And for the record, if you are catching flies, you want a mixture of honey and vinegar... Only a touch of vinegar.felinefan wrote:Actually, the quote is "You catch more flies with honey than you do with VINEGAR." Idea is you get better results being polite than being rude.
My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Re: Things that make you crazy!
Well, my only problems with smokers are that they are literally playing with fire (I've had a few accidents in my youth brushing up against my dad when he's got a lit cigarette in hand; ouch) and the smell. It's especially horrendous when Guests throw away cigarettes in a trash can and people like me (bussers) come along to change them out only to have the trash can burp up this contained air bubble of concentrated cigarette smell into my face. DX And on some occasions, I find that there are holes in the bottom of the bag from still-burning butts. >_<Darksin wrote:I try to be polite about it, I know many people don't want to be around others who are smoking and it's really not that inconvenient to go to a smoking area.
Sometimes it does feel like theme parks banish us to the moon because we smoke, the biggest problem I have is in some parks (like Epcot) who got rid of many smoking areas you have to hike halfway around World Showcase to get into a smoking area. Norway then you have to head all the way around to Italy and after that the far side of France to find one.
I really don't see the point of smoking areas at all. The wind spreads the smell and smoke everywhere anyhow. People with asthma and other lung problems can't avoid smokers at all knowing that. Although, I wouldn't mind having a Darth Vader-esque mask and tank on in place of my inhaler. Can't speak for other asthma sufferers, though.

Disney needs to create a large reverse cone of shame for smoking sections. Put a big fan at the top and filtration system. "You must stand under the cone of shame to smoke."

At work we had the cigarette butt can catch on fire. Kept wondering what that horrendous smell was and then we figured it out. Didn't smell any better after we put it out.

Sounds like a great use for the Sorcerer Hat at DHS! :D:

Honestly, I'm not going to argue this one any further it only starts a shitstorm to keep it going.
So on to a new topic!
I'm sure one of you still working at the parks has some complete pet peeve that makes you want to bang your head against a hard surface. What's currently making you go crazy?
As for me, the Christmas music. At this point I think I've developed an eye twitch from hearing it nearly anytime I leave my house!

I am not a CM but I visit the world at least twice a year. I hate when parents let little Tommy and Susie run all over the place and then yell at me when I am unable to stop my 300 lb electic wheelchair in time to avoid hitting the child that darted in front of me.
When setting up to watch the parade I back up to let a little kid (not one of mine) sit in front of me to see the parade better and his/her whole family tries to stand in front of me and shove my nieces, nephews and sisters aside. Once they even knocked my godson into the cement curb.
