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.

A group of about 6 people all laughing and sucking from their camelbacks exchanging spit shots of water into each others faces while wetting everybody around them for django django's entire set...I have never been so angry at a festival than I was while walking away from them with a soaked tshirt. Fuck those weirdos.
He seems smarter than that. He seems more like an "All I do is Fuck & Party & tell people how awful they are on inforoo" type guy. Which is why I like him.
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 can understand not liking people on shoulders because they're WAY above the average height of the crowd. As someone who is 5'0", however, I bring a stool cause I'm sick of having to choose a spot far enough back so the people on stage look like ants, or spend the entire show hearing muffled music and staring at someone's back. I never push through in front of people then pop my stool down, that's just as rude as a tall person pushing through and planting themselves in front of me. But if I'm at a show ahead of time and find a good spot, hell yeah I'm using my stool. I also let shorties around me use it to spread the love
To know how it feels, get on your knees during a show sometime and just test it out. It's pretty shitty to be short in a massive crowd all trying to see the same thing. Don't hate us for using our smarts to figure out how to enjoy the show, as long as those on stools/boxes/whatever aren't being dicks
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.
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.
It truly was more funny than annoying. I thought it added to the experience more than anything. Plus, the bird was puking and farting smoke when ever it went off, I mean come on. That is comedy right there.
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.
I think they should compartmentalized the whole what/which fields. haha. "Oh the show starts in 10? You're in section Arch/Broo'er tent. Enjoy the show, Quacker."

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for the mental imagery that this post brought me.

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.
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.

People who hold their smartphones above their heads and attempt to record an entire concert. I have no objection with snapping a few photos and perhaps recording a video clip or two, but standing behind someone holding a smart phone above their head for 30 minutes is a little annoying and distracts others from just being in the moment and enjoying the show.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
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.
Can I pass? My friends are up there.... commence fuckton of people line.....
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.

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.
People that are 6'-8" and go alllll the way to the front and blocks everyone's view.... Had this happen at Empire of the sun last year. Some +6'-5" douche went all the way to the front rail and blocked everyone's view behind him. Seriously, you couldn't stand a tad further back since you hover everyone? You would still be able to see perfectly fine.

Hey! Tall people deserve to be on the rail just as much as shorter folks; don't take this away from us - we already get everything off of top shelves for you pygmies.

Agreed! I'm 6'3. Not insanely tall, but enough to be a problem for people behind me. I try to be considerate but it's kind of inevitable I block someone's view.
