These people are the worst. If it's one person, fine. They probably just went to the bathroom or to get a beer. I've been that guy. But when it's a group of 4+, Eff that.
It's not too much a problem for me. But my wife is 5'3, so it takes a lot of good positioning for her to even see the stage at tent shows. That sucks.
However, it seems like at least three other people had a problem with this specific guy, haha.
Also last year two drunk Frat douchers attempted to pee in a bottle during McCartney and spilled it all over the ground; then tried to push by my sister even though she was right at the gate in front of the Pit talking to Reggie Watts.
So, having to deal with two drunk idiots and one shifty grifter while meeting a countless amount of amazing people at 'Roo over the past two years says a ton about everyone there.
Speaking of people who are 5'3", it bothers me when I see someone standing on a box (or whatever they can) to see the stage. I guess the same goes for people getting on shoulders. Even I can't see over them.
I'm trying not to be too hypocritical here because I'm 6'8" and I know people hate being behind me at shows. There's always a noticeable gap directly behind me. But I can't help being big! That being said, I understand if someone writes "tall people" in this thread.

Haha, if you're 6'8" you just have no idea how it is to never see a show you're at, unless you're there early enough to be on the rail. It's quite frustrating. I strongly considered a collapsible step stool (I'm guessing this is what you mean by a box?). The only thing keeping me from doing it is not wanting to carry it around all day.

I mean me and my girlfriend are just tall enough to see over some people, but when there are people in back of us holding hands trying to snake their way to the front, and then give you an attitude when you don't want to move... I get a tad annoyed.
the worst for me is groups of people that are camping out for a good spot for the next show (or even two shows later) that dont give a shit about the band currently playing and just talk the whole time. i don't realy mind them getting there early so that they can be closer for someone they really want to see, but shut the fuck up during the current show.

Or even worse, people who sing the wrong lyrics to a song to try and be funny.

Being tall, "The Gift & The Curse"...mostly the gift though. It's nice at shows, but in 4 Roos I've never tried for the Ferris wheel because I don't want to wait in line only to not fit on the ride. I feel like people would probably be more annoyed behind someone on one of those step stools than a tall dude though. But I don't know..

I was behind a tall guy about 10 rows back in the tent for Empire of the Sun last year, and another taller muscular guy next to me saw me struggling to see, se he quickly pushed the guy in front of me to his right and yanked my shirt forward to get in front. It was glorious. I have respected tall guys ever since.

People who come late to a show and think they are going to be in the first couple rows. It drives me nuts if I'm dancing at a late night show, having a good time and someone tries to "dance" their way in front of me.

Ugh, I feel bad even doing that when I have to go to the bathroom. In fact, that is my biggest problem with shows. Putting forward the time & committment to get front & center, only to have to leave that spot to pee at some point. Then I feel like a total douche trying to get back in, as I know most people think I am full of it. Has anyone come up with a good solution to this? (Note: not going pee is not a good solution nor an option, haha).

Those are fine! I'm not over 6', but I can't imagine being much shorter at concerts, and the people I've seen using them still only barely come up to my height when on their stools. Now if you bring a 6-foot step ladder, we may have a problem.
The clocktower really bothers this many people? It's fucking Bonnaroo.
That thing wasn't always there. So the loudness and in your faceness took a little getting used to. Especially if you were in close proximity to it.
I remember when it wasn't there. And I camped close to it during its inaugural year. It still has never really bothered me. If you're in a bad spot at the Other Tent, maybe.

This! There was a group of guys in front of me at Ariel Pink last year that never shut up. Between them and the terrible sound it was probably the worst show of the weekend for me.

It didn't really bother me. And I'm glad that you're so calm cool and collected. I on the other hand am a puppy. Startle easily. Excited easily. I just don't piss on the floor when someone pets me.
But I jumped and/screamed every time that thing went off in '12 if I was at camp. It was hilarious.
edit: apparently, I'm too excited for the Oxford comma. Sorry.
