I sent the link to my sister and her family so they can review it before our trip in November. Don't want my own family being referred to as SGs.

When my wife and I see those groups walking side by side (in the parks, mall, wherever) we always say to each other "sisters, form a wall!" quoting PCU, one of our favorite movies. They don't have to be all female, we still say it.

he did a pretty good job of catagories!
DW and I encountered a LOT of the center-shoppers last trip, we would make sure that as we passed we would "accidently" step on some toes!!!
Although one time it was very hot and a long wait, I remember coming to them and said to keep moving, in a umm, commanding voice. They complied!

Amazing how people will listen to someone who sounds like they are in authority even if they are not. I always turn on my "MOM" voice in those situations.GRUMPY PIRATE wrote: Although one time it was very hot and a long wait, I remember coming to them and said to keep moving, in a umm, commanding voice.

Kinda the same thing....I wound up having to rent a stroller for our last evening of vacation (at EP) My ankle were so swollen I could no longer walk without wincing every step. Stupid center stoppers/wide walkers decided to do their thing RIGHT in front of me(facing me) as I was rolling along down an incline (Donnie and Meghyn were on a ride). Now I am not totally incompentent when it comes to working a manual chair but those things DO NOT stop on a dime, especially when the wheels are wet. I just yelled "you are going to have to MOVE NOW! I cant stop" I am sure they thot me a SG but come on, you see someone propelling themselves in chair on a downhill and you stop like 10 feet straight in front them. YEEESH! I feel better now.

Ill comment on a few of these since I have witnessed just about all of them.
The Menu-ally Challenged.
if you look this up in the dictionary you will find a picture of my ex wife. She did it everywhere, its mcd's, they all have the same thing, you dont need to look at the menue, and she always used the drive up and always ordered the same damn thing. My GF's son will do this, hes now all of 12 and dexlexic so you have to give him a little break. i ask him well ahead of time what he wants, when he hems and haws I tell him to make up his mind or he eats what I order for him. I know before I get the the order taker, no screwin around, its time to eat.

Heres my take, if your party is in line and you are delayed and they are no more than a couple of groups ahead of you then say excuse me and join your group. (excuse me implies you are causeing someone else an inconvienence, pardon me implies someone is inconviencing you) I will happily move for you. If part of your group needs to use the restroom or something like that and your going to be delayed, everyone should wait and enter the que together. (I had several people on soarin at EPCOT pull this, got to the point I wasnt going to move any more) If your group is more than a couple in they should step back to you or step aside when they can and allow others to pass until you catch up. And, i may have been born in the morning, but it wasnt yeasterday morning, when SG's are climbing the rails while saying "where's Leroy? I think I see him." (this happened at HM at DL) so they can cut in line they should be ejected from the park. I will point them out to the CM's when I see this, i will also point out the end of the line when kids think they can just walk past everyone or jump in the middle of the line.
The Center Stoppers
Got into it with an SG at a non Disney park some years back over this, he apparently didnt speak english so I wasted my breath on him. People dont know theres no bad seats in a Disney show, I always go for the far end. and these are the people that run you down to get out first also. What I do, Step on their toes and stick my ass in their faces and bang them with my backpack as I go by.
If I ever saw someone blatently try to rip a place off claiming their tray was bussed before they ate I would report them, thats plain theft.
My GF has a friend that will go to the gumbo place in NOS and ask for a cup of ice, free, then use the cup for free sodas all day like shes getting a refill at the places that allow it. Shes the classic passhole, told my GF not to tell her when we go, she does other things I dont like also so I dont even want he around.
