What was she thinking when she clicked her seatbelt or pulled down the lapbar??? I'm sorry, but if she didn't "get it" when the safety restraints were put into place, I think she really was ok with it...I mean, I'm sure she's more or less playfully "hating" on you about this..I think it's funny, shoot, she had more than enough warning that, hey this is a joke...

How can you laugh when you know you're making someone confront the one thing in the world that scares the bejeezus out of them? I don't see how that's funny. Also, baiting someone just because they trust you and they're gullible enough to believe you makes it worse. Had I told my mom you could get off Tower of Terror before the drops began, she would've believed me because she trusts me. I don't think that makes her "not very bright".

Again, how is watching someone get scared out of their wits fun? I know someone who wouldn't stop to let his pregnant wife use the bathroom during a road trip because he thought it was funny. She ended up in tears. It's NOT funny to torture someone for your own benefit.

THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING!! She plays these jokes all the time. Hey guess what, let's just drop it. And plus, who ever said I laughed?
