[i][c=#BF0080]At the waterpark there were men with a kid skipping the line saying they were riding w/someone. After the second time which they flew by so quick, I saw two women who I knew was with them try to do the same. I put my arm up and snapped. I told them there was no way they were going ahead of us. They tried giving me the same story the others volunteered the first time. I told them I didn’t care and that they were gonna have to wait just like everyone else. They backed down the stairs and ran their mouths in another language, prob embarrassed they were still standing ahead of the line behind me that they cut. I told them to speak in English if they were so tough. One had the nerve to wait a few minutes and yell they had a right to be there b/c they paid like everyone else. I told her it didn’t give her a right to cut lines just as it didn’t for anyone else. They stood there like kids pouting 😆 Two young girls behind me were thanking me and said they cut them off earlier doing the same 😒 [/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 In places like the water park you mentioned, there should be big signs saying "Cutting is PROHIBITED" and/or guards with automatic gates which stop people who attempt to cut in.
It's too bad we are reduced to things like that, but something's got to be done. You allow one, and 15 others try it, too. When I used to go to Riverview (gone but not forgotten) Park in Chicago, there were double lines for some rides, but nobody horned in before their turns. I applaud you for speaking up like you did.

@MaryJanine [i][c=#BF0080]Thank you. It is pretty sad some feel they're better and don’t respect others. It’s never been an issue anywhere in the past. Kids it’s kinda more expected, but still very wrong. Adults, and adults teaching children it’s okay- God help those kids, they’re being raised that young to not be fair respect others.. [/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 My mother raised four kids, and none of us were permitted to push and shove to be first on anything. We were raised to respect our turns on rides or places like your water park. Where did that generation go to?
