To hate it when people do this at concerts

I went to a concert last week. I was lucky enough to be close to the front and was having a fab time. The only thing that ruined it was a woman in front of me who was filming the concert on her phone but who kept turning her phone round to film the crowd. Over and over again. I dont want to be filmed and see my sweaty face on some amateur YouTube video at some point. It just makes me feel self conscious. This happened last year too at another concert so it seems to be a bit of (a very annoying) thing.

Anyone else with me?

Yes I agree about people filming most of the concert. I take a few photos at the most because I have paid to see the concert.
I also hate primary age kids on the shoulders of their Mum's and Dad's. Cool parents forcing bored too young kids to be interested in their music and no one behind who actually is interested in watching the concert can see a fucking thing.

I was watching the lottery musicals programme on tv last night. Throughout, a small child with plaits could be seen outlined on someone’s shoulders. I was pissed off for the people behind even though I wasn’t there.

I hate this too.
They should ban phones from gigs as far as I'm concerned

I hate the groups of people who all hold hands and worm their way to the front. One person squeezing past ok but 20! That pisses me off.

Yes, this. And the fuckers who see what looks like a space in front of my DH, sidle their way down through the crowd, only to find me, fourteen inches shorter, standing in the 'space'. Then they decide to squeeze in right in front of me anyway.
I reserve curses for the shoulder-sitters too. I can forgive people, just about, for having the nerve to be taller than me. Provided they got there first. They didn't do all that growing on purpose. But no putting even more human up there. You bastards.
I love live music. But I always find something that hits my misanthropy button.
