My biggest pet peeve:
"How many in your group?"
"Twenty-seven." (They have two)
Geez, people, it ain't funny. I'm working my ass off to get guests through the line and you just throw a friggin' wrench into the clockwork with that bull. I only get that same stupid joke five times a day.

Even worse....
How many in your party?
"All of us"

My favorite is when you ask how many are in their party...
and they reply with 27, and actually mean it.
Once at Storybook, we had a group of 47... and all of them spoke only Spanish. At least they were all wearing orange, so we knew where they ended.
(p.s. our boats only hold 14)

We had something like this at Shrek 4D this last week. A group of about twenty guests in wheelchairs, along with a few ambulatory guests, including a couple of supevisors, one of whom only spoke I think Hebrew. Unfortunately, we only have space for eight wheelchairs. It took a while to convince them that they couldn't all go in as a single group, even with transferring, since we can't have the wheelchairs in the aisles...

Actually, it's not that uncommon on Pirates to get groups of several dozen. Especially the tour groups from China, which often enter in groups between 30 and 50. Fortunately, a couple of my co-workers speak Mandarin and Cantonese, so if they're around I can often count on their help.
If they're not around, I've gotten pretty darned good at pantomime.

so what, did it like sink or something? i sent a train with 42 people in it at thunder, the group had done it before so i said, ready... go. then i went up and down the platform a few times to advise seat changes (for those with certian body shapes, as the new space sinage puts it,) and rearrange more than 3's. they were all skinny choir girls, so most of them had no problems.

i would NEVER load a boat past its capacity. *looks innocent*
