My pet peeves:
Chewing gum. I have never had any, but I have stepped in enough of it. Luckily none in Disney yet, but I've seen it on the ground there.
Smoking: If you want to do it, hurt yourself, not me by blowing it into my face.
Now for the one that only happens in Disney: I know it is a place meant for kids, but everyone has to wait in line for the character at the park or wait patiently at their table in a restaurant. I just hate it when there is this little kid who jumps in front of you/pushed in front of you by their parents to get to the character. It just really annoys me.
Secondly, the kid who doesn't sit during the parade. We always stake out around 30-45 minutes early for a parade so we can sit on the curb. I hate it when there is a kid who ends up being in the family next to you and stands in the street with the parade going by. I have too many pictures ruined by this.
Finally, the kid on the leash. Last time I checked, a kid is not a dog. Therefore, there is no need for a leash. HOLD YOUR KID'S HAND!!!! I have actually gotten so annoyed by this that I once asked the parent if it bites!

I am thankful that I always toss my gum in the trash (if I don't accidentally swallow it first). As for smoking, I agree so much. I'm very sensitive to that and every time I walk by a smoking area, I have to cover my mouth with a sleeve or underneath my shirt collar to protect my lungs. I never liked it that Disney allowed smoking to be in the park. It's supposed to be the "Happiest" place on Earth, not the "Secondhand Smoke" place on Earth.Len90 wrote:My pet peeves:

I agree on the smoking bit, but my real problem is with Disney and where they put some of the smoking areas. I'm also one of those people who has terrible sinuses and allergy issues, and if I get even a little whiff of smoke, I start gagging and can't stop. Some of the DSA locations make no sense to me, like the one right by Aloha Isle in Adventureland (aka the home of Dole Whips). Just walking by, let alone standing in line, you get slammed with the smoke. I don't think people should have to walk a mile to smoke, but that and a few other places are really awful locations to have a DSA.elizabethswann wrote:I am thankful that I always toss my gum in the trash (if I don't accidentally swallow it first).

Oh, I can relate. I remember my first day of college classes, I was shocked when I couldn't enter or exit a building without being surrounded by smoke and gagging. I guess I had never really thought about the fact that people would smoke on campus (naive meelizabethswann wrote:It's bad enough I have to go through smokers through my college campus because most of the areas are right by the entrances to the different buildings. I can smell cigarette smoke from more than ten feet away and I hold my breath before, while and a bit after I walk past the smoking area.
Hahahahahhahaha every time I see those I want to say something because those are the dumbest devices I have ever seen!!! Does it bite! LOL! Fantastic! Another Pet Peeve of mine, because I was once a cast member, is if an attraction breaks down, please do not stand in front of the line queue and try to get an answer as to what is wrong. Either the cast member does not know, or they are not allowed to say.Finally, the kid on the leash. Last time I checked, a kid is not a dog. Therefore, there is no need for a leash. HOLD YOUR KID'S HAND!!!! I have actually gotten so annoyed by this that I once asked the parent if it bites!
Another Pet Peeve is please please please stop complaining about the ticket price when you’re in the park. We all have paid a lot to get into the park, and yes Disney is expensive, but I don't need to hear you vent about it during the entire queue line for Jungle Cruise!

Now, I will admit that they are asinine, parents today do not discipline their children like they should. I don't know how many times I have been in public places and have seen children running amok and the parents don't say anything to stop them. If the parents aren't going to take the responsibility to keep their children in check, then I would prefer they tether them to something so they A) don't injure themselves and B) don't harass me. Oh, and god forbid someone else say something to the child, the parents fly off the handle at the responsible person. I really think people should have to pass a test before being able to have kids, you have to pass a test to drive, you should have to pass a test to procreate.Josh Q wrote:Hahahahahhahaha every time I see those I want to say something because those are the dumbest devices I have ever seen!!!

LOL! The leashes are only as helpful as the length of them, I think. If they're the ones that extend or are long, then, well, you can't do much to "rope them in" anyway, so I fail to see the point.agingerbugg wrote:Josh Q wrote:Now, I will admit that they are asinine, parents today do not discipline their children like they should.

As for passing a test to have children... in the cases of a few people I know, I would be inclined to agree.

I hate to say it, but I enjoyed the autograph act until 16. Then I realized how annoying it is to be behind the family with too many kids, each having their own autograph book. It was very unpleasant in early July and we were basically soaking by the time we got to meet the character. I guess that is something that we enjoy when young, but get annoyed with when older.Soarin08 wrote:That AUTOGRAPH crap!! That annoys me more than anything else at WDW. My brother (and me too, I admit it) loves meeting the characters but waiting to do so in June with fifty kids wanting autographs.... makes me want to scream!!

I know exactly what you mean. But when I was younger we never did autographs so I never knew any better....Len90 wrote:I hate to say it, but I enjoyed the autograph act until 16.
