Well a lot of people get annoyed by the It's a Small World song. Not me. I like the ride a lot, so the song is part of that like. What I don't like is when you go on the Haunted Mansion and the people try to do the speech you hear in the elevator. They only know half the words at best.

I got super annoyed in the Phantom Manor at Disneyland Paris. Somehow, the CMs in Paris aren't quite as efficient as ours, and our doombuggy was stopped literally in every room of the ride so the CMs could help load people onto the ride. I know this wasn't a ride malfunction; while we were waiting to load our doombuggy, the CMs would stop the flow of the ride every minute or so to catch up with the buggies, instead of letting an empty one go. You'd think they'd let some empty buggies go instead of ruining the ride for everyone on it! I absolutely missed out on the Phantom Manor experience because every thirty seconds we'd be stopped, and the music would stop, replaced by that annoying French ghost whispering in our ears. grrrrr

Yeah I get annoyed on attractions at least once on every trip. It only takes one obnoxious or rude guest to ruin the experience. I paid to experience the attraction, not you.
Taking flash photography and loud talking on attractions really urk me.

Not really the rides....but rude people who try to steal a spot after you've been waiting for two hours, or people who try to squeeze themselves in five minutes before Fantasmic or RDCT. I was talking to this lady once while waiting for Fantasmic when this guy tried to take the spot reserved for her husband. She told him it was reserved, and he said, "Well, it's mine now." Everyone in our area started booing and he left.

Flash pics on dark rides. Annoying as all get out. Other than that, I can live with most other things. Though screaming on HM does bug me a little...

I get annoyed when people take flash pictures inside HM. It kind of ruins the experience. I get tempted several times to take a flash picture of the grandfather clock, but I don't. I'd rather use my camera's Night mode w/out flash & get somewhat blurry pics than get in trouble. The screaming in HM also annoys me.

I got reeeeeeally annoyed during the only time that I rode the canoes. There was this really annoying person in front of me that had mental problems or something because she couldn't row correctly and kept splashing me. (the person in front of me was my sister)

It wasn't *that* annoying (well, maybe it was...), but when I was on Splash Mountain, I went in the SR line since my mom hates any rides with drops. Well, I got on with this family and they decided to rock our log almost the ENTIRE ride! They screamed "Left, right, left, right" and would shift all their weight to the sides so that our log would just rock back and forth. It wasn't as annoying as it was motion sickness inducing (whatever, I get motion sickness very easily).
I'm one of those people who like to sing along to the songs on the rides and recite the spiels. But I'm a really shy/quiet person, so I don't think anyone can actually hear me. Or sometimes I'll just whisper the words into my mom's ear or just lip sync to the words. The only time I go all out is in the Tiki Room when the birds encourage the audience to sing along.

I get really annyoed when people cuss and swear on rides or even in lines. Since I grew up in a family strict with manners, I get annoyed when I see people eating without manners. One last thing annoys me, which is actually very common in California because of the heat, but I really don't like it when people get mad at others for small and useless reasons. For example, on Indiana Jones, if a CM let a group of two come up through the line to fill seats, and then some annoyed Guest goes off at the Castmember saying they waited two hours in this line to go on the ride and not to let others pass right in front of him. This really ticks me off.

I get annoyed when people, especially ones I'm with, recite a spiel like on Star Tours and Haunted Mansion, I'm sure at one point or another we're all guilty of doing this but it's annoying when it's the entire attraction or show! I'm glad other people feel the same way!
And all of you are right about the pointless screaming on Haunted Mansion...ANNOYING!!!!

The thing that annoys me the most is people who cut lines. Maybe it's because I'm English and we're known for queuing properly but it seems like an awful lot of people just think they can walk in front of you. It's like :eek: Excuse me, what the *beep* do you think you're doing?! :mad: That and like many others have stated when you wait for hours for a show and then someone comes and gets in front of you (ALWAYS a child) and then half their family comes and joins them!!! I could proper go into one when people do that!!!!
It does annoy me slightly when people recite from attractions but I've never really experienced it that often. Because my trips are so few and far between I guess!!! :(

Another thing that annoys me is when people sometime scream really loud in the Streching Room. I actually went deaf for a good 10 seconds once in there. Also, I get annoyed when Peter Pan Flights always has a long line. This is probably just me, but I do get annoyed when I can't get on any of the Fantasyland rides because of long lines.

I noticed a couple of times in TOT at DCA that some people would talk right through the lobby TV spiel, like they have seen it a hundred times before, but some people never have and told them to be quiet, which they should be. It's very very rude.

Greetings,
.....Then there are the little rides, the Autopia & the Teacups. Isn't it wonderful to hear the announcement regarding not to "bump" the car in front of you. Moments later someone (this seems to cross all age barriers ) slams into you. Oh,I forgot to mention, all the while you are slowing down in an effort not to hit the car in front of you. Or as the Cast member is going through the trouble to ask how many in your group is, mentally and accurately, adding up the capacity for the Teacups. As you step out with the family to try & find an empty teacup, somehow they are all full of solo riders. Wonderfully leaving you to stand there looking distinctly out of place. Has anyone else had to endure the old curmudgeon who, while in the que or in the attraction, continually "nit-picks" about everything, so loud that you cannot hear any audio ?
cheers,
Steve

Ok guilty here of reciting the elevator speech in HM and then singing Grim Grinning Ghosts in the graveyard :icon_redf But I promise to do it quietly next time so as not to annoy those around me....also we just had the experience of waiting 3 hours for Fantasmic and of course had the annoying last minute person who wanted to share our towel with us :icon_evil ...the worst by far is being pushed by children who are standing behind you in line!!

I don't know how many times on my recent trip to DL that my wife, who has a degenerative knee problem and can't stand for any great length of time and I would scope out a bench where we could sit to watch a parade or watch the RDCT and people would sit in front of us and that was fine but as soon as something would start they would all stand up! like the couldn't see it from sitting down. I checked THEY COULD, they were just rude. The other thing that bothers me is at the top of the stairs in the haunted mansion they way the doombuggies turn it allows any annoying JERK OFF! to knock on the shell of the doombuggy ahead of them and it's always me. Sometimes I hold back in the stretch room till everyone is out so I can catch the last doombuggy or on after. But it was crowded when I was there so the next elevator group would catch up to me at load. I hate it!

Good to know some people have the same Disney pet peeves as I do.
I forgot to mention that I get annoyed and impatient very easily when in big groups. I like to plan and go. I hate it when people go, "I don't care." Either go or don't or split up. You don't need 15 people standing in the middle of Adventureland arguing what to do next.
Also, I get annoyed at people smoking in Disneyland who aren't in those designated areas.

Well, I must say, I am guilty of committing all these grievances. I knock on people's doombuggies and scream in the HM because I think it's funny, but I'm sorry if it was ever me that annoyed any of you. My pet peeve though is when people recite the ride dialogue. I hate HATE that! I also get annoyed when I've been waiting for a show for like an hour and then someone squeezes in front of me two minutes before it starts and then I can't see, so I just annoy them until they move...

I too am guilty of this acts, although I don't knock on other peoples doombuggies, just the people I am with. Usually my family or friends. I love screaming in the stretchroom just as the lights go out and before other people can scream. Call me whatever you like, it is just something I like to do. I don't scream on the ride though, I am more interested in trying to look at how everything works and look at the behind the scenes stuff.

I hate it when some rude, inconsiderate person decides they need to pass gas in a tight hallway or some confined space. this ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS happens to me on Indy weh when you walk up the stairs just before the loading area. It also happens in that little stairway going up to the loading area of Big Thunder. makes me SICK!!!

What reall gets me mad is when people bring a kid on a ride that he/she dosen't want to go on. :mad: I mean if your kid is terrified don't make em go on the ride. Why do people insist on doing this? I'm sure your child will almost certainly enjoy the ride eventually but if He/She is scared use the dang parent pass don't make your child ride. I hate seeing upset kids at DL or anywhere for that matter.

The thing that annoys me the most is not anything on an actual ride at Disneyland, it's trying to board the monorail! You wait and wait then it's time to board and people literally shove you aside to get ahead of you so they can get a seat! Last summer I was waiting about 15 minutes to board the monorail and I was in the front of the line.
As I saw the monorail come in, I felt people shoving forward behind me. I grabbed onto the railing, blocking them from getting past me, and once the gate slid open, I held onto the railing until it was my turn to go, and then let go and boarded the monorail--getting a window seat. The shoving people behind me were extremely irritated with me, so I just turned around and smiled at them =) Learn some manners, People!

YES, I get so annoyed of people who talk on POTC. Once, this guy in front of me was trying to make his family laugh by snoring on all the quiet parts of the ride, then he would laugh at himself and continue with his snoring. Everytime I ride it, I get stuck with a loud boatload of people. So one time(two weeks ago), I asked for my own boat and the CM let me have it!!! :) Thanks Joey, I gave you a compliment at guest services :old_wink: , hope it helped. I also get annoyed of everyone reciting the HM Elevator script, Everyone knows it already you don't have to prove it!!!(It was ok when I did it of course hehe :cool: )

I have knocked on doombuggies of people I know, but never would I to someone I did not know. My father used to do it to us out of fun ever since I was a kid. I would never disrupt anyone's experience of Disneyland unless it is someone familar to me who knows we are all just having fun. I just think that's grounds to get your teeth kicked in.
Harsh? Maybe. But ask the dad that has worked his tail off to get his kids on the vacation of their dreams and he is just trying to enjoy watching his family have the time of their lives - not some attention craving pukes that think disrupting the enjoyment of others is cute.
Why can't people just chillax and enjoy the magic that Walt worked so hard to bring us?
It really makes me more angry than annoyed.

Yet another thing that annoys me is when people take flash pictures in POTC. Now, I admit I took a couple of flash pictures myself(I got tempted). But it's kind of annoying. Another thing that annoys me is when they let more fastpass people enter Indy than stand-by people. That's probably just me since I go on stand-by most of the time. When I go on the fastpass line, I feel a bit sorry for the stand-by people having to wait there more.

The Haunted Mansion is practically my favorite ride in the entire park!:smile:
Ironically enough, it is also the ride I get most annoyed on!:mad:
This is because almost every teen that goes on that ride makes fun of it!!! If you're going to make fun of it, DON'T BOTHER GOING ON IT STUPID-HEADS!:mad:
JEEZ! People can be so mean (stupid, dumb, idiotic, evil, etc.)!
I just want The Haunted Mansion to get the respect it so rightfully deserves from teens!

I totally understand you on the pda(public display of affection). They're too busy liplocking that they don't even move when the queue moves forward. It's weird asking people to move up in line to begin with.
Everytime I step into HM, I hope that my elevator isn't filled with teens on too much sugar.

The unnecessary screaming by teens at THM really bug me. IT'S ANNOYING how selfish some people can be to ruin the experience for others. I also get annoyed when I can hear people talking on Pirates. "So, what are you getting Ralphie for Christmas?" "Oh, I don't know, maybe a bunny suit"... SHUT UP AND ENJOY THE RIDE!!!
the only thing that i have a problem with is parents who don't tell their children to behave. when kids are swinging chains and bumping into you when you're in line, that gets really annoying. i totally don't mind the screaming or reciting of lines in HM or POTC. you can tell if someone is saying the words just to try to "prove" that they know the words, or that they really love the attraction and are being quiet and respectful about it. bad body odor does get to me though!

HM can be bad (high pitched screaming in the stretching room), but I've been lucky for the past few trips.
POTC is horrible if you're stuck in a boat with somebody who doesn't know how to (or won't) disable their camera flash.
The most annoying thing I've experienced in POTC (and perhaps the whole park) was fortunately coupled with one of the most stern, public warnings I've heard come from a CM. The boat in front of us was full of yahoos who had a air horn with them. They blew the thing 4 times in the bayou area.
When they were backed up at the first drop, a CM came over the PA and said:
"Hey you. With the air horn. Yeah, you. We see you. If you don't put that stupid thing away, security WILL meet you at the loading dock and you WILL be escorted out of the park. Thank you."
It was awesome! We could hear a huge roar of applause come from over at the blue bayou!

Yup, I saw that last month. The boat behind us was full of teenagers who kept hanging over the edge and trying to dunk each other in the water and the CM came over the PA and basically said the same thing. I think they kept it up and were escorted out, but I'm not sure.

What really annoys me is that people talk during the ride. Like talking about non-topic stuff not about Disneyland or the ride. My last visit in Disneyland was Feb. 12, 2005. When me and my Mom rode POTC, nobody talk, it is great experience for us and the people sitting in front of us. I could hear all of the pirates talking and the special effects. That made me happy, no flash was taken during the ride. I just don't like it, when people talk during a ride. Just Enjoy the ride!

Once I was on Mr Toad and some idiot (I don't know who it is so this is not bashing) took a flash picture of the train scene with their cell phone... and it was a busy day so I was right there and saw it. What it REALLY is... just a little cart that rolls on a track on the celing with some lights on it. Thats all it is!

Oh boy there are something that bother me in disneyland. Such as the annoying sweaty people that stand RIGHT BEHIND you in line and they are sweating so bad and its like you can feel their sweat and they smell...that is sooo gross! But I don't like the young people that are like making out in line, and are really annoying and ruin attractions for the rest of us. The thing that gets me too are those annoying people that practically run you down because they are in such a rush, sure I go fast through groups of people but I dont plow people down. Something I have noticed is that I do see little children acting up, or not wanting to go on rides, but their annoying parents are making them go. I swear sometimes the parents are 10 times worse than their children! And that just makes me sick. When the parents will plow you down or cut in front of you without saying anything, and their children are the ones to saw "excuse me" you know their is something wrong with that. I also think it's pretty annoying, but funny, when people think they know everything about a particular attraction, and they dont even know its correct name! Or they will be spouting of what to go do next, and they are calling the Haunted Mansion the "Haunted House". I cant help but laugh at that sometimes!I hate it when people completely ruin things for other people. I havent had really bad experiences, but some were definatly hard to swallow without saying something!

I was on POTC once and this guy in the first seat was taping the ride, his camera didn't bother me, but for whatever reason the person behind him kept saying turn the camera off, then it got worse hey buddy, you speak english, turn the camera off. Glad there weren't any childeren on, I felt tense I wanted to say you be quiet and you turn it off. To this day I don't know why that camera bothered him?
On HM once two young girls, got off the doom buggy yes off, we didn't know at the time, but once the ride started up again and we were exiting, the dl security basically was telling them we can escort you off the premisses now etc. It was rather interesting.
and people who cut in line at restuarants! almost got in an argument because I said excuse me to someone who saw me going to the table I was inches away, and she ran yes ran put her coat on the chair, gave me a dirty look like ha ha I got it. I had my tray of food and so did my friend she was still waiting for her group and she had nothing no food or drink, totally rude.

I went on POTC when they had the bigger boats(like 2 yrs. ago) and our boat was PACKED with people. and they weren't just regular people, they were bigger sized and there were people in my group and they squished us all in the last row. so our boat went terribly SLOW and after the drop, the boat was down a little and a huge wave of water came behind us and soaked us!! and same thing @ the end. we had to stand up for the last 30 sec. and they said sit but we couldn't and it was miserable. lol. but they gave us passes to cut a couple lines but still, it was bad :icon_shoc

Woo, first post.
I usually do not get annoyed during rides, unless the people are exceptionally out of control (which has never really happened during any of my trips). But what annoys me more than anything are the crowds while waiting for the fireworks show. My mother and I purposely flew to Los Angeles this past May to be able to spend five days at the Disneyland resort to see all of the new things for the 50th anniversary, without having to deal with the summer heat or summer crowds. So naturally, we wanted to see the new fireworks show.
The first night we watched them, it was okay, everyone stood up and watched the show. Fine. The next night, everyone sat down and watched the show. Again, fine. But the next time we decided to watch the fireworks, it was absolute anarchy. Half of the crowd decided that they wanted to sit, and half (of course, the front half) decided that they wanted to stand. My group was sitting, but the people directly infront of us were not, making it impossible to see. After having some lady try to cut in the line and drop her stroller on my head, I decided that I had had enough and that I was going to stand. Big mistake. Right after that, the show started, and thus started the yelling of "SIT DOWN!" from the people behind us. Rather than not being ignorant and realizing that there was a sea of people who would not sit down and just standing up instead of complaining, these people insisted on yelling at us the entire show. Some lady even tapped my mother on the shoulder and informed her of how rude she was being by standing. I guess they didn't see the hundreds of other people in front of us, forcing us as smart people who wished to watch the show, to stand.
The people at DL and DCA are really the only thing that ever annoy me.
And regarding people reciting the lines during attractions such as the Haunted Mansion, it's fun! I always do it, and every time I do it, by the time the Ghost Host is finished, 75% of the crowd is doing it as well. I don't particularly like it when teenage girls insist on screaming really loud, but there is nothing wrong with saying the lines or singing along with the songs on your favorite attractions.

I can understand the frustration while waiting for the fireworks show. What I particularly hate are the people who come in like 15 minutes before the show and try and squeeze their butt into a tiny little spot...the size of my shoe. I've had people yell at my group for standing up, but there's nothing we can do because we gotta see the show too.
Also the rushing herds of people trying to go anywhere and everywhere after the fireworks are over make me grouchy.

Heh, the easiest way to take care of the people trying to come in right before the show starts is for you and everyone in your group to sprawl out and not let them in. Hey, not to sound rude, but every time I watch the fireworks, I am sitting in my spot WAY in advance, and I do not take too kindly to someone who doesn't have the patience to wait as long as I have to try and get as good of a spot as I have.

Oh boy there are something that bother me in disneyland. Such as the annoying sweaty people that stand RIGHT BEHIND you in line and they are sweating so bad and its like you can feel their sweat and they smell...that is sooo gross! But I don't like the young people that are like making out in line, and are really annoying and ruin attractions for the rest of us. The thing that gets me too are those annoying people that practically run you down because they are in such a rush, sure I go fast through groups of people but I dont plow people down. Something I have noticed is that I do see little children acting up, or not wanting to go on rides, but their annoying parents are making them go. I swear sometimes the parents are 10 times worse than their children! And that just makes me sick. When the parents will plow you down or cut in front of you without saying anything, and their children are the ones to saw "excuse me" you know their is something wrong with that. I also think it's pretty annoying, but funny, when people think they know everything about a particular attraction, and they dont even know its correct name! Or they will be spouting of what to go do next, and they are calling the Haunted Mansion the "Haunted House". I cant help but laugh at that sometimes!I hate it when people completely ruin things for other people. I havent had really bad experiences, but some were definatly hard to swallow without saying something!
Thank you WendyDarling for saying everything I would have said. In June, one girl who stood directly behind me while walking through HM to the doonbuggy, loudly chomped on doritos in my ear. Disrespectful and gross.
On a side note (with regard to parents forcing their kids on rides), if you see a little boy vomiting prior to getting on a ride, it might be my son, and I am not forcing him on the ride! I swear he vomits in anticipation!!!! Please don't judge (hee hee)!!!

Well so far a lot of people get annoyed on the famous rides in New Orleans Square(may those who live in Lousiana get back on their feet we have faith and confidence they can do it). I would have to agree that a lot of people can sometimes be annoying in HM and POTC, more often than not. I have this one thing I do on HM when the wall is about to open to get onto the Doom Buggies. I just say ooo Lala like the french do. It totally distracts the people and makes them more distracted with that one rather than acting stupid like to others around them. I would have to say more people are getting more and more sloppy when it comes to common courtesy. I mostly get ticked off when someone says that Disneyland is for babies(I mean come on who do you think you are????). I really like that the fact that Disneyland has a friendly staff that actually have a great attitude towards making your day at Disneyland wonderfully bright and memorable. I mean who doesn't enjoy just seeing the first train running into the Mainstreet Station atop the infamous flower patch of Mickey Mouse(well now its a 50th Mouse for now). That first feeling you get when you breath in the dream of what many people dreams and hopes become reality in front of them by means of Attractions, scenery, a cast of characters, a cast of members(I love saying this one, I hope I see Maynard again), the music, theming, and mostly to celebrate one mans dream of making his visions of what imagination can turn into when you realize that dream and follow your heart into the soul of it. I sound detaily but I love Theme parks whether they have rollercoasters or dark rides, or even interactive rides like BLAB, whatever the dream, whatever the magic, and whatever the Imagination, Disneyland is the place to be where Imagination becomes Reality to the young at Heart and dreamers of the dreamt.

Why would someone who is displaying their amusement from a ride annoy you? Mr. Walt Disney wanted that EXACT effect on people when he designed the park. Disneyland is an "amusement" park. People are supposed to have fun. Fun was the vision, not how cool someone is supposed to look after they get off the ride. You might be in the wrong place if cheering and clapping bugs you.

Um.... isn't Disneyland A "Theme" Park? It was the world's first modern theme park. Walt really never wanted a amusement park. He wants it to be a family park.

He wanted it to be a place where parents and their children could have fun together. If people are having fun together, especially teens & older, that's exactly what Walt was going for. I know full well that many take amusement in entirely the wrong way and for the wrong reasons, reasons that didn't exist in 1955, and that can be annoying at times. I don't think Walt had teens in mind at all when he designed the park, so it's murky at best how to figure if their style of fun matches Walt's intentions. I don't concern myself with it too much. All teenagers will eventually mature & figure it out, I hope.

Folks, I am sooooo glad for one thing. When I was on my way into the park, I was really worried that I would be surrounded by dummies using their cell phones on rides. Thank God that Disneyland has obviously taken advantage of cellular blocking technology!!! You can't use a cell phone even in the lines for POTC and Haunted Mansion, Indy, etc., and that is AWESOME.
I have to deal with idiots using cell phones at the wrong times and places all day. For example, when they are driving, at the LIBRARY, at the movies... some people just can't bear to shut up for 10 whole minutes at a time, no matter who they are intruding on. Good job on blocking those nasty little devices in the rides that depend on atmosphere for a complete experience.
It actually makes me want to have cell phones blocked in ALL parts of the park except designated "Phone Junkie Areas" where people can talk if they just can't stand to clamp their yappers for a few hours. For example: I was in a great spot for Fantasmic, and my dad and I were seeing it together for the first time. Then, this IDIOT who happens to be about 6' 4" just crowds in right in front of everyone. His wife was mortified and embarassed, and told him to move out of the way, but he gave her a few choice words and ignored her and everyone else. And after a few minutes, he stands up as straight as can be, whips out his cell phone, and starts playing an online football video game on it!!! Imagine, he crowded into the front, blocked a bunch of people's views, and all so he could totally ignore the show and play an online game on his PHONE!!!!!! Block all signals except for in designated areas, I say. People seemed to get along just fine without them not too long ago. People just don't know when to leave the clutter of their pointless junk alone, and just have a good time while being courteous of others' right to enjoy the park.

Ok first of all, if anyone is concerned about looking "cool", as you put it, at DL, then you're talking to the wrong girl! I'm the first one to act like a complete dork at Disneyland; the people who walk around looking bored are beyond me.
Now unless I read the title of this thread wrong, it's for people to vent about what annoys them about the people at DL, am I right? This is something that, in my opinion, is annoying. So how dare you try and tell me that maybe Disneyland is "not the place for me"! I wouldn't be here if I didn't feel the same way about Disney as everyone else here does, and it really offends me that you would say something like that...
Different people are entitled to their own opinions. I never knew that it annoyed other people when I screamed in the stretching room of HM; I'm just having fun. You see how easily one person's fun is another person's annoyance?
Anyway, to sum it all up: I'm entitled to my own opinion. Just because you disagree doesn't make me wrong.

Well Tiara you get annoyed when people cheer coming out of rides, other people don't like the screaming in the stretch room, yet you both are having fun. My question is why let it bother you so? I get annoyed sometimes but I just brush it off because, y'know, it isn't worth it. However, it's a discussion board, so vent away, but since it's a discussion board, don't be all that surprised if people have differing opinions.

It's not annoying like "OMG! WILL YOU STOP THAT'S SO ANNOYING!" more like an "Oh jeez, do you really have to do that?" kind of thing.
And I'm not suprised that someone has a different opinion than me, I just thought my opinion would be respected as being my opinion: nothing more or less than that.
Hey I have an idea for a new topic: Things people do on message boards that annoy you, like telling you you're wrong for feeling a certain way!
I'm sorry if you think i'm blowing this out of proportion, but I come here to express my thoughts and feelings on DL. I don't expect anyone to agree or like it, but i have every right to put it out there and everyone should have the decency to respect it.

No one is disrespecting your feelings, and if they do, they're violating guidelines. However, it's perfectly natural that their feelings could differ so much as to be completely opposite yours, and like you said for yourself, they have every right to put it out there and you should have the decency to respect it. Having a differing feeling isn't disrespecting yours, it's just different. Now I myself was a little curious why cheering at the end of a ride would bug someone, I still am, but you don't have to answer me if you don't want to. Having that curiousity doesn't mean I'm trying to disrespect your feelings or anything, I'm simply curious about them. If my being curious annoys you and you start off on me for annoying you, well then you'd need to learn a little something about respecting other people's feelings before you preach that to others. Not saying you do, just saying if it did and you did, then that's what you'd need.

My intention was not to start an argument, but only to state a position of opposition since I believe that Disenyland is a place where the focus is fun. Not just for families, but for EVERYONE. I do not feel it's ok if people cannot freely express this without someone getting upset at them. I always clap and cheer, so I would serioulsy have a problem with someone at Disneyland for getting annoyed at me for doing so.

I honestly can't tell you exactly why the clapping annoys me, it just does. Kind of like how I get annoyed at the sound people make when they're eating bananas, it just drives me up a wall! I also hate seeing people gnawing on turkey legs and eating frozen bananas at Dl, too, but I'm sure other people reading this think I'm crazy. Whatever.
Ion-Apology accepted. I do realize that people are just expressing themselves when they do this, which is why i don't understand how this got so blown out of proportion. I feel like a villain. It's not like it bothers me to the point where it affects what I'm doing, it just annoys me a little. Lots of things people do to express themselves bother me, but I'm a little neurotic, and I accept that. I also know that things I do to express myself (like screaming on HM for no reason and knocking on the backs of people's doombuggies) annoy other people, and frankly, I don't care. Just know that if you see a crazy redhead doing these things, and you feel victimized, then I'm sorry it was you. And that goes out to everyone reading this, not just Ion. Honestly, it's not that big a deal. Had I known everyone would be up in arms about this, I would have just not said anything. Me and my big mouth...
Hans-ohemgee, I HATE when people use cell phones on attractions. I almost stabbed my best friend last time we went to Dl because she answered her phone in the tiki room! It was so rude!

I do actually go on HM and PoTC early in the mornings and enjoy them more than at night. People lurve to scream at night.

My friends that have never been to Disneyland are the ones who really annoy me on rides. Like this June, it was the first time the dorky friend of one of my friends went to Disneyland, and I somehow got stuck leading him around! He kept asking me: "When are we going to ride an inverted roller coaster? When are we going to eat? When are we going to get on the ride? How long is the line? What is this petrified tree doing here? Why is that old mine train over there on the river bank? Why don't they redo Main Street to make it modern." You get the idea. However, it really annoyed me when he said, "They should tear down Disneyland and rebuild it. It's too old and boring." (psycho theme playing) NUTS!!!! I then desserted him in the middle of a crowd in Innoventions. I normally would feel guilty, but if someone in my group insults my second home, I get furious.

Your dorky friend doesn't even know what is "Disneyland!" It is your friend's first time and asking stupid questions about the park. What made me really mad that he said to tear down Disneyland and rebuilt. What the Hell?
Main Street USA is supposed to look old, themed like the 1890's to 1910's.

Wendell I'm sorry but you totally missed a great opportunity to explain how cool Disneyland really is. Obviously he doesn't know one iota of the origins of anything, he might change his tune if you showed him. Did he watch the 50th movie? He might enjoy that, possibly, it's worth a shot anyway.

Screaming on tides that don't need a scream. POTC waterfall is not scream worthy. HM is not scream worthy - except in the stretching room during the lightning, it's cool then, adds to the event. Scream down the "big" Splash Mountain if you want, it fits the moment, not the little ones.

So I kind of look like the singer Brandy if I wear braids in my hair. I'm only 18 now...but I cannot tell you how many foreigners have come up to me to get my picture for the last 6 years....EVERY time I am in the park. I was flattered at first, but now it's rather irritating.
Oh yeah, I WAS THERE JULY 17, and I was trying to watch the thing with Diane Disney Miller and the CEO's and Art, so I tried to find a place to stand. And there was a good spot on the other side of the ropes right in front of Tomorrowland. There was obviously room to fill up, so my brother and I jumped at the chance. As soon as I make my move, a woman whom I had passed yells at me to move because she had been waiting for 3 hours. If she had really been waiting there for three hours, she would have seen that there was about a 10 foot circumference of space to fill in front of her. I ignored her, and it was starting to ruin my day, until others started to fill in the space as well. Come on, its Disneyland...on the 50th...there are bound to be crowds like no other, this isnt 5th row at a Phoenix Suns game....GO SUNS.

When I went last Friday(the 4th), I was riding Soarin' when something annoying happen. I always like this ride because it always makes me feel like I'm flying. Anyway, when we're were flying over Napa Valley, someone was taking flash pictures(yes, FLASH pictures), making me snap out of the ride's atmosphere. I was in one end of the room (row A) and whoever it was was in row C taking the flash pictures. He/She kept doing this until the end of the ride. It got me annoyed because the flash kept distracting me from enjoying the ride.:mad: More annoyed because I got in using a Fastpass(stand-by was 35 mins), so I couldn't go back in again.:frown: I'm somewhat surprised that the CMs didn't noticed this. I get tempted to take pics in there, but I don't. If I do, it be non-flash pics, those are much better.

Okay I was on pirates and i finally got to ride in the front right. And there was this like 4 year old kid who had to point out every single noticable object in the whole ride. And if the kid didnt notice it the dad pointed it out for the kid so then the kid would ask 200000 questions about it. FOR EXAMPLE
that sky isnt real?
Its made to look real though
Thats not a real water fall but its fast.
Theres another one up ahead.
Its not as big.
These caves are fake right.
Is that a real skeleton.
Look at the treasure.
I thought that pirate was real.
Thats not a real cannon.
That slash almost got me wet.
I love ice cream
Look at the fire!
thats not real fire
It looks real though
Look theres a dog and hes holding the key
see and the pirates are trying to get it
Those look real.
Theres another boat
Oh we hit the boat.
Oh theres another boat behind us
That boat hit us
Oh look at the parrot
Do u see the parrot
and the sign!
Were back at the entrance
Okay were going on out of water
now were on a chain
back into the water but its not fully in the water yet.
Yeah I KNOW! DRIVES YOUR OFF THE WALL! Im like okay, keep it together kyle. Hes like 4 years old. I would of done the same.
AND THEN on Soarin there was this kid who was like 5 or 6 who hasnt been on it yet and he was crying his butt off. He was like nooooo i can wait out in the front. and his dad was like ITS NOT SCAREY. Then the kid was like YES IT IS. And then that went on for like 20 minutes and finally the dad was like your right. There are monsters and ghosts and it feels like there going to kill you.
I finally got enough nerve to litterally turn around and say. YOUR NOT MAKING IT ANY BETTER. The kids dad just stood there and stared at me and I turned around and was like GOD! then we went on it and the kid turned out to like it. And Thats drives me nut!!

Kids these days...
Will I heard a similar story like yours, I was watching The Chronicles of Narnia, I sat next two kids and a father. The female one on the left and the dad on the middle and the male one on the right. During the beginning of the movie, they were asking annoying questions like the ones on your post. It gets on my nerves and it drives me nuts, but I ignore them and I watched the movie. They ask curious kiddy questions like: (They keep on asking questions throughout the whole movie, expect the battle part, the kids' father tell them to be quiet and watch, but they didn't. They were quiet in some parts, not as annoying).
Why do animals talk?
Where is the lion going?
Why is he running away?
Will he come back?
Why is she opening the door? Is something going pop out to scare us. (It's the wardrobe for godsakes)
Is he coming back?
Are those real?
Why is it so funny daddy? (during a comical relief in the movie)
Daddy I am scared.
Are those swords and armors real?
You name it.

when my mom goes she gets to go to special handicap access entrances and go to the front of the line and as a courtesy, she gets to take us with her. One time, I got to, or had to rather, use the same entrances due to a severely painful infection on my feet and a painful baseball injury to my knee. every time I have used these entrances, whether with my mom or myself (one time thing), it always feels so humiliating. not because we feel guilty, but because of the way the other people treat us when they see us going to the front. Its like... she didnt do this to herself to go to the front... its like this every day. and people get so mad and rude. thankfully, the castmembers do what they can to keep you feeling comfortable and relatively normal. i recall one man reaching across the barrier to physically restrain one of us and say that he had been waiting and stuff and that we would not go to the front of the line. I had to physically remove him from me. thankfully, a cast member was nearby and the problem was solved. When it was just me, it was humiliating enought to have to gimp around on crutches and when I got too exausted, to be pushed in a wheelchair. i was a high school athlete, very proud, and had no desire to spend my trip at a handicap-eye-view of the park. people made me feel guilty for something that had happened to me. At one point, I took off my shoe to reveal the bloody sock underneath and the lady who had a problem shut up real fast... other than that.. girls screaming... laser pointers.... stuff like that is irritating on rides.

Though I nobody screamed, purposly or actually scared, I could imagine how annoying it must be. It temps me to stand up and jump to that doom buggie and actually give them something to scream about. But, I remember a few years ago, when I went to Disneyland for the last time. It was in It's A Small World, some kid was shouting throughout the whole ride. It was really annoying and regretted the ride that ride in that time. Fortunately, the ride was pretty short. No traffic, I mean no cast member stopped the boats the help the handicapped people, since there are none at the time, and the bumper-to-bumper wait lasts to the last section of the ride. It was the most annoying experience in my life.

Yeah, it bothers me too. It doesn't bother me much in POTC & HM. The time it bother me most is on Soarin'. I posted the story earlier, but I also want to add that after the ride ended as I exited, someone else took another flash pic of the loading area, but the flash blinded me for a couple seconds. I'm still wondering why none of the CMs notice the flash during the ride.

1) Flash photographer, especially when you are in a showroom that is dependent on the dark to convey its illusion. For example, this lady was taking pictures when we were floating around the Blue Bayou! Finally a man said "excuse me, you are ruining the expirence for the rest of us." and she just said "We'll thats your problem!"
2) I get annoyed when I'm on Pirates of the Carribean, and the boats are stacking at the bottom of the lift--once we were stuck all the way in the flaming town, and had to wait quite a while, just to make it up the lift.
3) I hate stapling! I dont think Disney is as bad as SFMM or Knotts when it comes to this, but you know how the ride operators walk around and pull up on your restraint, to make sure its secure? Well, stapling is when they also push down on your restraint, to ensure that your restraint is on tightly. This often means locking your restraint in an uncomfortable position.

I said no its all smooth sailing his parents looked at me with a wink and boarded the row in font of me then it happend we aproched the big drop he looked back at me with a ticked off look and started to cry we went down the drop and it turned out he loved it and asked his parents if they could do it again !!!! :p
...it always feels so humiliating because of the way the other people treat us when they see us going to the front. Its like... she didnt do this to herself to go to the front... its like this every day. and people get so mad and rude. ...people made me feel guilty for something that had happened to me...That's shameful that people assume the worst, that you're faking or taking advantage. Handicap access is there for a reason. I think every person should have to spend on entire busy day full of apointments in an oversize wheelchair, and discover exactly how many places you simply can't go at all if you rely on one. Maybe they'd feel a little differently about it after that.

Yep... it sucks when people treat others bad. the worst was the time when I had to wheelchair it around.... i was pretty tired from crutching.. and I guess the line attendant cm didnt believe me.. even after I showed him the little pamphlet from the town hall. To give him the benefit of the doubt, we had seen a group of kids taking turns in a rented wheelchair to take advantage.. he was probably on his guard. but this guy made me get out of my chair and I had to crutch my wat through the line. it was indy. long line... stairs.... when we got the car, the cm there asked why we waited in line. I told her that the cm at the front kinda forced us to.. I hop that guy didnt get in trouble cause the cm was pretty mad when she found out we had been sent through the regular line on crutches.

Last month, after I got off BLAB, I went to the photo area so I can email my pic. When it was my turn, a couple of kids went in front of me & kept touching the buttons on the screen. This was very annoying cuz I was trying to look for my photo & these kids kept pushing all of them & I had to press "No" to get back to the menu everytime. Jeez! Did this happen to anybody here?
The last time I went to DL(which 2 weeks ago), I was on POTC and what do know, someone was taking flash pics! They were on the same boat as me, they were in the row behind me. When the boat was in the cave area, thats when they started to take the pics. They must have seen me with my camera and thought I was taking pics, so they took pics. I wasn't even taking pictures, I was using the camera's Video mode to record some short clips of the ride. I even have the flash of the other group's camera show up on one clip.

Last time I was at the park I was on POTC and some girls kept looking through their pictures in the row infront of me and it make a little beeping noise. And if they found one interesting, they'd all start their high-pitched giggling. And then they started taking pictures of eachother and it would flash and it would be in my eye and at one point I looked intothe camera and gave them a dirty look and when they saw it, they turned around and one of the girls went "you're gunna break my camera!" and then the other two started laughing and I said "yeah and if you don't put it away, it's going for a swim!" They put it away.

What I really, Really, REALLY don't like is when tourists begin to talk LOUDLY on an attraction, not paying any attention to the ride! GRRRR! This happened to me the last time I went on POTC. A group of foreign tourists just wouldn't shut up! They kept talking loudly about events within their family and from time to time they would raise their cameras and snap flash pictures inside the ride. That really got me boiling!
dctrdez
01-18-2006, 11:30 PM
Yep, it's gotta be the infernal talking during the rides. Especially Pirates. The last time I rode it, I was stuck with some people who felt that they suddenly needed to talk (loudly) about things totally unrelated to the ride around them. The Bayou section was torture...it reminded me of the scene in Dumb and Dumber where Jim Carrey is at the bar and the woman keeps talking to him with his head down on the counter, and he finally says, "I don't CARE!"
I'm also greatly annoyed by the large crowds in Disneyland that create the traffic jams over by the teacups, over by the Mark Twain dock, over by the Splash Mountain bridge, etc. etc. Although, the last time I was there, there were very FEW people there...I think that was the best time I've ever had at Disneyland with my family, and the decreased crowds were a large factor in it.
Oh yes, it's also slightly annoying when riding rides that are being operated by new Cast Members. For instance, getting stuck on a Jungle Cruise boat with a nervous, unfit-for-the-duties-of-the-attraction skipper with bad joke delivery (this is probably my favorite ride, so it naturally peevs me a little more...:p). Last time I was there, I got stuck on a raft coming back from Tom Sawyer's Island with a skipper's first-time solo-maneuvering. You can imagine how difficult it is with the single jet tiller, the boat traffic, the people watching, and then the Raft Supervisor yelling from the shore on how to bring it back. We nearly swamped a few canoes and delayed the Mark Twain from continuing its journey (being on the edge of a very full boat, our feet got to know the Rivers of America quite intimately a few times). After spinning endlessly in the middle of the river and a few violent rammings of the dock, we finally got in the right position to disembark and allow river traffic to proceed as normal; a nice sized crowd had gathered to watch the 10 minute river crossing spectacle. Fortunately, the supervisor was understanding with the first time skipper (who was sweating up a storm) and we all gave her some applause when she finally made it.

I know people mentioned it, but I must reiterate exactly how annoying strollers actually are in the park. For the sake of all of us people, if your kids cannot handle walking, don't bring them to DL. If your kids are too young to even realize where they are, don't bring them to DL. They won't remember it anyway!
I'm so sick of seeing strollers everywhere I walk in DL. I played a game last time I was there. For about 10 minutes I tried counting, in my head, to 10 without seeing a stroller. I couldn't do it. It was seriously impossible.
The park wasn't designed as a place to bring your newborn child. In fact, I'd consider it a health hazard for the child to be in a crowded environment that young.
I have neices and nephews. They're young, and they walk just fine and they're healthy. I'm so sick of seeing children that are like 8 or 9 in strollers because they're too lazy to walk. Whatever...
Some woman actually cursed at me because I wouln't get out of the way of her stoller. I felt like kicking it over and yelling at her, but I restrained myself.
On the stroller topic also, I'm sick of people with strollers thinking they have the right of way at all times. I'm sorry, but it was your decision to bring the stroller to DL, you deal with that decision. Don't hit me in the ankles and try to run me over just because you think I need to get out of your way like your child is being rushed to the hospital or something.
**WHEW** sorry, that was my rant on strollers.
Oh, and I hate parents who ruin DL for their kids by not letting them have fun and making them go on rides they don't want to ride, or trying to point things out to the child like they're stupid: "Oh look Timmy, a pirate!!!" DO YOU SEE THE PIRATE?!!???" Luckily, my parents never did this to me because it's incredibly condescending.
That is all for now... I think everyone else covered my gripes! :icon_lol::icon_lol:

Do they do it as some sort of act of bravado, to show everyone that they're not scared and that they're man enough (or woman enough) not to hold on to anything? Because that's just silly and kind of pathetic.

Because when you're not holding onto anything, there's no other reactive force to the negative G's that would be there when you are holding on to something. That way, you're free to just float off the seat until gravity sits you back down again. Makes for a somewhat more thrilling coaster ride.

I'll make this brief and to the point.
Going on Pirates of the Caribbean with a group of very loud and rambunctious teens.
I always try let a few other people cut me in line, so I won't get stuck in a boat with them.

I put my arms up on rollercoasters just because I like to and I think it is fun! On attractoins where they take your photo though, I put my arms down so I don't block the person behind me. It's especially fun to put your arms up on BTMR because you slide all over the seat.:tongue:
As for strollers, I have to agree with tboss. I mean there should be some kind of stroller capacity for DL, just like guest capacity. I've had people look me right in the eye and ram their stroller into me. The worst was on the night of July 17th. I got stuck in an awful traffic jam of people in Adventureland. It ws literally grid locked because Fantasmic had just gotten over with. No one could move anywhere. This lady behind with a stroller kept saying"excuse me" and then procedded to ram the stroller into my ankles. I let it happen a couple of times thinking maybe she just couldn't judge the front of the stroller. After about 5 or 6 times I finally nudged the stroller just like she was nudging my ankle and I said "I cannot move, so I don't know where you think you are going to get by runnig me over". That did not go over well as her 12 year old son threatened me. I mean, that HURT when she ran into me. She was running into bare skin. I just don't understand how selfish and rude people can be.:eek: It really is too bad. Ok, done ranting:tongue:

i'm a pretty tall guy.. and especially on stuff like big thunder and the matterhorn, I tend to keep my arms down for fear of hitting something. what exactly is the clearance for those... and space mountain? i mean, I would love to do it... but I dont think everybody waiting in line would appreciate seeing an armless guy getting off the ride right as they get on. it might be a little discouraging... not to mention the blood in the seat... haha
I'm 6'2" & a former basketball player. I've kept my hands up on Matterhorn, Thunder Mtn, Space Mtn, etc & never had a problem. Many times, coaster designers will put those elements there so you think your head/arms will get chopped off but its merely an illusion. In coaster jargon, they're called 'headchoppers' & they add to the thrill/excitement of a ride.

i think the biggest thing that annoys me is waiting for others who don't know if they want to get on rides. for example, last summer i was getting ready to get on space mt. and was right at the bottom of the final ramp so i was literally steps away from the loading gates. There was this lady who was still freaking out about getting on a roller coaster. i mean, we'd be standing in line for a whole hour and she still wasn't sure whether or not she was ready to board. she got in the coaster, jumped back out, and then finally got drug in again. and then since i saw her get out since her train was the one ahead of mine at the end, she was on the verge of tears and screaming that it was the worst ride she'd ever been on and that Disney shouldn't be allowed to put rides like that in their parks. these incidents really just piss me off when they ruin the experience for other riders and people who're perfectly happy and previously enjoying themselves.
oh. and also when people recite ride speeches or sing songs and totally do not know the words. *UGH*

oy I cannot believe what people do at disneyland and at disney's California adventure. This is a true story. on the last showtime of the day of Aladdin A Musical Spectacular, a friend and I decide to go and watch the last show of the day. It was a great performance no doubt about that, but its what happened during the show. Okay I may have expected this from a teenager or a child, but this happened to be an adult. During the show, there was this guy who would outcry throughout the show, he would call out "THATS WHAT HE IS THERE FOR!", "ITS YOUR JOB.!!!", and okay so this might not be annoying... it is RUDE!!!!!... I mean come on you don't scream at the actors during a performance in an outside musical do you???...I mean come on I would of expected this from a child or a teenager, but this happened to be a father of two children and his wife happened to encourage him with his actions. I do humbly say I wish that some people would just keep those kinds of comments to themselves. But oh well, at least I got to ride Its a Small World that day after its week and a half refurb. This occured on January 18, 2006.

you just have to remember that people enjoy their rides differently.
some sing some hum and some people just sit quietly.
u just have to phase it out and remember to enjoy the ride :D

i love it when people sing the song

its a friendly thing
and it also shows love for the ride
it always happened on pirates, spash, and sometimes indy to the tunes

But on The Haunted Mansion I like to pretend I'm alone, trapped! in the old dark house! When people have conversations over the spiel or say it along it kind of spoils things for others.

I don't like when people sing because i want to hear all the sounds around me from the audio animatronics.

It was on Star Tours and then they kept on screaming and all the words and yelling them in my ear, but as you said you do it quietly, but still people get annoying sometimes, XD JK!

I have this friend named Pamela. She's a really attractive girl. And this is good. Unfortunately every time I go to the parks with her, these stupid teenage boys would flock around us. There was this one event we were in the Haunted Mansion when these two boys in the doombuggy next to ours knocked on ours and asked rather loudly, "ARE YOU GUYS HAWT?!"
Other things that annoy me... seeing people wearing the same Jack Skellington sweater, people making out in your boat, random screaming during a spiel, parents who force their kids on rides, people booing at the actors who play Jafar or the Wicked Queen during shows, comparing the POTC movie to the ride in an obnoxious manner...
I admit I took some of my share in vexing others. Last time I was there, a friend and I were watching videos on my iPod, headphones blaring and ruining the dark atmosphere of POTC. Ha. Ha...

I went on POTC when they had the bigger boats(like 2 yrs. ago) and our boat was PACKED with people. and they weren't just regular people, they were bigger sized and there were people in my group and they squished us all in the last row. so our boat went terribly SLOW and after the drop, the boat was down a little and a huge wave of water came behind us and soaked us!! and same thing @ the end. we had to stand up for the last 30 sec. and they said sit but we couldn't and it was miserable. lol. but they gave us passes to cut a couple lines but still, it was bad :icon_shoc
that is soooooooooo mean...this has nothing to do with people being rude and deliberately doing things for attention purposes...shame on you:mad:

Hey, not to sound rude, but every time I watch the fireworks, I am sitting in my spot WAY in advance, and I do not take too kindly to someone who doesn't have the patience to wait as long as I have to try and get as good of a spot as I have.
amen...I feel the same way...I go right when the first show ends and stay there until it starts...

You know what, Mousekiteer? I noticed the exact same thing. Why is almost everybody I see there wearing the Jack Skellington sweater? I have this weird habit of wearing WWE shirts to DLR lately. Everytime I go there, it's either my Chris Benoit "4 Real" T-shirt or my Christian "Peep Show" T-shirt. It's really weird.

,.... people making out in your boat, ...
I kninda have mixed feelings on that one. for example... we are taking a very late honeymoon and celebrating our first anneversary at the park. I plan on kssing my wife. I dont plan on devouring her or getting it on in the park or anything like that. public displays of affection become offensive when they stop being tasteful... i mean.. you want the kinda kiss that makes others say.. oh how sweet.. instead of .. get a room. Its kinda annoying for us when we are sharing a tender moment and someone makes a big deal out of something innocent.

^^^I second that.
It's about the line that divides "awwww..." from "Get a room..."

Something that really annoyed me the second to the last time I went to DL was on Pirates there were these pre-teen boys in the row behind my friend and me. They kept saying stupid things about how the ride was based off the movie...*grits teeth* We were both trying to ignore it.
Another thing are the people who want to sit down for the fireworks when they are quite a way's back, and they yell at everyone in front of them to "sit down!". That happened last time I was there, finally someone beside us said, "stand up!" to the people behind us.

i have been known to talk on the rides, but not loudly. If i do it's becasue I'm somewhat deaf and so i have to hear myself for comfort. i will quote,some rides, like the HM. the last time (and the second time) I was on that ride, I was quoting from the ride track i have so I knew what was coming (for years I have feared HM for a childish reason.) POTC I will sing quietly or the whole boat is singing I will too. As for screaming...
I'm like you all screaming at some points is stupid, though some may scream on POTC from habit (do that.)
And another confession... I scream. Not at the most stupidest time but I do scream. ToT I will scream before the ride starts after you are buckled in, because of Adreniline build up and if i don't scream before the ride I will shake and become sick when the ride is over.
Now my comaplining...
i hate it when childeren are more adult then the adults, its not the kids fault that they have to apologies for their parents.
How some treat the disabled... my parents have a hard time walking (my dad from being a Postman and my mother from a disease, much less standing in line. My siblings and i have offered to push them around in the wheelchairs if we go, but after what we have seen... my parents don't want to. I can't blame them.
If i think of others I will let you all know.

When a group of people just walks through the entire queue area to catch up with one member of the family/group. If only everyone in the line could be of the same mindframe about this so that this stuff would stop once and for all.
Maybe I get too quickly irritated with that situation, but I thought there were unspoken rules about lines which precluded such things.

^ Line jumping like that is grounds for removal from the park. If you see one person saving the spot for a group of 8 or so, let someone know about it. My dad always made me come back to him if I ended up ahead in line somehow. People just don't give a darn anymore.

I second that one. I was however, rather rudely and forcibly removed from my kid brother one time. they were japanese and in their defense, probably didnt see him and couldnt understand when I tried to explain. they were cool about it when he cut about 5 of them to get back to where i was.

Ya know, I have a Skellington hoodie, and it's because I'm a true fan of the movie and Tim Burton in general. The skellington hoodie is the only piece if merchandise available to public (that I will actually wear) that enables me to express my love for the film. Now, in all honesty, some of these kids were just babies when the movie came out and are just jumping in the wagon which is whats truly annoying. It isn't the hoodie, i
