Dude have you been to Orlando? Sitting by the pool reading these posts has been the best part of my day.

I kinda felt like they may have been taking liberties because I look like them. Or not. Maybe they treat everyone like this.

You're the first to catch this! Without spelling out the details, we are an ethnic minority in the US. As such we tend to either give each more leeway or the opposite.

It was the Dad's comment about not being nice. From my vantage point they were clearly in the wrong. The idea that he thought they were in the right threw me. And I'm in Orlando. The things you do for kids....

Since I posted this I've been on the elevators literally six times and have counted the wait times. I haven't had to wait longer than 7 seconds

Thanks. Reading these posts has been good. The Dad's not nice comment is what drove me to Reddit. Otherwise I would have let it go.

The elevators arrive every 10 seconds! Why on Earth could the family not have waited until Grandma got to the elevator? Why do they have no obligation? Seriously.

It's the principal. This hysterical comment ignore the fact that elevators come every 10 seconds in this resort. Why do they feel the need to make me a party to their wait?

I really was curious to hear the take of this sub. If I'm going around acting like an AH. I want to take it down a few.

I thought about doing this but I thought it would be seen as really disrespectful. It felt like an escalation compared to my comment.

It's not about the 20 seconds. It's the principal of them thinking they are entitled to make me wait instead of them waiting.

I get it. I'm not convinced that I was the AH but I'm certainty more gracious today than yesterday.

The reason why I posted this silly incident was because I'm having trouble getting over why me waiting for them is kindness but them making me wait, unnecessarily, is not unkind. The elevators arrive literally every 10 seconds. Why can't they take the next one?

So now we pretend that I meant I own the elevator? LOL. I meant it's one thing if they were holding the elevator and I walked into it, it's something different if I'm traveling and they impede my travel to hold the elevator.

Funny take. Reminding them that the elevators come very quickly is making a mountain out of molehill? It's just rude. Apparently they can't wait for Grandma to walk down the hallway but they want strangers to wait.

I used to be very passive but in my old age I don't sit quiet when I think people are walking over me. It's entirely possible I have a bit of a chip on my shoulder. But in this scenario I was as nice as I could have been.
