Me, personally, I hate the phrase "My bad." People seem to think it's a "Get out of jail free" card. Same! "oops my bad" reminds me of what a kid says when they don't care what they did. Well, then, it's a good thing that these people won't say it when things go pear-shaped.  But, what I really meant, is that they won't take responsibility for their actions and look for someone else to blame. Cheers. Oh I knew what you meant and I totally agree. I just get irked by that phrase. People who skirt rules don't usually take responsibility for themselves and then blame others if something goes wrong. |

Love it. Years ago during one of DD's soccer games, I heard her say that. I cringed. We talked about how it sounds like you're blowing off responsibility. I think/hope she stooped saying it.

So, on the "my bad" thing. I guess it depends upon how it's said and what, if any, follows. I've said it, ad have had others say it. But it really does mean "my fault. I'll try not to let it happen again. And I'll fix it this time if possible." I can certainly see the "get out of jail" viewpoint as well. I've just never used it that way (and I say it rarely anyway). I am more apt to say "apologies" when I do something like that. For the most part, I just don't make mistakes, so no reason to say it  (As if). Cheers. |

I’ll have to work on that! 😂😂😂 |

Saw a little girl get busted on Slinkie Dog after an hour plus wait with an elaborate beehive hairdo. The CM was not impressed.

I bet the height restrictions are already buffered 1-2" because of this |

Years ago I took my youngest DSS on Loch Ness Monster at Busch Gardens when he had to wear his thickest sole shoes and really stretch to barely meet the height requirement. (LNM had the lowest height requirement of all the coasters at BG, so it was the only one he had a chance of getting on). After we were both locked in with those over-the-shoulder restraints and the ride had just started moving forward I saw that he had slipped BOTH of his arms out of the shoulder restraint and was waving his arms and yelling (he was 7, thought he was too cool). I was freaking out. I couldn't reach him because I was locked in myself. I was yelling at him to put his arms back under the restraints (which he did, but kept taking them back out). I had nightmares for months about being on that coaster and him falling out because he was too small for the safety restraints to work properly. Never, ever again. Those height requirements are there for a reason.
