Concert last night (£55each for me and dh), booked swanky hotel for cheeky night away also ! Booked standing tickets - fine- am just about young enough to stand for hours and move about to avoid tall people /bobbing heads /fellow boogiers (if that's a word?) waited 2 hours for act to show (also fine - adds to the excitement!) ate Mars bar and sipped coke (didn't wanna risk loo break and lose hot spot near the front)! Group of early 20's next to us (also fine have kids in same age group) - who proceeded to drink solid for the 2hours - prob 6 pints each - took turns to go bar and save hot spot - still fine - until Mr Red Top decided to wait until act started and chat to his friends! Loudly! About owt and nowt up really. Got very distracting and a muscley dude asked him to stop bumping into him (hopping about - prob needed a wee!) then his chat turned to talking about his loo habits and how he wipes his bum!! My BP started rising so I told him to basically shut the feck up! Said he didn't know if he could so I said well can u really really try?! He was drunk and the group had earlier talked about pretending to be disabled to sneak to the front and how they should have brought pills to get the party started!! My dh told him he was a total prick and he shut up then!! We moved along to the other side of muscley dude but felt bad as we ob juggled past /in front of other 's who were trying to enjoy the act!! Didn't see any security near us - even when he was throwing his empty plastic cups behind him and they landed on people! Didn't really spoil the night but is it acceptable to act like a hooligan at a concert or did he think it was normal behaviour? His friends looked embarrassed and stood between him and muscley dude to avoid further trouble! Was quietly hoping he would give him a shove back!!
Vent over!! Do we put up with crap in society because we are too polite or was I being unreasonable to tell him to shut up?
