TIFU by getting a large group of people to steal from Disney.

Not today, but a few years ago.

My family and I went to Disney World and did the 3-day, 3-park thing. We’ve never been and this was a first large trip for a park. We started off at Animal Kingdom and like always, Florida was hitting 90 degrees with brutal humidity. It was still 50 degrees back at home so we were all instantly melting out there.

About 20 minutes in to walking the park, we saw a cart sitting in the middle of the walkway with a big tub of ice water but no worker in sight. I asked my dad how we get them and he either joking or seriously said, They’re free with the admission, just grab one”.

I took that at face value and ran up and grabbed a bottle for each of us. While I was doing that, another family came up and asked how much they were. I obviously didn’t know so I just repeated what my dad said “They’re free!”. They started grabbing bottles too. Then a third family saw all of us helping ourselves and grabbed bottles too. One by one, people trickled in and grabbed a bottle for themselves.

30 bottles later and more people walking up, the cart attendant finally shows up and starts asking for money to the new family that joined the hydration heist. We were still standing nearby enjoying our ice cold stolen water and quickly walked off pretending it never happened.

TL;DR Family and I went to Disney World and accidentally started a water bottle looting spree because my father told me they were “Free with admission” and I passed this info on to other innocent families.
