They're just sunglasses!

Ok, so my son and I are on the Jungle Cruise on Tuesday and we're sitting next to this bald guy who's wearing his sunglasses on his head. At the end of the ride he stands up, turns around and I hear "splash." He starts throwing this minor hissy fit and I think his camcorder must have gone in. The "Cruise Director" takes immediate interest in his situation, until he says his sunglasses have fallen in. I swear he must have wanted her to jump in after them! Her comment? "Well, they either sink or they float. I guess yours sank. I'm really sorry sir." I guess he realized his precious shades were gone and hung his head and left. I think he may have even cried. I know sunglasses can be expensive, but he was bald! This can't have been the first time they've fallen off!

The CM running the boat was really cool, by the way. Some blonde girl, her name escapes me.

Heh, this is why I only spend a dollar on my sunglasses. Right now I have a really beat up pair of old CHIP Cruiser/Aviator glasses that I bought from the Dollar Tree (shut up!). If I ever do lose them, yah, It's gonna suck for the rest of the day because I don't have a pair of sunglasses, but....I can always buy new ones.

Kinda pathetic that he cried over his lost sunglasses.

By any chance did the CM running the boat have long blonde hair? I had her once and she was funny/cool.

Yeah, long blond hair in a ponytail, she was funny.

The most I have ever spent on a pair of sunglasses is 20 bucks. And I only wore them for like a week before I got tired of them. My current glasses are the coolest glasses ever and I got them for free (I love the lost and found bin at work).

ya know there's this great little invention that one of my friends refers to as "idiot cords" which attaches to the ends of your glasses so you don't lose them...they kept me from constantly losing my RayBans in the flumes...

if the guy lost his sunglasses, it's his own damn fault for not being proactive...jeeze...or at the very least - CAREFUL...

lest you think that I spend too much on my sunglasses, I was under eye doctor's orders to wear the most protective ones that I could find as I have a condition that could turn into a cataract if my eyes aren't protected from the sun (they HATED that in Fantasyland)...sorry Ms A-Lead, it's in my medical file...

Haha I have sunglasses from Dollar Tree too! Hey, nothing wrong with cheap stuff. My watch is one of those under $10 ones from walmart, it's lasted thru all the hell I put it thru at work and still works, I've had it for about a year and a half now. When I first started I had a nice expensive watch and it lasted only 3 months.

I porbably claimed a good 9 or 10 pairs of nice ray-bans and oakleys from lost and found during my time at D-land. Lost ALL of them in the Jungle Cruise. :twisted:

I always wanted to be there for the draining of the water during a rehab, they must find a BUTTLOAD of cool stuff.

Well, my dogs (Old English Sheepdogs) ate my $900 transitions, multi focal prescription glasses. $1100 dollars later (insurance only pays for frames every 2 years) I now have two pairs, s presciption sunglass pair and a prescription regular pair, now, if anything happens to one pair, I at least have the second pair, though it will look a little silly to wear sunglasses at work, but oh well!

But you could pretty well be assured that if my sunglassed fell in the jungle cruise waters, I'd go in after them, but then I'd sink since I'm in a wheelchair!

I kid you not, I had a friend, and I swear it wasn't me, who took home a pair of Gucci sunglasses she took out of the lost and found box. She decieded she didn't want them after all and took them to Norstroms because they take anything back without a receipt(you get store credit). So she told them she didn't like them but lost the receipt and they gave her $280 in store credit. HOLY CRAP. Somebody is going to H$LL

And as for the draining of the river, since it doesn't happen that often, most of the items in there are nasty. Wallets, cameras, phones, camcorders, sunglasses, small children. And there also is an ASSLOAD of dead fish, and the occational dead duck. :shock: YUMMY
