^^ Doing that is doucheyer than that Fox N Friends, morning guy, Steve Douchey (spelled Doocy).
Edit: Wait, he is a pretty big douche`. On second thought, Steve is the bigger douche, but wins by a very thin margin, thin like "tie goes to the runner" thin.

Just go to the airport, its included in your ticket nowadays
As far as the tipping to get a better camping spot, I don't know if I agree with that, but whatever. I totally agree with tipping your barman, that job can be hell and they deserve it.
I guess I just misunderstood your sarcasm. It's just a frustrating subject because I DID run into kids like that last year at roo and it pisses me off. Like those kids that shove past you in a packed tent show because they think for whatever Leno-y reason that they deserve to be able to get to shows late and then force themselves into a spot that someone like myself waits patiently for.
I mean that kind of stuff has always happened, but last year it was real bad.
I agree, last year was horrible with the pushing and shoving!
It irritates me that little snots think it's ok to show up late, push their way through and step all over your stuff while doing it. Show some consideration, that beer cost me $5 and 10 minutes in line.
Get there early enough to see the show or else be happy in the back. Thanks you very much, I have added my 2 cents on this.
Re: tipping, we always did for the beer and food vendors. Since many have tip jars, even if it's a quarter, it's better than nothing. And they do want you to move fast, so you don't need to make a big deal out of it - it's just karma, the right thing to do for people out in the heat all day over griddles and on their feet.
We had like 11 cars this past year and collected up money to tip the parking folks to ensure we would all be together. We didn't want to be moved somewhere better, we just wanted to ensure our cars were all together. We didn't need the money, the folks were really great and put us in a perfect line together, even while they were getting soggy in the rain.

Just because you didn't want to "be moved somewhere better" doesn't mean your tipping shouldn't also be construed as bribing. They performed a service for you that they didn't have to and probably wouldn't unless you did pay them. Otherwise, you probably wouldn't have paid them in the first place.

Personally, I am a supporter of those people. It can get annoying when they constantly walk by you, but, hey it's something you gotta deal with. and all they are doing is working hard for a better spot. It's no easy task treking through crowd pushing your way to the front. So if you're successful, kudos to you.
I think the more you move around, the better. Keep searching till you find the right spot.

I respectfully disagree. It's easy to be an a-hole. The harder part is restraining your want-take-have instincts and behaving like part of a community. Pushing and shoving your way through a crowd and banking on their resisting the urge to get into a confrontation because you feel that your desires are more important than those of the people that have been patiently waiting (and probably sacrificing other opportunities) is not working hard, it's arrogance.

If they wanted people to stay in one spot during a show, they would put seats in. The only reason the people move up ahead of you is because they are taking advantage of space that you clearly don't want to use. Plus when you are at roo, it's all about having a good time, so it's not worth getting upset over.

I'm not saying that you root yourself down for the entire festival. What I'm saying is that when I am twenty feet from the stage in a packed tent, I think that the chances that five people holding hands who are all six inches shorter than me push their way through a crowd because they see space that myself and everybody around me doesn't is slim.
I'm there to have a good time. I respect others and feel that burrowing through a crowd is disrespectful. I know that it's a fringe idea. I don't let it ruin my experience, I just don't condone it as behavior to be revered.
I think only short people should be allowed up front.
I hate looking at peoples backs.
But I have found at a lot of festivals if I'm standing. I tend to be a back of the stage blanket person because it's easier to see. But if I am standing and there is a tall person in front of me, if they see me they offer me a spot in front of them because it doesn't do anything to their view.

I gotcha. And do agree, some people are straight dicks about it. Especially when they just barrel there way through. But as someone who tries to check out as much as a I possibly can, getting to a show early just doesn't happen. So when I do get to a show, I go to the best open spot, which usually you have to work your way through some crowd members to do so. As long as you're not a total ass about it, I think it's perfectly reasonable.
I'm the same way. I catch a lot of half sets so that I can see as much as possible. I just take an opportunistic approach when I show up to a set: if there's a hole in front of me, I fill it. I have accepted that sometimes my decision to not wait for a set means that I won't get an ideal spot. I'm tall enough that I can pretty much always see, though.
What rubs me the wrong way is the pusher/puller types. They're like the people that don't merge in traffic until they've driven by the entire line of people that merged when prompted by signs and then force their way in. There's a special circle of hell for those folks.
Working your way through the crowd from spot to spot is different than the folks that aggressively plow through. I'm cool with that.
Side note: As far as I am concerned, nobody has a right to lay a blanket and/or chairs under a tent. If you want to set up camp all day, that's cool. Do it at What or Which or outside of the Tents. Inside of the tents need to remain fluid and maximize the shade opportunities. (It's especially not cool to camp out and NAP under a tent!)
I am somewhat of a communist and instead of tipping people who work for Bonnaroo I tip somebody close to the front of the line at whatever station I am in to let me cut them. That way I establish a self propelling Roo economy where money just circulates amongst patrons.
