Stupid Guest Tricks

Two days ago I'm at Matterhorn working load. I don't have an unloader so for every sled that came to unload I wave good-bye and say, "Bye guys! Thank you!" This lady, in row 3 mind you, is sitting there with her son as everyone else in that sled gets out. Now I'm paying attention to those I have to load and I look back to see if it's safe to advance the station. She's still sitting there looking at me. I motion to her right and say, "step out please," and I'm really nice about it. She's still staring at me. Now I have to say, "get out please," still being really nice about it. This lady says, "oh get out now?" I say, "yup."

She goes to the greeter and says that that blond girl wasn't very nice and isn't very 'Disney-like.' Please. Go to h***. She was definetly a pothole.

Phuleeezzzzzzz, did she think she was special? Maybe Speacial Ed, cause you know every other ride lets you ride over and over again or just stay in when the rest of the people get off. There needs to be an addition to the unload speil, that already has like 30 languages, to add stupid. Then maybe it will make soemwhat more sense

Mmm, perhaps the acid that had collected on her spine from previous drops had splintered off and fallen? ..that'd explain her momentary absence? I suppose that its possible she just wanted SPECIAL attention, much like when I worked at Honey. At the onset of the show we ask all guests to move to the FURTHER seat possible. Well, the FIRST assholes will stop in the middle, clogging up, like a bloody drain, the rest of the 'flow' - keep in mind the show is on a timer.. SO I say "YOU, Sir, in the RED and WHITE Striped shirt, please move down.." and if that PIN POINTING strategy doesnt work, then when I walk down and tell them to move, oh, about 1 foot away from them, that works..

...maybe thats why I didnt last more than a year there? ..I was QUITE forward, but HEY, they needed it.

Oh... those are probably the same morons that on the way in, while playing follow the leader in the parking structure, decide instead of following everyone down to the end of the lane (where parking is MUCH closer) that they will just park themselves half way down, causing the next car to park next to them.. and so on and so on.. until i have a third of a lane empty in the front.

I have a wonderful screaming voice because of this. "ALL THE WAY DOWN! YEAH YOU! KEEP GOING! ALL THE WAY TO THE END!!" I have startled people before who are standing close to me when I open my lungs and holler at people, cause I'm pretty small. :shock:

LOL. Yea, they probably ARE the same ones. If only I could have issued tickets and or fines to guests who didnt listen to a safty instruction...

Yeah, you get really good at yelling when out in the lot. I've never seen any area that has as bad of follow-the-leader syndrom as the lot did. (And this was back when we had Pinocchio in its entirity and the lovely confetti reject shirts....no excuse for missing us.)

Haha. The confetti shirts. I was lucky enough to miss those. (I hired in 2 years ago) Unfortunately, now we all just look like burger king/mcdonald's employees. One of the girls said that she saw a homeless person wearing her big orange jacket after she finally threw it out. Hehe.

at Bear Band, the pin-pointing didn't always work - and those timers are for the birds when half the theater is full of passholes. At least at Tiki you can start the show when you're good and ready...

What I really hated was during Happy Hearts when we'd make announcements during the lobby and pre-show spiels that the first two rows were exclusively for the use of wheelchair parties and jerks who had nothing to do with the HH groups would come up front anyway...

Why is it that people don't seem to think that their babies and small children are people? For example, a group of 4 adults and 2 babies will tell you there are 4 people in their group...so what are the babies? monkeys?

Ha ha! That reminds me of the day I ended up putting 8 people, 5 adults, 2 tots and one baby, in row 2 of a boat at Pirates. I asked how many and they said 5 so row 2 they went. I figured the loader would have made a huge sceen of it and the people would get embarressed and move. Nope. So a boat went out with 8 people in row 2.

It was funny.
