10 Types Of Fan Every Concert-Goer Knows (And Hates)

2. Crowd Surfers

I honestly don't think this one needs much explaining, as I'm pretty sure I don't know a single person who actually enjoys the very existence of crowd surfing. There is no way it is possible for anyone to be even slightly amused by having to be constantly on edge in preparation for having to catch and launch an airborne troglodyte in fear of being landed on by that very same troglodyte. They're everywhere at festivals, and are not only irritating for those unfortunate to have a drunken flailing-footed idiot land on their head, but they also have a detrimental effect on the very friendliness of the crowd they're sailing over. Naturally, the crowd tends to turn on these people, landing cheap kidney shots on anyone who passes above them, or, in a much less hilarious light, a cheeky grope on the lades overhead; but in instances when the person being carried is injured and merely being helped to medical care, the venomous hate we feel toward surfers has meant these people are being endangered more by being lofted into the air. The again, if they hurt themselves crowd surfing in the first place, they more than deserve a few cheap shots and potential thieving of keys.
