Stupid things people do at concerts

- Don't tackle people to get things thrown into the audience that are worthless. I've seen people get tackled for stupid things like an old sweaty towel and an empty water bottle tghrown out by the band. Another thing that is stupid to fight over are those stupid promo t-shirts and kuszies thrown out by DJs from the local radio stations. Who cares? These items are worthless!
- Don't kick when you are crowd surfing. A girl was crowd surfing at the Disturbed show and kicked me in the face. My nose bled and ruined my Bad Religion concert t-shirt. I was so mad. I love that t-shirt. It goes over real well living in the bible belt with the crucifix with the red circle and slash over it.
- Don't go crowd surfing if you are a large person. Enough said.
- Go into a mosh pit with a full beer. Inevitably the beer goes all over them and everyone else. Then they get pissed off at the person who knocks into them. Finish your beer before trying to go towards the front in a concert crowd.
- Go into a concert crowd and smoke. The crowd knocks them around and inevitably I always end up getting burned by the damn cigarette.
- Go into a concert crowd and do not wear deodarant or effective deodarant. Spend the extra couple bucks and buy the stuff that works! I don't want someone who smells knocking into me with their sweaty, smelly self. Also, pechuli oil does not cover up BO.... it just adds to the sickening smell.
- Guys if you don't have the body for it....do not take your shirt off! The guys who always take their shirts off are never look good. They are the guys that are overweight and have so much hair on their back that you could french braid it! Yuck!
- Fat girls wear midriff shirts, short shorts, and tight clothes. This seems to happen a lot at music festivals. I don't want to see your rolls of fat......cover it up. When you wear clothes like this, it makes you look fatter than you really are!
- The clothes that you wore in the early 80's to concerts do not look cute on you now. A woman in her 40's wearing the Catholic school girl outfit just looks stupid, not sexy.
- Don't flash your breasts at concerts. It makes you look lower that a stripper at least strippers get paid. I have great looking breasts but would never show them for free.
- Along with the breast, if your boobs sag don't show them. I was at a Def Leppard concert and so many women were flashing their tits. Well, they might have looked good in the 80's. They do not look that great now.
- Don't crowd surf in a skirt with no panties. This I saw at Voodoo Fest in New Orleans. This chick kept crowd surfing with no panties on. She had multiple piercings on her twat. It was so gross! Think of how many hands touched that one! Yuck!
- Don't bring kids to inappropriate shows. I saw parents bringing little kids to shows like Marilyn Manson and Slipknot. When you see a 7 year old singing all of the words to a song that goes All Day Long I Dream of Fucking You.....you know that is not what your kid should be singing. What are you teaching your kids??
- Don't get so drunk that you cannot enjoy the show. I've seen people puking and passing out at shows where the tickets were over $100. If you want to get that drunk, turn the music up real loud and then get drunk. You won't know the difference. Also, my shoes will not get hit with your puke.
- Don't go to concerts and try to start fights. You will get kicked out and you wasted your money. I've seen a lot of dumbasses who do this during the opening act. I've seen people get kicked out of shows for starting fights where the tickets cost 200$. If someone pisses you off, move! Its not worth getting kicked out of the show for the petty B.S.
- Don't be stupid and try to jump onto stage. The musicians will ignore you or avoid you. Then the bouncers will grab you and some will beat the crap out of you. Then you get kicked out of the show.
- When a slow song somes on, don't pull out your lighter......especially if you are really drunk. At a Motley Crue show, I saw a guy accidently light the back of a girl's hair on fire because he was wobbly when he swayed his lighter back and forth. It did not help matters that she had a can of hairspray on her hair. It was funny at the time. But, if it was me, I'd be pissed.
- This happened several times. For polically charged bands, don't boo them for their views on politics then sing along to the songs that echo the same thing. Do you listen to the words in the songs you sing. This was really evident at the REM concert and System of a Down concert. Both spoke against the war and Bush. They were booed.....but the people who booed were singing along to songs that were antiBush songs. What dumb asses!
- Do not scream the words to the songs, so that I have a hard time actually hearing the band. I came to hear the band... not you. You can mouth the words or sing along normally and it won't be annoying. The band is not going to hear you and say gee he sounds great, he should become part of our band.
- Do not try to sing along to songs at a concert when you don't know the words to the songs. I came to hear the band's version of the song, not yours.
- Do not scream Free Bird at any other show except for a Lynyrd Skynyrd show.
- Do not scream that the band sucks. Why are you at the show if you don't like them?!?

I have been to 100's of shows. These are the list of the things that people do that annoy me. These are the things that stupid people do at concerts....and they always end up next to me.
Actually number 8 applies to the whole world. These people are at the mall, on the streets, just bloody well everywhere.
That is sad, but true. But, I guess I notice them at concerts more because between sets I look around at the crowds.
Do not scream Free Bird at any other show except for a Lynyrd Skynyrd show.
- that's hysterical.... and so true!
Great list, although I would just cut out crowd surfing all together. Someone once punched me in the eye when they were crowd surfing and it completely ruined the concert for me. And I hate people throwing drinks around, someone once ruined one of my custom t shirts I had made by throwing a full cup of beer over it :(
