Stupid Guest Tricks

Anyone have any Stupid Guests who came from a different country?? I have!!

Just earlier tonight, a hispanic lady came up to me asking if I speaked Spanish, in Spanish, I shaked my head "No":, but she continued to ask me a question.................IN SPANISH!! What part of "NO SPANISH" don't they understand!!

Long time ago, I had these Japanese tourist come to me on Fantasmic!! At first, I didn't understand them, but they made a motion of pulling down their pants and that was the point that I knew that they want to find a restroom!! At that moment, I laughed a little bit, not at them, but at the hand motions, I just found it funny.

This is more of an International Stupid Employee Trick:

At Universal in Orlando, sometimes they leave dry ice on top of the drainage grates backstage and let it melt. I don't know where it comes from but I guess they don't need it anymore. My friends and I saw the ice backstage and started pouring water on it for fun.

A nice park services lady came up to us, and told us what happened at that very spot earlier this week. A few days before they had put dry ice out, and some of our temporary international workers found it. I guess these international workers had never seen dry ice before, because as soon as they saw it they tried to PICK IT UP with their BARE HANDS!!! :bugeyes:

The park services lady yelled at them and I don't think anyone was hurt badly, but still, If you see an unknown object that is SMOKING, its probably best not to pick it up.

Meh. It's not really as dangerous as it's made out to be. I've handled dry ice with my bare hands before. As long as you keep it moving and don't hold it for long, it's not going to hurt you.

I had a physics professor who once took a cup of liquid nitrogen, put a gulp of it in his mouth, and spit it out, making a huge cloud of smoke coming out of his mouth. He then said, "the real trick to that is learning how to do it."

I'm not trying to make you look dumb some one pointed it out to me when I said it not to long ago. Dry Ice does not melt, it evaporates into Carbon Dioxide. Which begs the second question you put it on a drainage gate to "Melt"? :hysteria:

Whoever was done with the dry ice put it on the drainage gate, we just found it there. That is a good point though, putting dry ice on a drainage grate probably didn't serve too much of a purpose.

They should have thrown it into some water so it would bubble and smoke.

Yea I really ment to say who put it on the gate not You. Grr.. I hate Typos.

Didn't somebody recently get fired from Disneyland for putting dry ice into a Coke bottle?

I was taking a tour of the LA County Sheriff's crime lab a couple of years ago and the arson/explosives expert there was saying that Coke bottle bombs have been known to be lethal from about twenty feet.

I saw this video during an explosives training course recently, too, of a kid who blew his hand off making a Coke bottle chlorine bomb.

Well, back to Dan's original train of thought, many years ago on Mansion, we had a Korean tour group (non-English speaking of course) who brought out their beer as they were reaching the foyer. Still trying to figure out how they got it in the gates...

Working utility on Mansion, I had more than one heart stopping moment when the ubiquitous Asian businessmen types would light up their cigarettes somewhere in the graveyard. Anyone who's walked the track will tell you it's a tinderbox waiting to explode into flames.

Either way, I guess they couldn't be bothered to read the brochures in their own languages that mentioned no alcohol allowed in the park as well as no smoking indoors...

Technically it sublimates, going directly from solid to gas. Evaporation is water to gas. Melting is solid to water.

I knew honors chemistry would be good for something some day.
