Stupid Guest Tricks

I saw this on board X and felt it was such a huge SGT it would have been a crime not to share. To top things off, the SG stated on another post she was leaving board X for awhile because of all the negativity.

Idiots with telephones

Ha! I am sure the people in reservations got nothing better to do that take phone calls from people just wanting to chat. No wonder people have problems getting resservations.

Do they really have a sales quota like that?

You know what bothers me about that thread? The vitriol of the posters on that thread. I was looking around the board and wow, wee, they have some nasty posts in that board! Seriously, we want our kids to stop bulling other kids, but we don't set up an example. The way we attack complete strangers just because we can, it's a little unsettling...

Honestly, I can't imagine being happy by calling a call center, but if that's her thing, and it brings her joy, then you know... more power to her. It's a waste of time IMHO, and some of those people do work on commission. However, with all the negativity, aggressive behavior, and bad things happening in the world I thing folks need to learn to appreciate the small things in life.

The whole thread has way too much vitriol in it... It's a little disturbing to be honest, and those are the people that visit the park... Yikes!

Got to agree with you there Tink. "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."

....And yet you are posting on a board that is designed to make fun of guests to Disneyland and WDW.

that is sort of the essence of this site, isn't it?

That's different, SG's deserve it. :twisted:

I agree, Tink, the meanness and negativity on that board is horrible! I was once a regular there but stopped visiting when I was accused of endangering my child because I went on rides while pregnant. UGH Not worth my time.

Allow me to make myself clear.

That thread specifically is really mind blowing to me because it's not that the poster is doing something astronomically stupid, she makes an off hand comment and wants to know if someone does the same. Whether she knows or not that the people in that center work on commission is not an issue since it's not an information I expect her to know. In fact she's not supposed to know. She enjoys talking to someone at Disney and whenever she has an excuse she calls. My problem is the rude manner that some posters replied to her. One recommends therapy, others are quite rude in pointing out some facts. Look I get it those people work on commission and last thing they need is someone calling for things they can probably find in a website. However, I'm sure that someone could have pointed out this fact to her without being mean.

Yes I post in here, but we (or I do it at least) post because I'm frustrated with guests. I must vent when you tell people six times not to jump the rope and yet they keep on doing it. On the seven time they fall and then they yell at you. You tell them that Tinkerbell is not in Pixie Hollow and yet they insist on doing the line because their application says she is there. Dealing with people is very frustrating and you either vent or implode.

I'll give you an example. A couple of months ago someone in non-related Disney site pointed out that Aurora's hair needed some shine. The whole thing disintegrated in them making fun of the 'horrible costumes' that Disney has and the way some people look in them. I had a very good laugh, and I have no problem with them poking fun at us. However, had someone recommended therapy, diet, or liposuction I would have been a little disturbed by it. I had no problem with them poking a little fun at people.

I think the world needs more people that can poke good clean fun at not only themselves, but also at others. Criticism doesn't have to be a bad thing. Did that make sense?

let ME be clear.

Nothing that is posted on board x, y or z surprises me.

it is in their nature to be complaining about anything they can think up. Trying to post anything contrairy to their way of thinking will incur their ire, and most probably get you worse.

One of the reasons that we call them board x (or y, or Z) is that they WON"T come here and try and "correct" our way of thinking, like they try and do over there.

there is an old story about never trying to teach a pig to sing.

that lesson has merit.
