Worst things about Glasto..?

[im stuck on a name]

setting up your tent in pitch black and ending up ripping the tent to shreds.

You people wonder why there's so many wind up posts on this forum, you're so easy to wind up!

Lighten up peeps

[GingerRock]

Tent thieves. That is all.

[cammie81]

That it's 69 days away.

people don't really spend an entire week walking round in a big field permanently smiling.

[BoEsEpH]

Nagging girlfriend - nothing to do with Glastonbury really, it just seems to bring it out in her more

[tommmy]

The unavoidable build up of knob cheese.

Or fishy fanny if you're a girl.

What cejx sums up most of my minor grumbles, I'm not some deluded fool who thinks everything and everyone at the place is amazing, but it IS the highlight of my year.

I'm not keen on people who barge through crowds with a scowl, I sort of shuffle through with a "scuse me, coming through, mind your backs, etc" and a smile and find that eye contact, a friendly/jokey comment makes travelling through a crowd a nicer experience for all parties.

I don't like the gas thing either, like the rubbish though, that seemed to be down from the insanity of '09 (where I twisted my ankle sliding on the buggers)

What Aragorn said about what general lee said

[redmosquito]

The sound of those gas canisters going off constantly in the stone circle

The monorail jokes

[spikytom]

spending £3 on an ice lolly that you don't really want but they've sold out of all the good ones.

Boil in the bag tent mornings.

Warm beer.

However, these are all hot weather related things, so i'm willing to endure them for another year!

[mrtourette]

All the incredible hype (mainly thnks to the BBC) and endless crap about the Glastonbury experience. That is partly why I don't go any more and why as a bitter and miserable thirty-something I prefer Reading.

But apart from that it's a lovely festival

people who don't use the bins or the toilets but mainly having to go home on Monday!!

[Poleski]

Having a hangover on the Saturday last year was the biggest mistake of my festival life. Spent half the day lying beside my tent, managed to muster up some strength for The Dead Weather, Shakira, Scissor Sisters and Muse though.

[Taikonaut]

The worst thing doesn't happen every year but it is of course...rain. For me there is nothing worse than not being able to sit down on the floor or walking through mud so deep that it tries to suck your wellies off and saps your energy. You can still have a great time at a wet one but when the sun is baking down everything is great and all the little annoyances bounce off you.

Waking up in a tent with a Clown with Stilts on fumbling with my bits.

That and I donlt like the rain

[PabloCoke]

Suicide Tuesday.

(Stolen from someone else, who said it last year)

Two worst things about Glastonbury:

1. The creeping middle-class invasion

2. The terrible quality of the the macchiato they sold me in West Holts.

[Helsbels]

The initial trip from the car to camping spot weighed down by a ton of stuff. Last year was the worst with the heat and the queue to get in.

[cham08]

Leaving.

Simples

[Liam13th]

The worst thing about Glasto..... threads like this.

[pie_and_a_pint]

The backache from carrying my kit in, walking miles and dancing like a loon and sleeping in a tent for five nights.

[General Lee]

I agree, although it's an amazing feeling once you get finally get to your camping spot and have your first drink of the festival
