But I think consideration for other people is more widespread than you think. I agree and am grateful for that! But not in georgia_peaches’ example that is the topic of this thread.

Homosassa Posted July 17, 2023 #102 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) On our Millennium cruise last summer to Alaska, a thirty something man came into the Solarium, put his lap top on the table and started to play music. It was pop music classics. Someone must have complained and a ship's officer came in. However, at that point, "Sweet Caroline" had been playing for about a minute and what always happens when "Sweet Caroline" plays was in full swing - everyone in the Solarium was singing along. The officer walked in and was greeted by the passengers all singing (including the enthusiastic "dum dum dum" and "so good so good!) . He looked very confused, then started smiling, and waited for "Sweet Caroline" to finish before asking the man to stop playing the music.

He doesn't believe me. When I tell him its rude, his argument is that the TV volume is on, whats the difference? Ugh. Is this my daughter??

You´d think that some things don´t require signs but common sense 🙅♂️ Unfortunately there seems to be a lack of both... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s your emergency? 😂 --I'm going on a cruise and didn't receive my luggage tags. --We have $ 18 OBC left --- Any suggestions because we don't want to lose it --It's 2 am and waiting for room service---Should I tip the delivery person $ 3 or is it included in the AI package--- Hurry with your answer because he/she should be here in 42 minutes with our 4 burgers, diet cokes, chocolate chip cookies, etc . -- My Waiter forgot to bring my 3 shrimp cocktails at the same time and didn't apologize. Where do I go to remove the Gratuities ? -- An old fart sitting beside me is , etc, etc -- I split Kings playing Blackjack because I had a "feeling" and lost $10--- The man beside me had 4 black chips in that little box in front of him and when the Dealer took 'em away the guy starred at me for 21 seconds , mumbled something ( not very polite ) , got up and left. 3 minutes later he came back to the table and pointed at me to his friend who mumbled something pretty loud. What did I do ?? -- And finally--- Here it comes ------ After " payment in full " has been paid the Captain has been changed . Now, what should I do ?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgirl411 Posted July 18, 2023 #109 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I used to use the stink eye frequently but I find that most people are oblivious to it. It only seems to work really well on little kids…sometimes it actually scares them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I put it on full volume. That works every time. 🤣 I just gave it a listen, excellent retort. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some sort of backward thinking that this anti-social behavior is a way of being social?? "Hey, everybody is going to dig my music (or whatever) and think I'm really cool!"
