It Seems That I Have: THE VOICE!!!!

[DLRFantasmic!Dan]

Apparently, I have an "OFFICIAL" voice that makes SGS stop doing stupid stuff.

One story, tonight I was on my home from the parks. I was heading to my car in the parking structure when I caught some Teen SGs, who appear to be cheerleaders, going up the down escalator. In my deep, "OFFICIAL," voice, I yell out, "YOU ARE GOING THE WRONG WAY!!!!!!" So in a moment of panic, they stopped and got off the escalator. The mom of the group realized that it was me and told me that they were with her. She then turned to the cheerleaders that my voice wasn't anyone of "authority!!" HOW DARE SHE SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT!!! :eek:

You were doing the right thing-even the cheerleaders knew it!
"Mom" will learn someday that she didn't teach her kids any respect for anybody,and they may take that out on her in her senior years. Have fun
dealing with your "Adult Children" then,Mom!:twisted:

One thing that I've learned is that it is never wise to assume that someone is not "authority" simply based on how they look.

Shame she never learned the same lesson.

Haha, I hope she says that to a plain clothes one day. Then gets escorted out on her merry way. :D:

Annnnnd that's my vote for what's wrong with many of today's young adults. Their parents have told them they're special for so long that they believe it. Rules apply to everyone but YOU.

One of my pet peeves is disabled parking violations. I will take the time and help the enforcement officers research (looking up placard owners, reviewing videos, verifying it's valid with DMV, etc.)

I've had the parents come in and argue they were in the car. I've shown them video and they still insist they were there.


DisneyMom -you're dead on! Reminds me of the song Cat's in the Cradle.

When I was a senior in college one of my courses was Auditing. The instructor was a CPA.

Anyway, after the first test the class average was somewhere around 70, and he let us know he was displeased. He did not have to raise his voice, and he did not have to use any profanity. But we all knew we had been very professionally chewed out (and rightly so).

Anyway, I had been working as a grader and tutor in the Accounting Department (for Freshman Accounting) and happened to be in this instructor's office one day and saw his wallet open on his desk. The top item in it was a retired military ID showing he had been a Colonel in the Marines.

I worked for a Colonel in the Army that was a master at ass chewing. He was so good at it that the subject wouldn't realize his ass had been chewed until he stood up and it fell on the floor.

You've got a point.

Some people just have no respect for anyone else.

I am waiting for the group to fall and have a new bar code implanted on their face.:D:

Escalators are a terrible place to play around-I knew someone who wasn't playing around but who got their clothing caught in one, it made them fall and suffer a cervical fracture-ended up quadriplegic:(

:cool:

I have been able to do that in few times, its a great feeling.

(not kicking someone out of an amuzement park, but "making a federal case" out of something! I.E. Arrest)

A few decades ago, I was a security guard for a rent-a-cop outfit, and had a steady post at a now-defunct membership department store. Anyway, if you bought something like a TV, bicycle, etc., you had to go around to the pickup door and the on duty security guard and warehouse man would get it for you and have you sign the receipt. One elderly gentleman came in and started on about my "little tin badge", etc. the rigamarole of having to get his stuff this way. I calmly told him the badge was brass, not tin, and that this was the way the company worked, otherwise somebody could come up, claim to be him and get his stuff. He shut up.

It's bad enough when kids don't have respect for authority or obey rules, but when people who are in the senior citizen classification do the same thing, that's really scary! I mean, the generation before mine had the daylights whipped out of them for even thinking of doing something wrong or disobeying the rules; my generation (baby boomer) was the last one to get paddled. Talking to people trying to settle the issue instead of walloping them does no good most of the time, because they know how to work the system. They are onlyu sorry because they got caught, or because it's expected of them, to get the authorities off their back. But they don't mean it. I saw an online article earlier about a 6th grader who spilled his milk in the school cafeteria, and ended up in handcuffs. Really lame reason right there. You should have read some of the comments.

Ooooh, "The Voice". An envious talent indeed. (warning: WDW story coming) One of my friends works on the Monorail. We went to DHS and made the mistake of going to Midway Mania. Truly horrific line, like always. Out of boredom, he yells "move all the way in folks, all the way in, make room for everybody behind you". Mysteriously, the line moved about 20 feet forward almost instantly.

TL;DR version: "The Voice" should be considered a superpower.

I wonder if Herbert ever worked at a theme park? It would explain a few things.

If you have THE VOICE, then I must have THE EYES.

Saw a kid playing around in one of the flowerbeds in Tomorrowland. I stopped to look at her with a smile on my face, yet my eyes say otherwise. Didn't say anything at all. She saw me, stopped what she was doing, and quickly hightailed it out of the flowerbed. :D:

They can be taught!

Nice. You should work on getting that into the Traditions class. Those could come in handy some times when you can't leave your post and go over to kids.
