Disney World is one of the last places you would expect someone to complain about something or anything, not to mention someone or anyone. Yet, this weekend, while I was there with my family, I dealt with one of those "I'm on an important call on my cell phone and don't care if I'm holding up the line" type of people. We stayed at the All Star Music hotel, which is very family oriented, and very affordable. However, you still will find someone like this staying there.
It was Sunday morning, a little after 9am, and crowds of people were in the dining area. After my wife and I got our food and sat down with our children, I decided to go get our coffee at the self serve area. So, I took my two cups up there and came to the creamer machine. Just as I finished putting cream in our cups, this woman comes up on a cellular phone, telling whomever it was what they were doing, what rides they were going on, what the cost of the hotel was, and so on, right in front of the coffee dispenser! What made this worse was she wasn't even up there to get coffee, she was there to get a soda (yes, they serve those at breakfast). This was a good place for her to park herself with her tray of food and napkins while she had a personal conversation on her cell phone. After about thirty seconds of this, I had to say "excuse me!" to her, but it was to no avail. She continued talking away (while not doing anything else) to where I nearly had to push her out of the way. Of course, I did not attack her, just nudged her to get her attention. She moved, but kept talking away as if it was nothing to her.
They should put signs over every self service counter, every buffet in every restaurant that say something like, "Please leave your cellular phones at your table and have consideration for other people at these counters." Maybe people like this would be on their guard.

And restaraunts. I'd almost go as far as cars, too, but that's only because I've been in a few too many situations on my motorcycle that could have been avoided if the person were paying attention to their driving instead of dialing/crying baby/newspaper/radio/lunch/cigarette/makeup/etc. I've actually seen people on the road smoking, on the phone (without a hands free) and driving a stick. Notice, 'people,' not one person. I don't know why these individuals think that driving is so low on their priority list. They're only hurtling down a road (not made of foam) at 45mph+, barely looking at said road, barely paying attention, and they act surprised when it's time for them to change lanes and *poof* there's me sitting directly left/right. I make it a point to never be in a blind spot if I can help it, and these idiots always manage to make me want to lose weight.
