Disney Parks Pet Peeves
In the immortal words of Frank Costanza, I’ve got a lot of problems with you people, and now you’re going to hear about it! This blog is normally sunshine and rainbows, but it’s time for you to hear what I really think. It’s time for my annual “Airing of Disney Parks Guest Grievances” in honor of Festivus. (Updated December 23, 2023.)
This is a companion piece, of sorts, to our new Top 10 Guest Complaints About Walt Disney World. Those are all of the grievances that you have about the parks. Here, it’s time for all of the issues the parks have with you. Well, not “you” as an individual, and theme parks are inanimate objects so they don’t really have grievances to air. I think you get the idea, though. That list was grievances of guests; this one is grievances about guests. Â
In our Essence of the Disney Magic post that discusses what makes the parks so special, we share a Walt Disney quote about it taking “people to make the dream a reality.” Clearly, he was referring to the exceptional Cast Members, as all other guests do at Walt Disney World is clog up walkways, obstruct views, make noise during attractions, and lead to longer wait times. 😉
Fair warning: this post is in no way helpful to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, or other park trip planning. Actually, it’s not really helpful to anyone, anywhere at all. Think of it as a junk food blog post that you shouldn’t waste your time reading. That is, unless you don’t really care about wasting your time on the internet, in which case, read away!
I want to underscore that this is meant in good fun and with a lighthearted sense to it. No one is perfect. While these things do bug me, I’m sure I do plenty of things that bug others, and I certainly don’t have any malice towards anyone who does these things. We’ve both been guilty of some of the “offenses” here!
Most of the time, I don’t think people are doing any of these things intentionally, or at least with the express purpose of inconveniencing others. While this could be a helpful heads up to let you know what behavior might be unintentionally obnoxious, it’s mostly just some lighthearted venting.
With those caveats out of the way, I’ll let my inner Frank Costanza (I’d like to think he’d be proud of this list…but at the same time would be its biggest offender) take over and share a few of my Disney theme park pet peeves…
Screens Up! – I don’t know who needs to hear this, but YouTube exists. Joking aside, it’s such an odd phenomenon to see the fireworks start and hundreds of screens go up over heads. Wanting to capture a small snippet to share on social media is one thing, but some people are out there recording the full show with shaky hands from an off-center angle behind a shoulder kid (see below) on a phone with a busted screen. There’s a 100% chance that video will be worse than 100,000+ videos already on YouTube, freely accessible to all.
Don’t get me wrong: having your own photos and videos–even subpar ones–is important. Documenting experiences and having tangible reminders of lasting memories is far better than any souvenir you can buy. What’s key is making them your own. Don’t take photos or video of JUST the fireworks or JUST the stage show or JUST the food.
After recording a few seconds of pyro, pan back to capture the wide-eyed wonder of your child as the glow of the fireworks washes over their face. Take a snapshot of your significant other about to devour a dessert the size of their head. Obtain photographic evidence of grandpa falling asleep during MuppetVision as a future reminder of their distinctly unpatriotic gaffe.
Flaunting Disney Knowledge – Let’s level with one another: I write a Disney blog and you read at least one. We both clearly have too much free time on our hands and probably know much more about Disney than John Q Public.
This is neither a Scarlet Letter, nor is it a badge of honor. Some Disney fans don’t seem to understand this. They share their Mad Park Smartz with their friends in the parks. There’s nothing wrong with this by itself, but when it’s done in painfully loud voices that are clearly for the benefit of those around them in a queue, that’s where I draw the line. You know what I’m talking about.
I’ll be honest with you: it’s possible I’ve become part of the problem. As a frequent photographer of construction walls on both coasts, I very frequently overhear other guests wonder whether Splash Mountain is being converted into a restaurant. If they seem the friendly type, I’ll respond: “I don’t know if you were kidding or not, but it’s actually going to be a similar ride based on The Princess and the Frog. Kinda funny and confusing that they have signs that say ‘Tiana’s Foods’ and nothing about a ride, but that’s what it’ll be.”
That is the script I have “perfected” in my head that is, in my opinion, a good mixture of disarming and not too know-it-all-y. At least, that’s my hope. I’ll let you be the judge as to whether I’m being helpful or have become part of the problem!
Rudeness to Cast Members – Don’t like the quality of the beef patty in your burger at Cosmic Ray’s? Having yet another issue trying to book Genie+ Lightning Lane reservations? Think lines for everything are too long? Yelling at the nearest Cast Member seems like a totally reasonable solution that will absolutely fix the problem.
Oh wait, no it doesn’t. At all. Frontline Cast Members are about as much to blame for those problems and decisions as the McDonald’s burger flipper is for Hamburglar’s many crimes. The Cast Members you see in parks don’t create the unpopular policies, even if they are tasked with enforcing them. Yelling at any of these people is wholly unreasonable. What exactly are guests expecting to accomplish?
Spending a lot of money on a Walt Disney World vacation does not entitle guests to be jerks to anyone who gets in their way or prevents them from having a “perfect” trip. Cast Members go out of their way to put a smile on kids’ faces and make magic for guests, and should be treated accordingly.
This is especially true now. Cast Members are under increased stress, having had to play babysitter and rule enforcers to adults for the last year, while also seeing thousands of their colleagues lost during mass layoffs. On top of that, they also bear the brunt of ever-increasing guest complaints about reduced entertainment, Genie+, and other policy changes and cuts made by people at a way higher pay grade. None of this is their fault–being rude to Cast Members only exacerbates problems and degrades the guest experience for those who visit later, as Cast Member burn-out worsens.
A good rule in life is to follow Wheaton’s Law. If that’s too tough to follow, a lower standard is: “don’t be rude to people regarding situations that are out of their control, especially when they are doing their best to be nice and help you.”
Walking Etiquette – I walk at an extremely brisk pace. I have no time for shenanigans such as meandering aimlessly. However, I understand not everyone desires or can maintain my pace, and I certainly don’t expect it.
What I also don’t expect is a convoy of 4 double-wide strollers walking side by side taking up the entire walkway so no one can pass. Instead, observe the rules of the road. Allow sufficient room for oncoming traffic. Leave open space next to you for a “passing lane.”
On a highway, you wouldn’t aimlessly zigzag from lane to lane without regard for traffic behind you, so don’t do the same in walkways. Likewise, just as you wouldn’t come to a dead stop in the middle of your lane when driving 70 MPH, don’t stop in your tracks to look at a map in the middle of a walkway. Navigate the parks like it’s not your first time walking in public.
Filling In All Available Space – I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you’re at the end of the extended queue in Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance and the wait time is 180 minutes, standing as close as possible to the person in front of you won’t make the line move any faster. Spacing way back in line has no bearing on efficiency at load, which is the only thing that really matters. You can leave a little breathing room for comfort farther back in the line.
To be sure, there are times when filling in all available space is necessary. If a Cast Member makes the request, do it–there’s likely an operational reason for it (like getting enough people into the Haunted Mansion Stretching Room to ensure a steady flow in the queue afterwards). Moreover, no one should expect 6′ in all directions at this point. But most of the time, there’s no reason to invade the personal space of the strangers around you. There’s a happy medium.
Disproportionate Line Jumping – I’m a reasonable guy. If you’re a large family with a herd of small children, I get that a trip to the parks is a veritable Detrol commercial. Bathroom breaks are a frequent, time-consuming part of the theme park experience. One parent taking a child to the bathroom while the other jumps in line with the rest of the pack is absolutely reasonable.
What I don’t appreciate is when one member of a multi-generational party of 27 jumps in line, and then slowly the other 26 members trickle ahead of me. That’s not meeting the “rest” of your party, it’s thinly-veiled line-jumping. I never say anything to these people, but you better believe the back of their heads receive a contemptuous glare.
A fair rule: unless 51% of your party is farther forward, the rest of the party moves back. Fair enough?
Talking on Attractions – Again, I’m reasonable. I understand that parks are a social environment. They aren’t a library or a movie theater. Some small, quiet comments here and there are totally fine.
Now it’s everyone else’s turn to be reasonable and understand that the rest of us waited 45 minutes in line so we could enjoy an immersive attraction, not so we could hear you talk about that epic party from last night in excruciating detail as if it has all the drama of the Iran-Contra Affair.
Quoting Attractions – Continuing on the ‘talking’ subject, here’s my biggest pet peeve: quoting lines from attractions in the attraction right before the line is said in the attraction. This is a variation of Flaunting Disney Knowledge, but it’s so annoying that it deserves its own spot.
I don’t mind people quoting attractions in general. I’d like to think the wisdom gleaned from Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree can be applied to all facets of life. What I mind is people beating the attraction to the punch, showing off their own knowledge as if this gives them some sort of ill-gotten street cred. It doesn’t.
Just try and go on the Jungle Cruise without someone saying the words ‘backside of water’ before the skipper, or to the Haunted Mansion without someone saying ‘there’s always my way’ before the Ghost Host. A few words is mildly annoying but relatively harmless–let’s just avoid trying to quote entire paragraphs of the attraction script.
Stroller Etiquette – This has become less of an issue in the last couple of years due to a rule change last year. There was a brief period when Walt Disney World turned into the wild west for strollers, with huge wagons, royal carriages, and Star Wars spaceships. No joke–there were businesses renting out “themed” strollers!
If you operate a stroller, please be mindful of the heels in front of you. Let’s again use the roadway analogy: strollers are like cars–yield to pedestrians. Don’t use your stroller as a battering ram to help you plow through crowds when Walt Disney World walkways are a bit congested with traffic!
Shoulder-Children – Are you 6′ tall and want to put your kids on your shoulders for the fireworks? No problem! It’s not as if there are hundreds of people behind you who also want to see the show or anything. I really am curious as to what line of thought can justify this?
Kids have a tough time seeing a show from the ground and parents have a difficult time holding them at normal eye level. This leaves parents with a conundrum: put them on shoulders or don’t. If you put them on your shoulders, they can see but you’re blocking the view of countless people behind you. This effectively says, “my children seeing the show is more important than anyone behind me seeing it.”
Fair rule: if you want to put your kids on your shoulders, do it from a location where there are not people behind you. Alternatively, choose a viewing location where there are not obstructions in front of you. Both exist, particularly when it comes to Happily Ever After in Magic Kingdom or Luminous: The Symphony of Us in Epcot.
Shoulder kids could really fall under a general penumbra of “Selfish Guests” that would encompass everything from sitting in the middle seats of what clearly will be a packed theater (despite directions from Cast Members to move all the way down), throwing trash on the ground or not cleaning up the trash at your table for counter service meals, smoking wherever you feel like, waving around your selfie stick without regard for others, and a myriad of other things. Again, that $100+ per day ticket is not a license to do whatever the heck you want because, “YOU PAID A TON OF MONEY FOR THIS VACATION.”
Have you steered clear of my airing of Disney theme park grievances thus far? Well, I have a lot more that you are doing! You couldn’t smooth a silk sheet if you had a hot date with a babe…ah, I lost my train of thought. 😉 (I’m sorry, a lot of the references in this blog probably don’t make sense if you’re not a Seinfeld fan. Then again, I’m not so sure I want people reading this blog who aren’t Seinfeld fans.)

Your Thoughts
What are your Disney theme park pet peeves? Are you so high on the magic of pixie dust when you visit the parks that nothing annoys you? What do I do that annoys you (this is the airing of theme park grievances, after all)? Feel free to vent in the comments. You won’t change anything about how other guests behave at Walt Disney World, but at least it’s therapeutic!
i love Disneyland but I truly hate that there are so many strollers there and not just regular strollers, but double wide, huge ones. Disneyland needs to address this problem. Recently went to Disneyland and could barely maneuver around these darn strollers and the people with the strollers have the nerve to get annoyed by the rest of us without strollers. I have 4 children and have only taken them to disneyland once they were at least 7 or 8 years old. It pains me to see people taking little babies there who have no business being there.
Hi Tom, great article! I’m a big fan and you definitely hit the nail on the head with this article. We are disney vets, have been coming here all our lives, and really feel like your “selfish guest” comment was on point. We recently came to Disney for our honeymoon and only had one day in AK. While riding Dinosaur, some obnoxious teens were yelling and screaming so loudly that they ruined the ride for not only us but another first time family in our car. It took all my strength not to reprimand them. They ruined the whole experience on a ride that is pretty hard not to be immersed in. While this is not my first time on the ride nor will it be my last, I felt so bad for the family in front of us who’s first time experience and maybe only experience was ruined. I wanted to complain but what can Disney really do about these types of guests…
The bus lines at the resort were our biggest pet peeve. You generally gather in a cluster, but people just walking up would board the bus while families that had been waiting for 20-30 minutes wouldn’t be able to board because it would fill up.
No one wants to be the line police on their vacation, but common courtesy says to be mindful of who has been waiting before boarding. The shove mentality is never a good look and we experienced that a few times.
I love you
My biggest pet peeve is clearly not a Disney problem but a social problem. In any grocery store I always pull my cart to the side when I need to stop and look for something. But clearly I am in the minority and it drives me crazy!! Disney is no different! Whenever my group of four needed to stop and plan or check the map, I always step to the side out of traffic. It seems so simple but apparently it doesn’t occur to 90% of the public.
As someone who travels with a scooter bound person, I totally understand the problems with people jumping to the front of the line and agree with you. We actually rent at the parks so we don’t use the scooter on the bus, but it is annoying when my travel companion with a bad heart is forced to stand while watching other people who rented ahead of time take up three seats due to the way the buses are created. If Disney is listening, how about buses designed just to pick up the scooter families and leaving those of us who are walking to squish like sardines on another bus?
Since I’m jumping on your rant, lap children! If your child is small enough to fit on your lap, please don’t let them take up a seat (or two when they lay them out because the two year old is tired at midnight and needs to sleep) If you have a little forcefulness and make your child sit on your lap, they, you and a possible total stranger with an unseen health condition you may not know about (I’m talking bad heart not something contagious) plus an additional stander could all make it on that bus and get home to fight over the soda machines at your hotel just that much quicker.
Walkers, Please look for scooters before you walk! They can’t stop on a dime. Scooters, Hello, I’m walking here! Can you please look ahead and not behind at the child who is not keeping up with you at all? As pointed out in the article…think like you’re driving for real on a real road. Or crossing a real street. A Disney trip truly has become about ME, ME and did I mention…ME! Everyone in that park paid a lot of money to be there, everyone wants to have a great trip, and if people just tried to be a little more aware of their surroundings, it could happen.
Okay, I think Mary Poppins may have written that last part, but I hope it hit home for someone.
AHHHHHHhhhhhHhh!!!!!!!! Nail…..Head…….You hit it, every time!
I try to remain patient, I really do, but by the end of the day, after dealing with the self absorbed for 8-10 hours, with my party of 6 walking two abreast and 3 deep, when encountering a party of 4-6 teens-adults walking 4-6 abreast….yeah, sorry for the person on the outside of your “priority line”. They are going to get the stiff shoulder from me as I’m not about to even attempt to move out of the way.
Same goes for the lost person with their face buried in the map that suddenly stops in the middle of the path at the worst choke point. You’re getting run over.
This article and the comments are making me very nervous. I am going to Disney next week with my family and I am not a patient person. I went to a concert not so long ago and went off on someone blocking my view with his cell phone. I cannot stand people that cut in lines. I am afraid i do something crazy! Serenity Now!!!
So true!!! We are a family of 4 Scots who have just returned from our first wdw visit, (ably assisted by your fab blog!) Your comments are so correct! Add to that drunken and rowdy = offensive and rude people returning to our resort from disney springs on the disney bus, ( not even that late!!!) I told them off as we have kids, to no avail. Also, people leaving shows early and ruining it for those at the back as all you see is a stream of people who obviously have been before and don’t care to wait in the crowds to get out of the park ( never ever again will I go to fantasmic on standby!!) , people who queue at the restaurant for 30 mins and still ask loudly what there is though they were given a menu!! and i was also disappointed at the amount of people who chose not to walk due to impairment through lifestyle choice and used a scooter, as it is unfair and inconvenient having to wait for them instead of people with a genuine disability. That said, we had a wonderful time!!!
I have to say I agree with you 100% about the number of people who CHOOSE not to walk. I’m a 400lb man, with a bum knee, hip, and back due to a work injury and auto accident, neither of which were my fault other than “wrong place, wrong time”. I still manage to walk the entire time we’re there. Though I will say, that I do know some people who “look” just fine and can stand and walk a few feet to get on and off of rides, that probably draw some of this ire, that aren’t able to walk more than 10-15 minutes due to some non-self inflicted ailment. Though these persons are few and far between, they take just as much flak as those who are too lazy to try.
During our last trip to Disney we were pretty shocked by the attire of some guests. On several occasions we saw women walking around in sports bras, or the equivalent of a bikini top with their shorts. We saw shorts so short that you literally could see the bottom 1/3 of the persons butt cheek, and tops that had no middle in the front worn with no bra at all. When you go to Disney you expect a wholesome atmosphere to enjoy with your family, not people dressed like they’re ready to pick up at a club. We were shocked and a little disappointed that they were allowed in the parks at all dressed in such a manner.
Oh man. This past Monday we saw a woman in a crocheted dress, completely see through, over a bikini. Would have been fine at a water park but we were at Epcot. She certainly had the body to pull it off, but really?
Best. Article. Ever. My faves –
#1: We are a short family. On our last THREE trips tall people stood in front of us at almost the last minute, then put their kids on their shoulders. Fireworks and stage shows (every Sanderson Sister show at our Halloween party last year!). Never used to happen. People are going all out to make sure THEIR trip is the best ever, not yours. A Disney Castmember had to actually get on a loud speaker before the show to let people know that there are people behind them, and it was also not ok to pick fights with people in front of you. At parades people try edging us out when we got our seats early (Magic Kingdom), at one point a woman even told me to move so they could see better because they had traveled so far. So had we – from Wa. state. They got there TEN minutes before the parade and had been moving in on people to get up front, we had been there over an hour.
#2: Walking etiquette! I am also a brisk walker, I weave a lot. I have to. Some walkways are shear pandemonium – people milling about all over the place (esp. Animal Kingdom, it’s beautiful to look at, I get it). My speed sometimes leaves people I pass spinning as I weave. A passing lane would be helpful, but in absence of one, it would be nice for people to stop to the side.
For a lot of this stuff, I think people are just oblivious to those around them because of sheer excitement of being at Disney, or because they are so tired. I have patience with them. It’s the people who KNOW what their doing is crappy and do it anyway. Stop scooting closer and closer to me at the Beauty and the Beast stage show to make more room for your family because your 4 year old wants to play on the bench. My butt needs room, too. Also, on early mornings it’s awesome when a family sends one member to stand in the bus line, then the other 8 show up 20 min. later and cut in front of me so that I don’t make it on that bus. Hold a line for 2, sure. The rest can go to the back of the line.
Thanks for a great article, and pointing out some things people may not want to talk about. Disney trip etiquette should be an essential part of any planning book or site, to remind people everyone wants to have a fun, safe trip. Well done!
My pet peeve is the people who are in the motorized scooters that cut through the entire bus line with their large groups. I think they should have to wait in line like the rest of us. We have waited 20+ min for a bus and then missed it because someone in a scooter came up at the last minute and were able to get right on before everyone else waiting.
Amen! We waited in the rain at the close of Hollywood Studios for a bus only to have a man in a scooter and his 5 family members come up at the last moment and get to jump to the front of the line. The worst part was as soon as he was on the bus he got off the scooter and took a seat. Now he cut the line and effectively took 2 seats! He was on a scooter. Waiting in line wouldn’t have been a hardship.
I totally agree Wendy !! By the time a person in a scooter and ALL of their family get on the bus, there are no seats left for the rest of us that have stood in the bus line and waited. I have aired this complaint before, but no one has addressed it. I say board the person in the scooter with one family member along with them. Everyone else should get in line like the rest of us ! We are all going to the same place … It’s not appropriate for all of the people waiting to have to wait even longer for another bus because so many people are allowed to board the bus with the scooter… (and what makes it even worse is when U see some of the scooter riding people the same night at the resort swimming pool without the scooter, running, jumping ans swimming like fish) not all do this, but we have seen it first hand with a few of them….. something is wrong with this picture !!
This is so true, this however is a grey area in disney relations that people will take advantage of. There is no way to ask (legally) or tell how or why someone needs a scooter. To actually make them wait in line like the rest of the hundreds of people makes complete and total sense. Having pride and dignity is something I believe I possess and try to enstill that in my children, the people that abuse (abuse is the key word, some and most people need it) situations like this clearly don’t care about other people or themselves.
The worst is the rude behavior on the Disney buses between parks and resorts. I see young people sitting, leaving mothers struggling with babies, pregnant, and elderly to stand. Then there’s the pushing and shoving. One teen boy was wearing a backpack, and leaning backwards while holding onto the pole, smashing right into me and another lady next to me. Directly behind us was a lady in a wheelchair, so we had nowhere to go. We finally pushed back and when he got irritated at us, my rather large husband loomed over him and said, “You’re smashing into these ladies. Watch yourself.”
And while navigating around strollers can be tricky at times, the worst are the people on the ECVs. Many of them just barrel right through crowds not caring a bit to bump into people. One nearly plowed down my little granddaughter while we were waiting for the parade to start.
But the worst … we waited for 20 minutes in the hot sun to staking out an up front spot to see Star Wars: AGFFA. A few minutes in, some guy pushed his way to the front and stepped right in front of me. All I could see was his shoulders. I tried inching back around him, but he literally pushed back so I couldn’t get back around him. I though my husband was going to knock his lights out!
But fortunately, 99% of the people I’ve encountered were nice, helpful, gracious, and just happy to be at the Happiest Place on Earthâ„¢
You forgot flash photos on dark rides!! MY BIGGEST, BIGGEST PEEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing like flash photos to totally ruin the theme magic of Peter Pan.
I had a lady with her dslr and external flash try to shoot fireworks–by standing behind me and shooting over my shoulder. With the flash on! I nicely told her that she was blinding us and she said that’s how she gets good pictures. My camera was on a tripod shooting long exposures and I actually yelled at her to go away and quit ruining my pictures with her ridiculous flash. She started to yell back but some big men had taken it upon themselves to shield and protect my tripod from being bumped and they jumped in and ran her off. People are ridiculous!
Quoting Seinfeld in a Disney blog is certainly a way to ensure my readership! If there was ever a doubt this was my favorite blog, you have now clinched it 🙂 Although I don’t advise Feats of Strength in the middle of Fantasyland… However, the aluminum pole to add a festive touch to your resort room is a great thought!
My “favorite” commenting in line came on Small World. My husband despises the ride, but I got him on. The grandfather behind us was all but shouting to his grandson throughout the ride. My favorite was along the lines of, “Benny, Benny, do you see the koala bear?!” Mind you, he was pointing at a panda bear. This continued for a variety of other sights throughout the ride. Way to make my husband have an even greater hatred of one of my favorites, Grandpa!
Serenity now jerry. Seriously great article. This should be required reading for anyone going to the parks, or Walmart
I will admit that I am one of those at the Haunted Mansion that quote the story in the stretching room. I also make a bone-chilling scream when the lights go out making small children cry. I make no apologies. Anyway your list is great and I would add that people cut across pathways for those who are in wheelchairs and scooters with no concern that they’re blocking the egress of someone who’s shorter and not as easily able to stop as those on foot.
You should apologize. It’s annoying as hell.
no need for your added effects. Disney paid good money to create the attraction, if they needed your input they would have hired you.
OH I love this post!! We just went to Disney in September (was there I think when you were…wish I could have run into you!). The stroller peeve is alive and well. Those strollers look as if they could carry 5 kids and 3 weeks worth of clothes. Putting those monstrosities on the bus was crazy and having to sit/stand near one was awful because they bump into you the whole ride…maybe something a tad bit smaller would work.
My peeve was cell phones….I literally had at least a dozen people walk right into me because they had their head all up in their phone screen (and I refused to move out of the way). Pay attention to where you are walking…please.
The talking on a ride was perfect. We rode Kilimanjaro Safari and listened to the girl behind us talk about the chains on the ground that scared her and all about the animals…I finally turned around and told her to be quiet so I could hear the driver….she wasn’t happy with me….oh well.
Thank you for letting us air our grievances….Happy Festivus a bit early.
I read your blog often and I applaud your efforts. My husband and I visited in Early October and rudeness was running rapped. People cutting in line, pushing and shoving, and then having the nerve to argue with cast members who do their job everyday. They have the patience of Job. Just because you and your family are on vacation doesn’t mean you can leave your manners at home. Let’s keep Disney a happy place for everyone and if you are visiting from another country, research social protocol please. Thank you Tom for your interesting blog and the great information you share with us.

I would add young, healthy, able bodied people not giving up seats to elderly or those holding small sleeping children on the buses. Just stand. It won’t kill you. Let those that need it more sit for the duration of the ride. I hate watching parents holding a sleeping little, balancing a stroller, while another little clings to their waist struggle to stand. Meanwhile, teens and young adults sit and act like nothing is wrong with the whole scene. SMH….
You stand. Or wait for another bus. I’m tired too.
