According to a post on Reddit, an altercation between two parties recently occurred at the entrance of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT.
FYI: The information was posted in a thread on the Am I the Asshole community page of the social media platform.
Approximately 11 hours ago, u/AriannaMarie092423 started the thread ‘AITAH for calling a woman a bitch at Disney World’ with the following:
“I (31F) was with my family at EPCOT for the day, we had rented an [wheelchair] as I had hurt my knee. My husband (30M) was pushing me. We were getting ready to enter the Guardians of the Galaxy ride which was relatively narrow and had a metal post and chain fence to guide the queue.
While moving forward to enter a woman appearing roughly [in her] early 50s, tried to jump between us and one of the metal posts and we bumped her ankle. My husband and I both apologised and asked if she was okay, after a [pregnant] pause she grabbed her ankle and started screaming about her ankle and just shooting us the nastiest looks.
Her entire family walked away from her at this point. I said, “maybe you shouldn’t try to jump in front of people?” She then looked at me in the chair scathingly and said “maybe you should pay attention.” At this point I got rather heated as I [felt] she shouldn’t be trying to jump between people and queue posts anyway let alone in front of a moving [wheelchair] with momentum. I said “I should pay attention?? Maybe you shouldn’t be such a bitch and jump in front of people.”
At that point, my husband just pushed me away and my family and I moved on in the queue. Further into the queue we wrapped around and reconnected with the lady who was standing totally normal. She locked eyes with my sister (F37) and started rubbing her ankle again whimpering. So my husband and sister started rather loudly [mocking] her and she said we ruined her vacation and was never coming back to EPCOT again.”
Sometime later, u/AriannaMarie092423 added the following:
“To clarify the physical interaction. There are two metal poles on each side of the entrance creating a chained queue. We were on the right side fairly close to the pole moving forward family slowly in a crowded area. The lady came in from the right trying to jump between myself and my family to enter the queue by stepping on [and] putting her foot between my legs and the feet of my chair and her other foot between the metal post and the chair. We did what we could to stop immediately by grabbing the wheels and my husband pulling back but the space was very limited.
It’s unclear whether the guests involved faced repercussions following this incident. Stay tuned for possible updates. It’s also worth noting that no injuries were reported.
