We were the recipient of unused Fast Passes last trip and were very thankful. Definitely a good thing to do if you aren't going to use yours.
On giving away fast passes, my group of 3 was leaving Epcot and gave away 3 FPs for Soarin', what a surprise for the 3 we gave them to.
Always exchange cellphone numbers with people in your group so in the event of a seporation you get back together quickly.
Pick a meeting place in the park preferably a landmark to meet at the end of the day if you do decide to split for a few hours
It was more entertaining and funnier! Plus it made a bigger impact so we could focus on the wrong things we were doing. (If any) Thanks for the lists!

So instead of nasty looks and grumbles of "....some parents..." try a little sympathy. It might even solve the problem.
Oh and Tony above makes an amazing point. Offer to take pictures for people. It will make their vacation! And often they will return the favor and take a picture of you and your group as well!
Bad behaviour, things people wouldnt to at thome? Uhm, at theme parks? No not really. Dont be such intolerant prudes. The big theme parks have a very uniform visitor makeup to begin with. Embrace at least some deviation, thats part of the fun at a holiday.
Im on the contrary always surprised how great for example the lines work.
I'll admit, I'd never thought about giving away my unused FastPasses until someone kindly gave theirs to me & my boyfriend for Test Track. Ever since then, we always "pay it forward" and have given away FPs for Test Track, Soarin', Big Thunder Mountain RR, and others. And we don't necessarily give them to the first people we see approaching that ride -- it sort of becomes a game of deciding whom to choose. (For instance, since we're affectionate ourselves, once we gave them to a young couple holding hands. Another time, I happened to like a guy's Oscar the Grouch T-shirt.) Have fun with it, and you can really make someone's day!
Compliment the staff? Vacations are for being greedy and hedonistic!
I like pushing and shoving, thank you very much.
Amen, brother - unfortunately, there are tourists that don't act in public, not only counting misbehaving young'uns. The types of them include uncivilized cheerleaders (especially the ones affiliated with Walt Disney World-centric Pop Warner Little Scholars, whose competitions we Disneyphiles who visit there know all too well), excited Argentinean youth herds, and overzealous Brazilian tour groups. (I'm not against them, especially the latter two who chant excessively twice a year, and the economy would be cruddy without them.)
Oh, and do keep a shirt on, especially if you are a lady who is going on a water ride. Theme parks are not water parks, so keep bikini top under your tank top, please!
