I've been peed on before. I was at a show in an ampitheater once and I felt something odd on my foot...I turned around and there was this MARINE with his junk hanging out and he was pissing all over the place. It splattered all over my foot/leg and my brother's foot/leg. My brother almost started something at that moment, but the show just started and we didn't want to get kicked out.
Being so inebriated that you can't pee in a CONTAINER with a CAP is absolutely disgusting and immature. I don't understand why people can't control themselves. If you have to pee, find a potty or a bottle with a cap and HAVE GOOD AIM!

Just carry an empty bottle with you at all times. Who cares if someone can see your junk? They'd rather see that than you pissing where they're going to be sitting.
I could care less if someone wants to discretely drain their dragon. I'm the most calm pacifistic person you'll ever meet. But as god as my witness, if I ever got pissed on, I would make sure that guy would sober up immediately with my fists of rage. There's just no excuse for that kind of behavior.
Well, I think if I'm going to be getting drunk than I'll just stay near the back so I can access the porta potties easily. But otherwise, if I really want to keep my place up front and have secured a nice spot for a long period of time I will carry around a gatorade bottle to secretely dispose of my waste. I know that if your going to be doing some "extracurricular" activities at a show and you really need to go badly it can bring some pretty bad vibes over your head if yall catch my drift. I think this is a good thread. I've always wondered what people really thought about this kind of stuff. Obviously if someone is going to be rude and just go all over the place their really just bieng irresponsible and are probably asking for it.

i love those commercials! and the one where the dudes toast their water bottles at the end (may be the same one i cant remember they are all halarious)

how'd you know he was a marine?
I meant to type military...he was wearing tags and had a short haircut...I assumed he was in the military. Oh...and he was wearing a shirt that had army or something to that nature on it...it's been over 10 years since that happened, so I can't remember exactly what he was wearing.
(Yes, I know that a short haircut and tags doesn't mean you're in the military, but I probably have a 94.7% shot at being correct.)

If I see anyone peeing on the ground I just kick them in the ass so they fall in their own filth. Pissing in a bottle is fine. Even better if you can do it without even taking your stuff out. But on the ground is gross. That's even worse than the cigs butts in my mind. About urine being sterile. I work for a major healthcare company and we have to treat and handle human urine as a biohazard. Now, I'm just a maintenance man so I don't know all the specifics. But all the urine containers in the freezers have the biohazard label on them.
I just dont see how its needed. Even in the front row.
How many shows have yall been to? Because its not that hard to navigate the crowd. And being alone would make it easier. Also how much do you people pee? Can it not be held if you refuse to go to a porto?
Trust me it shouldnt ever take 6 hours to get to the front. I'm not a crowd jerk at all and I can make it to and fro. And if you run into an a$$ that is giving you trouble just keep moving. I walked to the very front during Phil last year mid show to take some pics.
I think its being looked at the wrong way. Its not hard at all to leave the crowd and re=enter.

I don't know how your getting to the front so easily. You must be like 8 feet tall and 1 foot wide or sumthing. I don't think I've ever NOT had trouble getting up front at the What Stage. Maybe a I just don't have good crowd manuevering skills. The closest I've ever gotten to that stage after SERIOUS SERIOUS work was right in the middle of between the stage and the soundboard.

yeah plus its rude to push your way up front, even if you were there the peopel you're pushing will probobly think you're rude
Not really... flash 'em a smile, a pat on the shoulder, say "just passing through", etc.. Intimidation doesn't work as well as good-natured cajoling. Remember: we're all here for a party.
Short people can do it easier than tall people; as long as you don't block their view, most people don't mind giving up a foot of space.
If you're alone and have 2 drinks in your hand, people assume you're just heading back to your group. Waving at someone up front like "I'll be right there" works just as well sometimes.
You've got to be a good people-watcher; look for distracted couples (arguing, making-out, searching their backpacks, etc.), 'enthusiastic' dancers (arms flailing, swaying widely), or gaggles of teenagers. These typically take up more room and/or their neighbors give them a wider berth - wide enough for you to slip by.
These tactics work fine for me in damn near 20 years of clubbing and GA shows. Granted, a festival the size of Bonnaroo may be different than a DMB show at Randall's Island, but the fundamentals are solid.
Now, explain to me how smiling while you're pissing on someone's shoe is going to keep you from a beat-down... .
I have used the ole "two beers in the hand" routine to get up closer plenty of times to get past security checkpoints. They sure as hell don't want you spilling 16oz of cold beer on them while fumbling for a ticket stub.
Doesn't count for GA, so I guess that post was worthless!

Now thats someone who knows how to walk through a crowd. Its not that hard.

Are you insane - peeing in the crowd. Holy crap - IMHO thats crazy. Never would I consider it in a million years - sure its a big crowd and a long walk but its part of the process - Get up; walk out, come back - its really not that hard.
Excuse me works; SORRY is pretty darn good too. I've done the walk from in front of the soundboard to the bathrooms and beer tent and back plenty of times. No big deal. Pissin on my leg during Darkstar is not acceptable. Pissin in front of me during Tall Boy ain't gonna cut it either.
i think it would be close to impossible for me (a girl) to piss in a bottle so i would just hold it because its probably rude to pop-a-squat in the middle of a crowd
i am pretty much against it. most of you wouldn't watch your girl/boyfriend pee in your own house, nobody needs to watch 80,000 strangers do it. can we have a little class here???
Yeah, I don't understand how pushing to the front is an unforgiveable sin, but taking a wizz in the middle of a crowd is somehow acceptable. I'd rather have some asshat push me to get a better view than some douchetard take a wizz next to me, bottle or no.
The thing is, I have a small bladder. And I drank beer and water 24/7 last year. And I never once left the middle of a set to go take a piss. Hell, my knees and back can literally be giving out and I will not leave the damn show.
The thought never even crossed my mind to piss in the crowd last year... I think I seriously went to the Port-a-pot 3 or 4 times all weekend last year (for peeing/pooping, and once to clean up with some baby wipes. I don't care, if I see someone to the left of me peeing in a bottle, I'd get a little chuckle and forget it. If someone were pissing on the ground in the open, I may question them, but then again maybe not...

Exactly
Buck up its bonnaroo if you cant hold it for a set here then you have serious pee issues.
