Stupid Guest Tricks

EmptyCinema wrote:Out of curiosity, how would you guys react if a guest started filming you while you were driving? Although I imagine it has probably happened...

Guests do things like that all the time, the one that gets me is the flash photography on a darkened bus.

The best way to get Soarin is to have the driver stop qiuck! :D:


Oh, you ment TO Soarin!

Our driver told the SG in no uncertain terms that he would be happy to give him directions upon our arrival at Epcot, but he would need to SEE the road to get us there.

Geez, talk abt a Frick & Frak moment! :D: ;) Wish I had been on bus.

I want to see the PSA when it comes out. OOH not another acronym. 587 or so. I have learned how to maneuver a vehicle so that it seems like I am dangerous but am not. Anyone messes with me while I am driving get a good scary ride.

Interesting that on one's day of one rides busses.

Churchy,

Just added a couple of acronyms on the acronyms page, but I'll add them here also (seeing that I used a new one without even realizing it)

EHH = Extra hours hotline - a place on the portal where CM's can pickup extra shifts

Portal = The compaly internet / intranet site for CM's


MS,

It was interesting. I had a bus where the PA was broken so after I screamed at the guests (in a good way) Wallaby entertained them and shot video.

I could make out what you said, so technically, it wasn't screaming :D:

The downside to the MDT is that sometimes that PA doesn't work. What's really nice is when none of the audio works.

It was only for a little bit. Then, I went into MK, where I tried out things I haven't been on in years and years. I have it on good authority that the bird never used the PA to announce that all were aboard the train, as many conductors might.

Done.

And then fill it so it's the biggest category there is?

Gonna be difficult. There's only so many ways to hurt an SG ... or an SCM.

Feel free to nominate particular varieties of mayhem, I'll see what I can dig up for y'all.

Too true. I was famous for hollering "All Aboard" loud enough to be heard by the engine crew.

... at the next station!

If you are from or visiting Florida and would like to help, For my first bit, I am going to make an audio commercial. If they hear it and don't improve their drivers, I'm going to take up a collection to get air time.

I used to do the announcements at Christmas time at the grocery store I worked out, the Store Manager insisted. I'm not from Florida, planning to visit in September, but I don't think the wife would appreciate a side trip to make some recordings, however if you can digitize the video into something like quicktime, I can take care of the rest, just give me a script :)

I have since verified this fact. It is true. There are still some people in Ops that worked with Zazu.
