A guy got pissed I wouldn’t let his INFANT son down the raft ride in the water park. Fought with me, tried to explain how dangerous it was, there was a height limit for a reason, yadda, yadda. The guy just wasn’t having it. Said “he’d show me” and went to the parking lot. I told security about it and said he’s up to something. The dude comes back into the park. Security guys have him go through the metal detector and it turns out he had a gun. Cops came and arrested him. What a fuckwad.

I had to turn away many children who were just too short for a ride which was the main attraction of the park. So many freak outs, but safety is paramount as this thing launches you like 300 feet into the air. The worst wasn’t even a freak out really. This guy was angry that his child was too small to ride and after I told him that his child could be seriously injured if allowed on he casually told me that it was “no big deal, I can always make a new one if necessary.”

I worked for Disney World. Tantrums about wait lines being too long & being told I they were going to “tell my manager to get me fired” literally happens every day to every single Cast Member.

Worked at a trampoline park for two years. Had a 13 year old kid shit his pants on the trampoline (yes 13). Mom calls. Yells at me for letting this happen, saying I should’ve shown him to the restroom or some shit. I think she was just livid that her 13 year old shit his pants, and refuses to accept any sort of responsibility for the situation. Still had to clean up shit too.
