trock Posted February 15, 2010 #53 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Never seen this on any cruise (gangs of stair sitters).. people sitting on the stairs (waiting for the MDR) usually move when you say excuse me.. if by chance they dont just keep walking through.. I say if you start singing show tunes really loud and really badly and tell them you work for the post office, they will scatter.. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kay1864 Posted February 15, 2010 Author #54 Share Posted February 15, 2010 i said I never had a problem in all my cruises with this..you really seem to have issues. Twice now you made accusations. Again, just because you have not personally encountered the problem doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Several other posters feel that it does.

sassy0930 Posted February 15, 2010 #60 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I feel like you're getting all riled up for nothing. IF by chance you see people sitting on the stairs (I've never but I suppose "several" people in all of cruiserdom have, so that makes it a problem) and they don't move when you ask politely but firmly, then you continue up the stairs and try NOT to step on anyone. It's just stupid to be SOOOO worried about a set of freakin' stairs before you even cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trock Posted February 15, 2010 #61 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Bwah! Good ones! Either one should work, but in combo? Excellent! :rofl: See problem solved.. Dont even worry about this.. just go on your cruise and have a good time.. Most people have that same goal;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejo Posted February 15, 2010 #62 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Um, because I'm a passenger on the ship, and therefore I expect to climb a set of stairs to get from point A to point B if I want? Comprehend much? I clearly said I would say "Excuse me" twice. After that, I see no reason to wait if a group of people thinks it's okay to keep others from going up from a set of stairs. By the way - YOUR WELCOME for giving you a viable solution (saying excuse me really loud to embarrass them). Manners will be your friend both on the cruise and in real life. I do comprehend what you are saying, however, I don't understand why you think you have the right to harm a child for the sake of your own convenience :rolleyes: Karma is a b!$@# and it will come to bite those who deserve it. Let Karma get the stair sitters and there is no need to plot to harm them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty dingo Posted February 15, 2010 #63 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I've read about groups of people (often teenagers) sitting on the stairs, blocking anyone from going up or down. Any clever ideas to handle this? Certainly! Sit down in the middle of them and ask, loudly, "Do any of you have herpes? Because I REALLY need a friend to talk to right now!" Just see how quickly they scatter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to want to worry. Put the box on the floor upside down.. lid facing up.. put some cheese or peanut butter on the inside of the lid.. jimmy the box up with something with string tied to it.. when he goes in for the midnight buffet pull the string.. box is closed bring it out side and release him... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
