To think if you are an adult with a huge head

As a short person, I can rarely see the stage when I go to a gig. I would prefer it if the taller people stood further back but as that isn’t reasonable or workable, I have to just listen to my favourite bands rather than actually look at them. Likewise at the theatre, I get backache from leaning to one side so I can see past the person in front.

I do have quite a bit noggin myself though so maybe I don’t get to have an opinion on this 😂

I came on here expecting advice on where to buy suitable hats/ headbands, as I think I have a big head.
DM says that I haven’t and I’m beautiful, but she’s hardly impartial.
Any headwear that claims “ one size fits all “ does not fit me.

I inadvertently picked YABU
when obviously YANBU

What about women with huge hair styles.

i am constantly plagued at gigs by a basketball team who always show up just as the band comes on stage - and stand in front of me.

When i rule the world, gigs will be admission by height order only with us shortarses at the front.

It sounds like the design of theaters should be more audience friendly

All the poor people with giant heads are now having to come on here and defend themselves🤣 Seriously, it must be a right pain in the ass for taller people and people with bigger heads to have to spend their time angsting about where to sit in the theatre. Why should they always sit in the duff seats just because of their stature? DP’s friend is 6ft 5” and a really lovely and considerate bloke who spends an inordinate amount of time worrying over whether he’s inconveniencing other people. It’s crap.

You need radical acceptance of big headed community

How big is huge. My riding hats are 7 and 3/8ths which is equivalent to 58cm in circumference. I’ve been told that’s bigger than average but I’m only 5’5”. Hair can get bigger if damp in the rain though.

Maybe there should be a tiny pea head discount. Speaking as a tiny pea head so have vested interest.

A man at my daughter's dance recital was wearing a Stetson (we're in Canada, but absolutely not normal attire on the east coast). That seemed unnecessarily inconsiderate for people behind him. As people can't do anything about their actual heads, and presumably paid for their seats, it seems like just one of those vague annoyances of life that happen.

I’m short. The beauty of that is that I can sit in the cheapest seats on the theatre and still feel comfortable.

If I was tall I personally wouldn’t book the front row for anything unless I had hearing/ eyesight issues but I suppose you don’t know if they have any of those things.

I wouldn’t book myself the seats with extra legroom on a flight as it’s clearly unnecessary for me! But I could do if I wanted to and no one could stop me. Same with the theatre tickets. It is a bit selfish if they don’t have any other issues but people are allowed to be selfish.

Front row seats are usually cheaper - the ones a few rules back cost way more!!!

Should they get a discount on the expensive seats for having a big head?

Is this another example of people without children being expected to make sacrifices for those with children... people continue to say it doesn't happen but here is a perfect example. How do you know they didn't have a family member performing in the show, how do you know they didn't have a disability and might have needed the front row with extra space, visually impaired? There are many reasons why they could have sat there, including whether you like it or not, they just wanted to.

Yes, that enrages me. Or wearing a hat, a woman sat in front of me recently wearing a pointy bobble hat. Grrr.

They bought tickets, they can sit wherever they want. Matinee or not.

my husband is very tall and people are always tutting at him in theatres/cinemas/concerts. He’s given up caring. He’s paid for a ticket, he’s entitled to be there and not to have to sit at the back. He does have a t-shirt that says “Yes, I’m tall” on it which is quite useful.

Ooh, thanks, I'll have a look at them.

Indeed. I asked politely to stand in front of a 6'4" man the other day and he was really arsey with me. Also at gigs, tall people need to appreciate that their elbows collide with shorter people's faces if they start moshing. I thought I was standing sufficiently far away from mosh pit at a recent gig (and usually for the venue and the band I would have been) but a guy behind me started flailing about (no one else in our section was) and I ended up with a bruised cheek bone and a nasty cut on my shin. Get to the mosh pit, you git!

a lot of pumpkin patches have the sizers left over from seasonal demand..:
yqbvu OP sorry. Who even knows they have a big head?! Theatre etc is one man for themselves !

I have a huge bonce and no way of knowing who will be sitting behind me.
On another note, there was a woman in a massive feathered hat at the Metropolitan Opera on one occasion when I went. Fortunately I wasn’t anywhere near her.

I only book front row tickets. If I can’t get front row then I generally don’t bother to get tickets.

The thought of a big headed person, or a tall person or a child (ugh) in front of me would annoy me. Apple Watches annoy me a lot too. People are either selfish or stupid if they think that their watches constantly lighting up isn’t going to annoy people. One of my kids is 6’3 and if we are seeing something he wants to see then he sits in the front row too.
I can’t think we see anything that kids would like though.

My husband has just suggested a cage similar to the ones airlines use for hand luggage. 😊

ETA I see someone beat him to it!

Thanks OP, I've had a rubbish morning but this made me laugh! 😄

The same argument could be made that those who are vertically challenged or lacking in cranial volume should book the front rows to ensure they can see.

When we went to see the Lion King stage show a few years ago the woman sitting in front of us had piled her hair all on top of her head in a massive bun. I did think that was a bit selfish, given that she knew people were going to be sitting behind her and her hair was blocking part of the view.
