Sociology question: How is it some newcomers to lounge "get it" (post quality content, join in the shenanigans, never take things personally) whereas others get easily butthurt, add to the drama, and complain about OGs and bullies? There's only one lounge. Right?
Personally I lurked for awhile, so I understood the dynamics somewhat. - MarshaMouse

THIS. Ease into the lounge, don't run in screaming like a weirdo. - John 312.0 #567 9:38PM
I did this too! Great advice to new mwers - Madi 204.1 #1614 9:39PM
I took this approach as well. And I have managed to avoid any drama thus far! :D - Jillian 766.2 #131 9:41PM
Me too - NeverlandTink 421.8 #310 9:42PM
Same here but I still made mistakes but i like to think I caught on pretty fast and relaxed a little. Times like these makes me wonder how I appeared to the rest of the MWers lol - cesium55 531.2 #220 9:43PM
I just joined but took nothing personal. And laughed - Jackie211 472.8 #260 10:00PM
I also lurked for quite a while (almost a year) I learned a lot! - Boundin 428.1 #299 10:06PM
Yes I also waited and read the lounge. Posted wait times. - Tealtownfan 701.8 #145 7:34AM
I did too, Marsha. And, yeah, I still made some mistakes (and I still do, lol), but I think lurking made me more aware of the way the lounge functions. - Spoonful_O_Sugar 439.1 #288 7:43AM
@ 818, it's just human nature, not everybody gets along in real life. Don't expect it in virtual life. The content here draws 'em in, and is enough to make some of 'em stay. - connielu 672.2 #161 7:52AM
I'm still lurking. I have yet to post a thread. - mightymike®©™ 272.0 #826 3:18PM
Yes! I did the same before I posted. - thestalkerNIN 340.9 #443 4:19PM
There are two types of people in this world, Kyle. They're called "gods and clods". Gods and clods, Kyle. - John

Too funny! And true! - Tom 4013.8 #7 9:41PM
I'm gonna bump this thread everytime a nutball shows up in here!😂 - Calypso

Oh.. And ... DRAMA 4 LYFE!💢💢✌ - Calypso 814.4 #119 10:34PM
Regulators mount up - HotDiggityDogDaddy 1112.4 #73 10:34PM
Your gonna be busy. }:) - Evilstitch 333.7 #469 10:36PM
You rang? - LBChica 1560.6 #52 10:37PM
This post will never die... As it shouldn't. - vikkimus 198.7 #25 10:38PM
😂😂😂 - MimiMouse 1015.6 #88 10:40PM
Lol I actually want to know the answer to this! - Madi
204.1 #1614 9:37PM
It's like the answer to "how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop?". The world may never know. - LBChica
1560.6 #52 9:40PM
😂 very true - cesium55 531.2 #220 9:50PM
I ran in butt naked and screaming..... But my skin is thicker and I'm just a AWESOME person... I got it that hey, yes some ppl get treated differently cuz they have earned that, and one day when I earn that then I'll rub it in... What can I say? Not everyone is like me. - vikkimus
198.7 #25 9:41PM
You were naked!😳 - SplashTheHorseDot 129.2 #2641 9:42PM
Maybe... And still sometimes when I feel dangerous... - vikkimus 198.7 #25 9:45PM
Nobody is gonna "rub it in". I'm sure the FAQ forbids that. - Experiment818 1598.0 #49 9:45PM
I think of it as understated awesomeness... Or quiet bossing :p I just hate how some people complaine that the lounge is not fair... Well I have no idea what planet they live on but earth has a nasty habit of not being fair... It's a crapy reality but one that hey, oh well.... Hummmm - vikkimus 198.7 #25 9:53PM
Also interesting that a few of them want to buck the institution and change the ways that have been. I see it over and over. Quite interesting. *nibbles on a churro* - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint
1837.7 #43 9:41PM
No!!! Going now..... - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1837.7 #43 9:47PM
My parents taught me to do my best, be nice and to laugh. I try to apply their advice daily, it worked for me with MW, I came in friendly, made some friends, have done some RAKs, won a RAK and have learned A TON about disney that I never would have known. There is so much love and kindness out there, we need a few crazies to have something to gauge the awesomeness! Without the bad you can't appreciate all of the good! - LisaMouse7531

The funny thing is I doubt the ones who really get butthurt can't be so serious and sunshine and rainbows in their own lives. It's as if they're Mother Theresa or life is like the Smurfs. No one is like that. Family always rib each other over things they do. You joke with each other and laugh over our foibles. It doesn't mean we hate each other. That's what I don't understand. - cesium55
531.2 #220 10:24PM
Haha foibles foibles foibles - SplashTheHorseDot 129.2 #2641 10:26PM
That's a funny word, "foibles." - Spoonful_O_Sugar 439.1 #288 7:45AM
I wanna say it!! (rather, type it)..foibles. *runs off saying it over and over 'till it no longer sounds like a word* - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1837.7 #43 8:35AM
People are strange when you're a stranger.... - DizGeek
453.3 #273 6:37AM
I guess we live in a culture that has spent years teaching our youth that we're all unique, individual snowflakes and that everything we do is wonderful. This leads to people thinking that whatever they do is wonderful when it's not. They've never been taught to observe behavior or follow any rules (written or unwritten), only to act without thinking. - Spoonful_O_Sugar
439.1 #288 7:50AM
I make sure I laugh at myself first before anyone else beats me to the punch. I'm just selfish that way! - JustGoofyDad
2130.8 #32 3:07PM
Oh, and there's lots to laugh at. Just ask my wife, my kids, my students, the list goes on..... - JustGoofyDad 2130.8 #32 3:08PM
Right! And well stated! - wonderlandgirl
325.7 #511 9:33PM
I don't know, but I love having the sour ones in here either way. Makes for some fun times. - tina
1154.7 #70 9:34PM
tina's got quite the collection of newbs' tears...mwahahahaha! - toph 2406.7 #26 9:39PM
Toph - ask her to show you her Newb Hearts in Jars collection. Astounding. - Experiment818 1598.0 #49 9:41PM
E818 one day i will 🌃😜 - toph 2406.7 #26 9:45PM
Don't know, it's a mystery that'll never be solved. - JediStitch
429.7 #296 9:36PM
Some of us have common sense! In the 7 months I've been here, I've seen a lot of crazies! I just lurk and laugh when the drama starts! I have enough drama in my life, I don't need virtual drama too! MW is about Disney, which is my happy place, and I would like to keep it that way so I stay out!!! - UrsulasTwin
297.2 #641 9:48PM
Well MW is universal and if there was just one type of people it would be a boring place... - mralexv
306.5 #592 9:51PM
Ah this is true - Madi 204.1 #1614 9:55PM
Tough to say. So many factors at play. A mood could make you take a joke or complement out of context. Making you not get it. Some of those who do get it see beyond the jab sometimes. Sometimes hitting a nerve and making it seem like they don't get it. Could be they do get it and you dont. The variable being it. What's it for one isn't always it for all. Thank God Admin has created so many great tools to customize this app. So that those that don't get your "it" can be blocked and visa versa. Also remove post works great for all. My two cents. - Evilstitch
333.7 #469 9:58PM
This is very un-evil.... - vikkimus 198.7 #25 10:04PM
If only people would use the bBlock or RP instead of complain an make drama inducing posts - cesium55 531.2 #220 10:05PM
Drama sells tickets! - Vegaspooh 118.7 #2808 10:14PM
Evil is a complex puzzle. This coming from my minion to scared to check out the attic? };) - Evilstitch 333.7 #469 10:17PM
Well it is entertaining but then it gets crazy and people say really wrong things and get banned or they don't understand the family that is built here - cesium55 531.2 #220 10:19PM
Yes, but just because what if it rips my face off!?!? (what ever it is) then I would be sad and not evil.... - vikkimus 198.7 #25 10:36PM
Have you ever seen Inception? I figure it's kind of like that. - SplashTheHorseDot
129.2 #2641 10:01PM
BWWWAAAAAAM - SkellyMouse 501.3 #240 10:05PM
only some people lose their "totems" - toph 2406.7 #26 10:09PM
Lol toph - cesium55 531.2 #220 10:19PM
I'm gonna flush that spinning top down the toidy. 🚽 - Experiment818 1598.0 #49 6:10AM
Don't you go losin your totem too E818...we got enough of them runnin loose here in the lounge... - toph 2406.7 #26 7:25AM
Same as life, some folks fit in and some folks don't. - Katrayher
744.2 #139 10:02PM
I'm rude and pick on people..also I am a bully. - Butterlina
1313.6 #63 10:24PM
Oh...and a racist - Butterlina 1313.6 #63 10:27PM
Oh me too!!! Yay!!!! And I'm plain evil most times. - vikkimus 198.7 #25 10:37PM
Some lady at worked thought I was racist. I didn't understand - I'm mixed and the woman was the same race as half of me. People don't make much sense - cesium55 531.2 #220 10:39PM
Love it, same race as half of you :) oh I was told I am racist and that getting married to someone of a different race doesn't make you not racist... Please explain that to me... - vikkimus 198.7 #25 10:42PM
Did you want *me* to explain it? I really don't know. I mean I guess you can still be racist but it doesn't really make sense - cesium55 531.2 #220 10:51PM
Oh you didn't have to, I just thought it was silly of that person to say that... But thank you, it's so much clearer :) - vikkimus 198.7 #25 10:54PM
Don't you need to go kick a puppy about now? - Experiment818 1598.0 #49 6:11AM
Earlier this year I won the Most Unflappable Award for a team I volunteer on. Pretty sure my low flappability has helped on Mouse Wait. Maybe it's genetic...we could do testing ;) - Darlingwendi
681.8 #154 10:28PM
Personally I try to post things that are not the same as others. Some people like them and some don't. I don't get into the drama because I have had way to much in my life. Tis the season to be jolly. - Jimineycricket
197.1 #1706 10:30PM
Are you talking about me? - Rob512
755.1 #134 10:39PM
Who are you? Welcome to MW. - Experiment818 1598.0 #49 6:11AM
There's drama and differing opinions here?? Really? Huh, who'd've think it. Hahaha
I jumped in feet first, flailed a little and learned to swim. :) - JenAnneWho
300.7 #623 8:30AM
There's drama lately? Huh, didn't notice I usually log on to live vicariously through those of you that live close to the parks. - charmmoore
211.6 #1489 8:33AM

681.8 #154 2:59PM

1093.6 #76 3:03PM
You did. You just didn't notice. Lol ;-)😜 - SueBayou 2012.0 #35 3:11PM
not everyones the same.... I used to tend to take things personally but learned not to.. but theres a certain point were the jokes and sarcasm become more than what they are to some people - mralexv
