I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this, but I saw this thread on Mouseplanet and it got me wondering, what can I do if this happens to me?
I think I would be so shocked, I would just walk away and maybe that is best... but what would you guys suggest?
"my cousin and I were heading to lunch at Tomorrowland Terrace on Saturday. As you can imagine, seats were hard to find. After scouting for a few minutes I noticed a family that looked like they were leaving. I asked if they were and they said yes. I waited patiently for them to discard all of their garbage and vacate the table. Out of nowhere, a woman sped up and ELBOWED me right in the bicep area and took the table. I couldn't believe it! In all my years of going to DL I have never been physically assaulted for a table. Needless to say, I politely said to the woman "It is people like you that ruin the DL experience for others." She said that she had kids and needed the table. I went on to tell her that she didn't need to physically assault me in such a manner. She didn't apologize or anything. As a side note, she didn't have any kids with her and I didn't see any sitting at her table as I was leaving later on. I have a purple bruise on my arm - I still can't believe it."
