4 Amazingly Annoying Concert Behaviors

Thanks to technology and an ever increasing level of ADD, dealing with crowds at concerts has become nearly unbearable. Why pay for a show if you're not even going to pay attention to it? There are some ways to not be 'that guy' at a concert...


'That phone guy' - why is it so hard for people to realize that unless you have an uber important job, your phone can wait!? If you're on call, or a doctor, or someone who could be needed at any second because you work in IT, then yes check your phone often!

Everyone else... put your freakin' phone away! Take some pictures, maybe even take a video snippet... but stop holding your camera/phone in front of my face so you can have pictures of every word coming out of the singer's mouth. Your friends don't need second-to-second updates, and are probably sick of you blowing up their facebook feed with incessant ramble. Give your thumbs a rest, put it away...

'That request guy' - if you're the guy who's been screaming "FREE BIRD!!!!!" for the last two hours between every song, there's a good chance everyone in the audience wants to punch you. The band comes up with a set list before every show, and are probably far from phased by what you're yelling at them. It's irritating, and you're embarrassing yourself in your drunken stupor.

'That puke guy' - don't be that guy that drinks so much you puke everywhere with thousands of people around you. Definitely don't do it at an indoor venue either.  You feel better... We have to smell it... who has the better end of this deal?

'That old guy'  - You know that one sixty-year-old who's been yelling at the entire crowd to sit down just because he is?  Don't be that guy! It's a concert, you're there to have fun and everyone is going to stand whether you like it or not!  Don't be a nasty old fart in a place you barely belong anyway. That being said if you're a fifteen year old, there's no need to go balls-to-the-wall psychotic over someone shitty like Justin Bieber. Learn what music is...
