Your Pet Peeves

[mechurchlady]

Ohh, I have a related peeve - people in restrooms who, after they have barely moistened their hands, take about a yard of paper towels from the dispenser. It's like they don't believe in the absorbency power of paper towels, and you need at least a foot per drop of water.

How about the people who leave the sink and floor sopping wet? I am short and disabled so I lean on counters and get soaking wet.

I have a few more:

When shopping at the local market, shoppers leving their shopping carts in the middle of the isle.

Shoppers leave shopping carts in the middle of a good parking space.

In the lobby of my building: Leaving shopping carts in the middle of the hallways. That's a fire hazard. News papers littered the halls instead of the trash can.

When the cable company comes out to fix something and disturbs you watching tv every few minutes. :twisted:

Up stairs neighbors make enough noise to make ceiling stucko come down on carpet. My parent's call them the elephants. :twisted:

If the parents tell you Disney's for kids, you could say, "Then what are you doing here? You're not a kid." And you could correct them, saying Disney is for FAMILIES--that includes adults." And how are Timmy and Tammy more important than you--are they somehow related to the President, or did they drop down from heaven on a little pink cloud? Hey, there you go--"Look, everybody--President Bush's grandkids are here!" Let them deal with it! And if I were in a wheelchair and somebody stared at me, I'd say in a very loud voice, "WHAT'S YOUR FREAKIN' PROBLEM--YOU NEVER SEEN SOMEONE IN A WHEELCHAIR BEFORE?" If someone embarrasses you, you have the right to embarrass them back. They deserve it.

:mad: I HATE that!

Yesterday I posted a new subject, "Anita Page won't be down for breakfast", and I had it in the newsroom, now it's been moved to another thread, and it's not in the newest posts lists. Why? Isn't anybody going to look? This lady's MySpace page shows she has young fans. It's worth a look.

Yeah, that's my pet peeve--not being high maintenence or anything, but I like feedback when I post something, especially if I start a new thread.

Yeah! And, besides, the kids have a good seventy years left to enjoy Disney Parks, and I only have another 20 or so! :p:

I will be in Orlando starting tomorrow night. My sister and I will have to write down SG and whatthey do.

What gets me is, when there is a napkin dispencer on the counter. If you have some ice cream, grab about 3 napkins. I have seen people grab about 20 napkins.

They most be very messy or they are bringing it home for their next dinner party.

No we are stocking up the glove box in the car. :D:

1) When people would use the Shrek4D theatre as their personal trashcan. I even found bones off of chicken, leaky batteries and condoms! EWWW! I found so many used pull-ups, it is not even funny. Even worse was that the bathroom is 20 feet from the exit doors.
2) People letting their kids play naked in the blastzone.
3) People slidding water bottles down the escalator handrail
4) People running up the down or down the up escalator
6) People stopping in the shrek 4D queue line to take a picture of sponge bob
7) people who think 30 Minute wait time, means 30 minutes until the next show, and then come back 10 minutes later asking why the sign hasn't changed.
8) People trying on 40 pairs of 3D glasses while in line at shrek 4D ( this why I asked Mgt. if we could pass them out like HISTA does, to prevent people from f***ing with the glasses). I take the bin of "used" glasses and dump them in the wash bin infront of the bastards face.
9) People that laugh when their kid sneezes on the bin of 100 glasses.
10) People who leave the show and then have a BF when you won't let them back in.

11) CM's who turn away pregnant mothers with out offering the stationary seating like they are supposed too.
12) CM's who take too long to speil or load a show.
13) Leads who never answer the phone when you need them too.
14) Leads who go on myspace and play solitare instead of walking the attraction ( while on the clock)
15) Costuming (Wardrobe) people who take their sweet a$$ time to get your uniform and bring you the wrong size.
16) Parking relocation
17) VIP guides who bring their groups in and open your attractions doors with your OCC panel with out asking you if they can go in or telling you how many people in their group.
18) People who rent a wheelchair for a broken arm.
19) CM's who tell guests why the attraction is down, when they are not supposed too.
20) CM's, Leads especially, who let whiny guests in after you told them the ride was closed ( and has been closed for 10mins), making you look bad. THEN they kiss up to the guest, by giving them a free drink coupon and by saying "My name is ________, you can go to GR and leave a comment for me"
WTF????

Princess Susi, you are correct and I to your knowledge of SGs and their tricks. You also know this board and I had been an unintentional :) SG who wised up after finding this site. Let me explain, I was trying to shorten up two incidences that happened around us while we were at Disneyland. Watching it happen to 2 small children 4~5 years old and seeing them cry, was just...sad and made DH :mad: . We as quests though helped and my DH
had the mother and daughter laughing by the time the parade was over.
Never mean to offend, we both like this site.

Oh no offense taken...I just had to add my .02.....There are pet peeves to fit everyone...And there are so many of the SGs at the parks that make you grit your teeth at what they are doing that peeves you! They do it because SG's forget their manners and leave their brain at home.

There would be no need for this site if there were no SG's, bless their hearts! And this site is so much fun to come to...Everyone who has been to a Disney Park has seen them, so I hold no superior knowledge of the creatures that we delight at ridiculing! And I too have seen SG adults ruining things for kids. The SGs don't care WHOSE day they ruin, child, adult, or CM. They just go blindly about their business destroying happiness at every turn...But look out! They exist everywhere, nowhere is safe from their antics, except in your own home. Just watch out for them, they are breeding and multiplying too! Scary, huh? :twisted:
heeheeheehee....
