I had a stress fracture and rented a scooter once…I could be first in the elevator area…people would come along after me…and rush past me…filling up the elevator!! It was very depressing. I was glad I only needed the scooter temporarily. Helen, Unfortunately I need my scooter full time and I've seen my share of the bullies too. If there's time, I just tell them to go ahead and I'll take the stairs. Some understand the comment but many, surprisingly don't get it. The epitome of ignorance or indifference.

C4HCG Posted November 19, 2022 #106 Share Posted November 19, 2022 What annoys me is those that work hard on their walking / running stint and the next time I see them they are clearly trying to break some beer drinking record, doesn’t that defeat the object? The person in question (my husband) even suggests stopping off at the mast bar every other lap for refreshments his argument being they stop for drinks when running marathons 🙈 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Form a line (queue) for takeaway if the stanchions are up, they aren’t ready to start serving lunch so don’t climb under them don’t shout out answers in trivia or sing out answers in music trivia — it’s a game! don’t use your phones in trivia even if the host forgets to tell you not to no smoking inside includes e-cigarettes 🤣 Edited November 19, 2022 by Arzeena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can they not wait for the next one? Conversely, there is room for more but people stand at the front to block anyone getting on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better, you have elderly people in their 60s or 70s standing in a queue for Costco and then get to the register and fumble for 60sec trying to find their membership card so the cashier can begin ringing them up.

( I explained the whole " process " in another post a few days ago ). The worst part for me was when " You Know Who " found out about the $ 357, and the Exclusive to Celebrity crap she sold me ---and, bye the way--- even I don't think I look 30 yrs younger. The amount of overpriced upcharges and upselling on everything in the spa would not allow me to ever comfortably enjoy the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me-- She would not only have you comfortable in about 3 minutes and 60 seconds, she would also scare the xxxx out of you when she " asks ", oops, tells you about your back, legs, neck, etc. IF you are as " lucky " (?) as I was , she will sell (!!!) you a bag full of Exclusive to Celebrity products-------at a reduced price. Here's a hint----- Don't fall for the " You will look 30 yrs younger " line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike07 Posted November 20, 2022 #119 Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) My comment was not intended to cause offense or debate on what age "elderly" is. I was on the Apex up in the buffet area where they have the dessert island... it was a busy day, and there was maybe a 7 minute, ten person line to get stuff. You'd be amazed at how many people would be standing in line the whole time... aloof to what is going on and about to happen... and go up to the counter and then ponder and have internal debates in their head about what desserts they want....

My rule, and I would be in the minority, is to give them preference. Whether she was a jerk or not, purposely blocking a disabled person isn't something I would proudly share.

cdn_tbird Posted November 20, 2022 #124 Share Posted November 20, 2022 This is more of a PSA. Seen on our recent Apex sailing, you may want to avoid cabins displaying an inverted pineapple...

I did not say that we blocked her! we moved after the door was fully opened and she said " excuse me , my floor" Respect goes both ways 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
