Guest is a stupid guest. If they were nice, they would not be an SG, right? :D: They would be like us, the good and nice guests who post here at SGT! :D: Or just maybe a good SG is like me, someone who has made a mistake in the past and has atoned for it and become a champion for the CMs...

I pulled something stupid once at Disney. :eek: All that Pixie Dust in my eyes you know, made it hard to see and make a good decision. I remember the incident well, that I am not proud of it. I will prostrate myself here for a good punishment. :(

We went to DL back in 99 and I remember having PMS that trip. Not a good omen to begin with... :twisted: I did not have much fun the whole trip :( I used to get PMS pretty bad and took it out on everyone else. That was not a nice thing to do. But this particular morning, we went to board the monorail to get into the Park from the DL Hotel, because we were told the night before by the front desk CM we just had to go to the monorail to go in. So we get up to the front of the line for the monorail and they say NO, you have to take the tram to get your ticket stamped at the front gate to activate it to get in. Now in my defense, the CM at the Hotel desk the night before, never told us about the ticket having to be activated. (In my opinion, at that time, we could have taken the monorail and gone to the gate and had it activated there. What was the big deal. I know NOW what the big deal was, someone could have had an expired ticket or fake and gotten in with it.)

Anyway I was hot :twisted: being told we had to take the tram and go to the front gate and wait in line to get in. It was our first morning there, after getting in late the night before and we had an early breakfast in the Park. So I went back in to the Hotel lobby and proceeded to give major lip (Yes I am ashamed to say I yelled! :o: ) to the poor CM behind the counter about the inconvenience and the fact that we had not been told and I was angry. You think?? Then I stomped out and got on the tram and we went to the park for our breakfast in the Park. Hubby took pics of me at the breakfast table and I am reminded to this day of my orneriness that morning. Lovely facial expressions, NOT! They are paper pics, not digi and I won't post em here. I was an asshole and I know it. They used to do the Breakfast in the Park at the Tomorowland Terrace.

I should NEVER have yelled at the poor CM who was at the desk that morning, it was not his fault that we had not been told that we had to get the passes activated to get in. I apologize to whomever that was. I am sure I was labelled much worse than a SG by him. He probably referred to me as *that bitch* later. So yes, I have been an ass at the Parks, but never since that one incident. I felt bad later, after my PMS wore off and felt ashamed at myself. To this day, that is one of my worst Disney memories, treating a CM that way. I go out of my way to treat CMs with dignity and compassion now. I have grown up and now that PMS is a thing of the past and I am in menopause and on *happy* pills, I try to keep that under control. And I definitely ask questions instead of yelling and going off on someone. I am more likely to go off on a SG than anyone else these days.
Ah, my soul feels lighter! Confession IS good for the soul! I have a SG past and I am not proud of it. Though that was the ONLY time I ever did that to a CM. Bad timing, the planets were all lined up for it to occur.
I feel duly punished....Can you ever forgive me for my momentary lapse of reason on that occasion back in 1999? :o: Pleeeeeease? :o:

Well Susi, whenever I get yelled at I try to think of what happened that day to make that person upset. My theatre teacher once told me that she was yelled at while working at a restaurant. Then later on the spouse of the man who yelled at her came up and apologized, as the man's son had been diagnosed with terminal cancer three hours before. So don't worry too much. While you may have been temporarily labeled as "that bitch" I don't think your memory still persists there. Very few people have stood out in my mind as REALLY bad guests and that wouldn't make it in. Glad you are enjoying those "happy pills", I enjoy them too, only not quite for the same reason. Now I have to run to class before I am late!!! Bye!
