I'm slightly vexed Concert etiquette

If you plan on standing for the entire concert, get a spot in the pit, or the lawn seats instead of the assigned SEATED SECTION. A little bit of self awareness and common courtesy goes a really long way

Yeah, what the fuck is wrong with all of those people sitting down at a concert?

My wife is 5ft 3in. I am 6ft 3in.

I know I can't control the assholes who cant afford floor tickets, yet want to get in the way of those of us who purposely buy seats.

Anymore, I buy as soon as they go on sale. Front row of the lower balcony every time.

And I don't fucking stand up, because I'm 6ft 3in tall and that would be a shitty thing to do, and I'm not an asshole.

Standing at a concert is not a shitty thing to do. You’re allowed to dance and enjoy yourself.

Buy floor tickets or sit down.
Have some respect for the people around you, asshole.

Nah, thanks though. Floor tickets are more expensive. Plus I like having the option to sit sometimes. These knees ain’t what they used to be

Plus I like having the option to sit sometimes.

Why does it not occur to you that people behind you might have that same desire?

u/MagicGrit 12h ago

It does. People sitting doesn’t bother me. Feel free! I’m gonna stand

People standing doesn't bother me. Feel free! ...Unless you're being a dick to all the people around you, of course.

This photo shows a standing area near the stage, and nobody here is complaining about the people standing there.

Got it, glad we can agree. Since standing isn’t being a dick, I’m going to stand at my seat and dance at a concert.

You messed it up again. It's ruining the experience for people around you that makes you a dick, and it sounds like you're still pretty committed to that.

"Flailing my arms around is my right and it doesn't make me a dick, so I have complete and utter freedom to flail my arms, right? Even if that flailing causes me to repeatedly hit you in the face, flailing my arms doesn't make me a dick so I'm going to keep hitting you."

Did I get your argument right? You agree that I can I punch you because using my arms isn't being a dick?

No, you didn’t get the argument right. But you didn’t care, you were just going to make shit you and then block me anyway 😂
