but some of the people we were sitting by....
you guys, they were some of the most annoying people on planet earth.
now maybe in their day-to-day lives they aren't annoying at all but as fellow concert attendees...i wanted to punch them in the face.
let's start with the least offensive:
the 2 twenty-something girls sitting in the row in front of us. they mostly kept to themselves, knew approximately 4 imagine dragons songs and seemed to enjoy the show. totally acceptable. the annoying part: before the show they each got chicken strips and fries and one of the girls ate the chicken and then put her entire basket of fries under her chair and didn't eat any of them! she let those tasty fries go to waste, my friends. then she didn't even have the decency to throw them away when she left. ugh.
next up:
the guy to the left. he was clearly the dad of the three children sitting next to him. i don't think he had any fun at all. i'm guessing the mom was mad at the dad and sent him as a punishment because he looked like he would rather be cleaning the port-a-potty's than sitting (!!!) at the show. fun-killer.
we're getting to the worst:
man in the orange polo. he was sitting in the row front of us and off to the right a chair or two...he was in EVERYONES business. i think he thought he was being friendly but it was beyond friendly. it was pushy and busybody. not to mention he had a voice that carried and his world clearly revolved around him. thankfully he only chatted with us for a few seconds but in that time we found out that he didn't care about imagine dragons (he, too, was there with his kids), he was hot (as in physically warm), and then he mumbled something that i didn't catch so i just smiled at him. i'm hoping he didn't tell me that their family dog just died or some other tragedy.
this is it, kids:
the most annoying award go to the mother/daughters trio that were directly to my right.
oh.my.gosh.
1. they were redheaded and fair skinned. it was sunny (at first, the sun eventually went down during the show). you do the math on the whining about that particular subject.
2. the mom's arm was in a sling and made stupid comments about her kids not being old enough to go buy her a beer. she thought she was hilarious.
3. before the opening act you would have guessed that they were the biggest atmosphere (he's a local rapper) fans in the world. they ended up half-rapping a couple of the songs.
4. talking. there was SO MUCH talking coming from them. talking in between sets, totally fine. talking between songs, sure. talking during songs or when the band is talking, NOT OKAY. and they weren't talking about anything that pertained to the concert, they were talking about crap that they could have talked about in the comfort of their living room. if you're gonna have conversations about nothing, don't waste your time (or my patience) coming to the concert.
5. proving she knew the lyrics. instead of watching the band and singing along like everyone else in the crowd, the older sister sang all of the lyrics at her younger sister whenever she knew them. this wouldn't have been as terrible if i hadn't been directly next to the younger sibling. we were both being shouted at. it was terrible. shut it girl, i want to hear dan reynolds, not you.
6. freebird. yes, these were the people that yelled freebird. i wish i was kidding.
so if you ever find yourself next to me at a concert it would be in your best interest to avoid doing all of these things because at some point my minnesota nice is going to run out.
