Ignorant W**kers
Discussion
Went watching Elbow at the MEN last night (superb by the way) but had the night blighted by a group of student turds sat behind us.
At some points we honestly couldn't hear anything BUT them, and I don't mean singing or whistling or generally showing their appreciation, I mean a full on pub conversation about mates, plans for the following week, films they'd watched etc, all shouted above the music.
WHY??? Concert tickets ain't cheap, why pay all that money out (there were six of them I think) to sit and chat amongst yourselves.
I'd already turned and given them a few dissaproving glares but at the point when enough was enough the woman sat next to me beat me to it. As I went to open my mouth she started on them, in hindsight this was probably a good thing as she was a good deal more polite than my version would have been.
She just asked them if they wanted to chat wouldn't it be better to go and stand at the bar outside as they were spoiling the show for everybody else around them, it was only when they started to give her abuse that I got involved. When the bravest (drunkest) of them called her a "f
kin idiot" I spun round and told them they were the idiots and to pack it in, one of the others chirrped up that "he wasn't even fkin singing at the moment" so I told him we'd come to watch the full show and that it was time to shut their din.
They did, sort of, except for comments for the rest of the night about not being able to make any noise beceause "the boring fkers in front will tell us off" loud enough for everybody to hear. Sadly spent the rest of the concert wondering how far out of the door we'd get later before it kicked off, it didn't thankfully.
So if you are on here now reading this and were sat in block 104, row Q seats 116 to 122, heres a great big fk YOU! YOU SELFISH S from me and the twenty or so people around you!
Thank you for your time.

Good work.. Maybe some more swear words would give a higher score. 7/10.
Other than that.. I know what you mean, we went to Hammersmith Apollo, and this group of girls next to us were too annoying. Kept just chatting, leaving their seats to go to their friends, and then back again. Flirting across us to these chaps nearer the end of the row.

I never understand people like that. Same as the wkers in the cinema. 8 fking quid for a ticket... I want 3D, silence and a fecking hand job for that price... not ttty little s on their mobiles and then 'what appened innit, who dat, wot dis'
On a similar note... people who breath on me in queues.
I don't go out much now...
Easy solution - tell the cinema staff that you've seen them recording the film with their mobile. I had a similar problem with some 'yoofs' and they were ejected 5 minutes after my complaint kers in the cinema. 8 fking quid for a ticket...

I gave a lad a dead leg at Hard Rock Calling last summer. Not my usual approach but on that occasion I was the one who'd had a few too many and it seemed like a perfectly reasonable solution at the time.
Sat on the floor on a picnic blanket, as were many tens of thousands of other people, with a nice cold beer, I find myself in a cloud of fag ash, turn round there is some muppet stood six inches behind me flicking ash every twenty seconds, I politely asked him to move, he apologized and did.....for about ten seconds!
Three more times I asked him to move, three more times I got a faceful of ash and my beer was undrinkable, so I dug him in the thigh as hard as I could, he got the message then!
At any social gathering i ALWAYS consider how my actions will affect those around me, can't believe how many people couldn't care less!

Sounds crap.

It was fking you wasn't it you utter !!!!No seriously mate, this was on another level, I like chatting to people at concerts and having a bit of a laugh but this was plain ridiculous.
Incidentally I'm a pretty tolerant guy with this sort of thing.

I'm usually bouncing too much in the mosh pit to take note of conversationsSounds crap.

The last gig I was at, I had beer spilt over my feet by the smashed dick behind me. Later joined by one of his pals who took my hood, put it on my head and pulled it tight down around my face. I informed them if they didn't fk off I'd split their fking heads open. They fked off, but of course they would, I'm physically a typical PHer.
And yes, I were wearing an 'oodie, it don't make me a chav innit.

Me too. Then you have the problem of nob heads trying to film the gig with their mobiles. I fking hate people who do that. I was 10 feet from the stage at Guns n Roses and some prick asks me if I wouldn't mine keeping still because he's trying to film. fk OFF!!!Eee When I were a lad, if you were towards the front at a gig you expected the following:
1. To leave with your ears ringing
2. To leave covered in beer.
3. To leave with at least some sort of injury. [/Yorkshire]
Nowadays little Tarquin expects to leave with a s
t, grainy pointless videoclip to put on youtube for his mates non enjoyment. dheads!!If you f
kers try this at the New York Dolls on tuesday, expect no mercy

not bad as rants go, we've all had this one.
personal take on it is this: weigh up if it's worth missing the rest of the concert over. if it is, go in hard with NO warning and do a good job, then leave instantly. i guarantee no one who's had to put up with them will say anything.
i had decided last night that this would be my course of action if it escalated. The 'biggest' one of them was directly behind me, he was also the one that was giving most cheek. By 'biggest' i mean he was about 6'4" but about 10 stone and looked like Tom Green in a lumberjack shirt.personal take on it is this: weigh up if it's worth missing the rest of the concert over. if it is, go in hard with NO warning and do a good job, then leave instantly. i guarantee no one who's had to put up with them will say anything.
However, due to us being on the row infront, and his height and my lack of, his head was a good five feet higher than mine when we were stood up. However, I chose him as my 'target' if any physical abuse started.
I had weighed up that launching him over my head and down the rows was unfair on the people in front as they would be collateral damage, I needed a swift, contained resolution and therefore opted for my "Hard Rock" method once again. Only this time I would have clocked him square in the nuts rather than gone for the dead leg.
As I said though, luckily it didn't come to that and I got to see the concert to the end!
