I used to work at a small amusement park so I have some good stories, my favorite being the angry parent story.
So the ride I was running was one of the small roller coasters meant for little kids. Now this ride was unique for the children's rides because the child had to be a certain height to ride it, meaning I would have to measure kids and turn them away if they were too short. So on this particular day, this ride was super busy and by busy I mean I had twenty kids who refused to go ride any other rides for my entire shift. They just kept getting off the ride and getting right back in line, for hours. Now this guy comes up to me with his two older daughters and his young son and asks me if his son can ride the ride. I measure the kid and tell him that he is too short and can't get on this ride.
This. Parent. Flipped. the. fuck. out.
He picked his kid up, walked over to my ride's entrance, kicked the gate open, placed his kid in the seat, looked me in the eye and said "now run the ride" in front of everybody.
So, I ran the ride. Watched his kid bob around in the seat a bit since he was too small, but he was otherwise alright. None of the other parents said anything and management never brought it up.
