This is why I generally avoid humans.
People seem to have shorter fuses than ever these days. Knotts Berry Farm just had a series of brawls, and implemented a new policy that anyone 17 or under needs to be escorted by an adult at all times in the park. (The wrong response, in my opinion. Plenty of these recent fights were among adults and I hate to see teens singled out.)
Also:
And I won’t link to that family fight in Toontown that happened in 2019, but it was bad.
Yeah… Good thing it’s almost impossible to buy guns. Right?
The thing about starting a fight at Disney World is that you never know how large the other person’s family representation will be. If my extended family showed up, we would be a lot - one Thanksgiving family reunion we had 14 turkeys.
The I’m Mad Ya’ll Kingdom…
People get weird when it comes to lines. I get it when you’re talking about pure cutting, but I’ve always been taught (and followed myself) an attitude of generosity unless it’s unambiguously clear that someone is cutting. (Re)joining others in your party is definitely okay, and if there’s any confusion as to who was “in line” I always defer to the other party. Of course, the other party often does the same, leading to a standoff over who will be more polite. That’s never come to blows, though.
Perhaps one day Disney will find a way to turn the story of this brutal feud between rival families into a lighthearted short film like they did with the Hatfields and McCoys.
(And by “lighthearted” I mean the punchline is that the deadly rivalry between the families seemingly ended by love carries on in the form of domestic violence, because this was the 1940s)
It is a miracle that our traffic system works at all.
So that’s why Make Mine Music has remained so inaccessible.
