View Full Version : As a guest in Pirets

OK, so my friend and I are guests on Pirets and we're talking stupid stuff; hidden Mickeys, rides dates, random junk like that; half way through the ride at the battle scene this guy turns around and says really freakin' rude: Can you guys talk more quietly! I was so dumbfounded I didn't know what to say. Man, he kept looking at her for about a min straight, just staring her down. RUDE! So, on the rest of the ride I was telling her that, while in line, I was trying to figure out if the girl that was with him was a girl or not. Never saw her face but she had misquito bites for boobs. She needed a sign that said front and back. With how evil the guy was I figured we needed a hardy laugh. After we got off the ride his female companion shoots my friend a dirty look! We laughed about it after we got off, but man! You can't even talk on a ride without someone wanting to kill you, and I didn't think that we were talking loud. I thought that I was wipsering to her the whole time.

Ok DL Sweeper, first off, learn how to spell.
Second, do you actually work for DL or are you a AP? I would have to think that with your comments that you are a AP.
See, I do work for DL and I have noticed lately how rude the AP's have been getting. They seem to think that since they have forked out some extra money that they own the park. Did you ever stop to think that maybe the people in the boat with you have never been to DL before? I know if I had to pay what they are charging to visit the House of Mouse, I would want to be able to hear all the speils, whistles & bangs and NOT some flunky chattering on about something. See, I had bad experiences with some AP's..Can you tell? I brought my brother (his first time thru Holiday Mansion and he by chance is in a wheelchair). Well, you couldn't hear a damn thing because the AP's and there were about 20 of them were recited the speil in the stretching room together. Very annoying since they were so loud and thought that they were being cute. Ok, we waited till the room cleared so I could take my brother out and wheel him down the hallway before you get to the doombuggies. This AP ( and I know he was an AP because he identified himself as an AP and he has been on this ride hundreds of times) He tried to tell me that I was going the wrong way! He said that I had to stop till a guide came thru and got us and that he acually grabbed my brother's wheelchair and held it not letting us pass! Well, I am a big guy and I politely shoved him away and we got around him! I couldn't believe the balls this guy had! Needless to say when we got to the buggys, I was recognized by the hostess and told her what had happened. She shook her head and appologized. Luckly my borther laughed it off, but it kinda put a damper on the rest of our day there. So, yes, I am not thrilled woth most of the AP's.....Ok, I have vented now.

Tell me this is a joke, Sweep. With the gross spelling errors, coupled with the fact that you've posted here lots, please let this be some kind of parody. Otherwise, I can't fathom why someone would think getting "shushed" is rude, when talking on the ride is the rude behavior.

Over on LaughingPlace there was a discussion about how this woman shushed up these two people after they had made a teeny-tiny, quiet comment on IASW... in which case, the point goes to the person venting on this woman. Totally different situation compared to what you just described. And way to resort to meaningless and unrelated insults that add no point whatsoever to your side of the story. Anyway, I hope you're joking because you fooled me.

Even with as many times as I've been to DL (once was an AP), I never said nothing. I loved to indulge myself in the surroundings. And I also think it's rude for people to be talking nonstop on an attraction. I bet that man had many other experiences with people blabbering about other rides, maybe that is why he was, as you say "rude". I would be too.

I would have to agree that it is kinda rude to be talking throughout the entire attraction. It ranks up there with those APs or other guests that feel the need to recite the entire spiel from the elevator room on the Haunted Mansion.

I CAN'T STAND THOSE PEOPLE! :bang:
One time during summer I got so fed up with it that I shushed really loud. I dont know if anyone knew it was me, but FUCK IT ANNOYS ME LIKE NO OTHER.

It's nice to know that castmembers are entering the guests' realm of stupidity and assholiness.

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I KNOW I KNOW!
wow guys way to rip the long timers a new one, i thought that story was great, just because he didn't let the other guy win, DLSweeper, is just that a dl sweeper, and the shit that all cast member have to put up with is justified with the crap we give guests when guests. it's the internet, speeling doesn't count, error not intentional, but i'm going to leave it because only uptight ninnys would nitpick it. sure it took me a second or two to figure out pirets but it's foenetik. and what's with all the language being tossed around. This is a different atmosphere than other forums, we're not here to tear at each other, i've got one and it works just fine, so long as i don't get pasta with redsauce from starz dinners, and i'm sure sweeper's is fine too, so why rip new ones!?
If some new kid at your work location were to walk up to you and start telling you that you're not doing your job right, and that you act like an AP, you'd proably remind them of their role. Yeah y'all sound like that new kid right now, go sandpaper your ID and make it at least look like you have some sort of talking rights.

Reguardless if they are a CM, AP, or none of those, if you are bothering the hell out of me and others, I'll go out of my way to let you know that it bothers me :)
that's just as bothersome to the person bothering you, whatever happened to mannors? if someone is bugging me on a ride i'll eaither ignore it, and if it's a short wait, ride agian, or if it's really buggin me, or i know it's going to be some time before i get another chance to go on, i'll ask them to politely discontinue what they're doing, and if they don't stop oh well, it sucks, but, i'll certainly live.

I think "what happened to manners" is our main point, here. Although I can't judge based on the tone, I can say that the man's choice of words was polite.
but staring down the person isn't. that's just like say let's go B, show me what you got, and then they got it.

DLSweeper is in fact a CM. Won't get into sushing vs talking while on an attraction. Am guilty of both. But coming down so harshly on a known CM/poster for a few spelling errors is just plain wrong :!: A display of valid education & "good manners" dictates acceptance. Once was told spelling OL is no big deal....especially when relaxing. Let's learn to lighten up. THANKS :)

I agree there... regardless of whether or not they are well-known, it's wrong. Just as is going about talking behind someone's back (literally, I might add) about their breast size/gender.

On a slight tangent, I've always wondered about the phrase "behind someone's back"... Wouldn't behind someone's back be in front of them? If you were talking about them with their back turned, wouldn't you be in front of their back?
Or do I just need to change my medication dosage? :lol:
(change the dose) it was a rude way to get back, but if you've not had the urge to do that to a guest yet, then you need to spend a few more weeks in the magic kingdom, work a Fantasmic! shift, or do anything that invovles working in the foods or retail line of bussiness. Anyone who worked this past holiday season should probably be at that point as well.

Good point about the behind-the-back thing... makes me ponder. Hmm.

Okay, now I'm really confused. Is it just me, or were you disagreeing with me a while ago?
This is my point exactly. For all we know, the guy DLSweeper was talking about (let's call him Bob, shall we) has a job with as much exposure to rude guests as a Cast Member. So, are you talking about Bob's snappy comment to DLSweeper, or are you talking about what DLSweeper said about his girlfriend, wife, gal pal, whatever you want to call her? (Ah, Jane would be a good name.)
sweeper's assault wasn't exactly what i would call nice, a fun thought at most, but never anythign i would actually say. As far as the respones by indybob, and a few others, they were just as rude, it isn't just people's reponses in this thread, it's responses across the whole forum, i'm not saying i'm and angel, nor am i claiming that i've never been nasty on these threads. I think that what i really would like to see is just a simple basic respect, sweeper has been posting here for at least as long as i have, and all these new names just ripped him a new one, i don't get it, if this is how this place is going to be from here on out, then i'm not going to stick around.

Okay folks, I'm noticing that this thread isn't really progressing in a good direction....not that there are a whole ton of directions where this thread could go, but I digress.
The SGT staff has a lot of work to do in the next few days, so I'm closing this thread so that we can concentrate on the things that need to be done. If the OP wishes, I will re-open this thread after the 30th. Just PM me, and it will be done.
