I was standing in line for the monorail last visit, had my wife and two friends along with us. In front of us was a family from out of town, I could tell by their team colors (I think it was green and gold i.e. Green Bay.) So anyway, we're looking down the track to see if we can spot the next monorail. The father of the group in front of us says rather cockily "the train comes from that direction!" Since it had been ages since riding the EPCOT monorail, I was looking the wrong direction. No matter, I said thanks and carried on with my friends. A moment later, the guy speaks up again, noticing my Buccaneers t-shirt and says "oh, you're from Tampa, that explains it," refering to my directional faux pas from a moment ago. I laughed it off and returned talking to my party, all the while thinking to myself, "what a jackass." I'm a nice guy, and although I'm plenty big enough to take care of myself, I don't normally cause trouble where it can be avoided. The train was approaching, and I walked up to the attendent and asked about the front cab, as I had always rode in the front when I was a kid, luckily it was unspoken for. The train pulled up, and sure enough, the jackass in front of us stops the line and asks to ride in the front. The attendent pointed to my party and said, "sorry, they asked first." With a smug grin, I walked past the now frustrated man and his family knowing that I got the last laugh indeed!
Lesson: Don't screw with Floridians!
