To think that if this is a thing now, it's gross

DD went to a concert last night, or was it a gig? She came home saying that she was jumping straight into the shower as she was covered in urine. Apparently the male of the species had been urinating into bottles/cups then hurling the piss filled pots towards the stage, soaking those, like my dd, who had managed to get to the front.

Charming Hmm

Or am I just old?

That's so gross! I remember in my day people throwing bottles into the crowd which was dangerous and incredibly annoying but actually filled with piss? What the actual fuck?

It was Drake, and yes she was in the mosh pit.

Actually, I've just remembered that when I lived in London in the early 80s my male friends said that they would not take me to Twickenham until I learned to pee in a bottle. I presumed they did it because of all the beer consumption and they didn't want to miss a minute of the game, and that they took the bottles away to dispose of in the appropriate manner, it being rugby and all. At least I hope so.

I never did get to Twickenham.

Anyone remember L2 at Reading in the early 90s? The lead singer pulled out her tampon and threw it into the crowd.

Worst I ever saw was a young lad whose "mates" turned over the chemical toilet he was using and were rolling it down a hill.

Vile, filthy and probably dangerous given the toxicity of the toilet fluid and the bio hazards of the sewage.

LolaTheDarkdestroyer · 12/02/2017 10:55

That's fucking grim. Shocked it was drake as well! Didn't think he would attract a vile crowd like that. I really don't get the mentality of some people.

loobyloo1234 · 12/02/2017 11:03

I dont think this is just a thing now. This has been happening at gigs/festivals for at least 10 years (when I first started going to them)

When you have some liquid thrown, I just pray its cold now otherwise you just know Hmm

womanwithoutasong · 12/02/2017 11:11

The last big outdoor festival i went to was Pride at Leeds in the naughties and it put me off for life. The pissing, drunkenness, vomiting, shitting everywhere - not just the disgusting toilets - and the stinking rubbish strewn grass too was absolutely awful. As the sun went down i felt scared for my life.

EllenJanethickerknickers · 12/02/2017 11:15

I got showered in bottle thrown piss at Donnington in 1988. Gross then but somehow worse indoors.

Helbelle75 · 12/02/2017 11:16

I knew there was a reason I never wanted to go to festivals or big gigs. That is revolting! You don't get that are wet wet wet concerts. Yes I'm old and proud of It!

Twogoats · 12/02/2017 11:19

Blue played at my uni once but stormed off halfway through because of people throwing wee at them!

Cocolepew · 12/02/2017 11:19

Someone ejaculated over my lower back/bum at a Sisters of Mercy gig years ago.

Jaynesworld · 12/02/2017 11:20

Does this happen at bestival?? I was planning on going, but not if stuff like this happens Confused

QueenLaBeefah · 12/02/2017 11:21

Why did I click on this thread? Boak.

noblegiraffe · 12/02/2017 11:22

I've been to a lot of punk gigs and have seen beer thrown. I didn't think it might be piss. Perhaps it's better that I never considered the possibility! I used to come home soaked with sweat, showers were bliss.

There was a code back in the day, if someone fell over people would form a barrier until you were back on your feet.

BlahBlahBlahEtc · 12/02/2017 11:23

It's been going on since the 70's, it was punks then and slowly it's become more mainstream as a thing to do. It's always happened at gigs I go to (not punk) it's discusting but usual in most scenes away from pop

user1486897010 · 12/02/2017 11:25

This does happen a lot!! I went to a festival and i was in the crowd and felt my leg getting wet. I thought it was someone spilling a drink. I look behind and a guy had it out and was pissing on my leg!!! I couldnt believe it. He just laughed.
I got away from him as quick as i could. So gross.

Shockers · 12/02/2017 11:26

Flipping heck! I go to loads of festivals and have never had wee chucked at me!

I do go to the smaller, family friendly ones though.

I'd be livid! Envy

MrsGsnow18 · 12/02/2017 11:27

Unfortunately I've been pissed on by a drunk man at a concert before. No whizzing in a cup and hurling it though, he just stood behind me, whipped it out and pissed all over me Angry
I reported it to the bouncers etc who did nothing, even though technically I'm sure he could have been done for indecent exposure.
I left the concert early, I remember having to trudge home in my pissy smelling jeans Sad and when I got home I just threw them out!!

Babyiwantabump · 12/02/2017 11:30

Never happened at the take that concerts I've been to ...

burblish · 12/02/2017 11:34

I've been to Glastonbury loads of times and have never had/seen that happen - either I'm incredibly lucky or Glasto for some reason isn't as bad as other festivals and outdoor gigs?

user1486897010 · 12/02/2017 11:39

It happened to me at the reading festival. So a pretty big one! It ruined it for me tho. Such a pointless and stupid thing for a guy to do for a bit of a laugh but ruined my time. I got really upset. Mayb was stupid and i shuld of got over it but it was just the shock of a guy actuly just standing there peeing on me. Don't know why they think they can do it....

Autumnchill · 12/02/2017 11:42

Went to see Stone Roses last year but went and sat in the seats because the amount of 'fluid' being thrown was disgusting and I wasn't sitting in a car for 3hrs stinking of piss if that's what it was.

newfor2017 · 12/02/2017 11:49

Not a new thing. Happens at most festivals I think.

Vile.

loobyloo1234 · 12/02/2017 11:49

You've been lucky burblish as I go Glasto and have even seen girls going for a wee in the crowds (on the floor in front of me) aswell as being covered in wee. It really is grim but awfully I'm used to it now Confused

UntilTheCowsComeHome · 12/02/2017 11:50

Grin at there being a mosh pit at a Drake concert.

I'm feeling all nostalgic for the gigs of my youth now.

I remember the fun time of travelling home from Dudley drenched in Faygo with my hair stiff with the stuff thanks to the Insane Clown Posse. That was a great night. Grin
