And they are always taller than I am. When my son was in a stroller, I'd put the stroller under and beyond the rope, and held my ground. pulled it back JUST before the parade got to us.

Now he stated that we a chair short (in a slightly louder than normal voice) and while no one fesses up, there was a party of 5 close by that would not even look at us!

Originally Posted By Labuda It was indeed the former. But I just had to ensure that the false emphasis on the word ALWAYS was pointed out.
Originally Posted By MinnieSummer I've thought of another, although I've only seen it on the Teacups. People who lift their children over the fence and board the ride without standing in the line.

I told the cast member at the front of the line. She just shrugged her shoulders.

Originally Posted By elene I had a rude encounter the other day. We were at Sea World (sorry, not Disney related) sitting at the Shamu show and the child in the row behind us kept kicking the seats.

Of course we were already in the upper splash zone but in an area I knew we wouldn't get wet. I wasn't about to move lower.

After asking nicely the first time, my wife turned around and said that since her daughter was only 4 it wasn't too late to teach her some manners. Considering our own 4yo and 18 month old were sitting there quietly waiting for the show to start the woman couldn't say anything.

Originally Posted By elene The lady might not have been as fond of my husband's response to her "she's only 4" excuse which was "why don't you try parenting". We don't have children so our tollerance is probably lower than some but at least if she had apologized and made an effort that would have been ok (rather than yelling at me as though I had done something wrong). In reality she must have done something because the kicking did stop mostly after that.

However.. blame the goverment for all this... since "Equality Laws" have created a false sense of self-entitlement on everyone in this country. The "me me me me" syndrome if you will...
