Reddit rage about trolleys

[Glast0baby]

No idea if this is an appropriate post.  Please do remove if not.  Just thought others might be interested to see the rapidly degenerating pinned post on reddit for "Newbie Tips". The mod does not like trolleys and is not afraid to try to force his opinion on others.  Threatening to report people to their employers and all sorts!  It really makes me appreciate this forum! 😁 Thanks guys for being sane and open to contrary opinions!

Nb.  Realised the embedded link doesn't show the comment and is huge.  Soz.  You'll have to follow the link to see the comment section which is the subject of my post.

Firstly if you need a Wheelbarrow to bring your shit in you have brought to much stuff.

[Alvoram]

To be fair the terms of entry are as much as you can carry aren't they? 

[LoraMaze]

I’m bringing two trolleys, he wouldn’t fucking like that would he!! 🤣

[paulshane]

heh, just checked the post and thats the clown that says that wheelbarrows are not suitable for uneven ground.

Being in a mad Wednesday morning queue with people attempting to move trollies which are unmanageable is annoying tbf. Don't mind the small nimble ones. 

I'd ban them from entry until after a certain times Wednesday afternoon when things have died down.

Reddit is just full of middle-wits arguing with half-wits. 

There's a bunch of posts that are just 'i've heard a rumor green day are healining????'

Or 'how likely are arctic monkeys' despite the fact they're not even touring.

Yup. People dont give a shit though.

As a general rule, we would ask you to only bring as much as you can carry yourself.

could say the same about everyone in the Weather Thread 🤣

This guy hasn’t a clue. I use a Quechua pop up and it certainly does “cut it”.

Oh I know they don't

To be honest, neither do I 🤷‍♂️ I'd take a trolley if I was walking far. 

Doesn't affect me what anybody else does. I hope that they're responsible with any potential waste and ensure it gets to the recycling. Other than that I can't see why it bothers anyone. 

I was just playing devil's advocate, and having read the comments and seen what a c**t of the highest order he is, I wish I hadn't bothered.

I'm taking a trolley, and he can tell me employer if he really wants 🙄

Wait til you read glasto chat!

 

p.s - you're not Alex DeLarge off of 2600 are you?!

Never trust the words of anyone who consistently types "loose" when they mean "lose".

To be fair we use a garden trolley and it means we have everything we need for two people in one trip, while carrying nothing on our backs

Doubles up as a handy seat outside the tent as well. Makes the Wednesday morning queues a breeze. 

[Smeble]

No worse than people who think flags or chairs should be banned. Some people just want everything they don’t like to be banned. Just the tolerant society we live in.🙄🙄

 

[Tranquility of Solitude]

Don’t take a trolley myself, but what really made me chuckle about this was the threat to “Tell your employer”?!?!
Trying to imagine that phone call....l

”Are you aware that your employee xxxxxx takes a trolley to the Glastonbury Festival”?

”Good grief! Thanks for bringing that to our attention. We don’t want those sorts working for us, we will deal with that straight away!”

[dotdash79]

We're taking a trolley, I have a hernia and waiting for an operation, but even if I wasn't then I still would.

First trip it's going to have tent, ground sheet, 2 chairs and a couple of beers, and that's it.

[clarkete]

I'm assuming you've all piled in to share pictures of your overloaded trolleys? 

[kagey]

My employer helped pimp out my trolley and trick out its suspension
and we have 2 other stealth killer nimble trolleys, and if you think you can walk as fast mine, good luck on ya you won't make the distance 🤣

[Fieldrunner]

In my experience, the biggest problem is there are a lot of people that use trolleys that are clearly not fit for purpose so almost immediately break.  If you've got one that will last the distance, have at it I say. 

Just don't expect a cheap folding aluminium trolley with tiny wheels off Amazon loaded with 5 crates of beer to last more than half a trip in.

I’m sensing a challenge.
 

Not for this year, I’m on the coach but I’m up for a loaded trolley race for a future festival. 

[kagey]

Game on, Trolley Olympics in the queue 😂

[Glast0baby]

I just have visions of the guy shaking his fist as trolleys pass him by.  Maybe going as far as to do the British tut under his breath!  I'm hoping he doesn't explode in rage at any innocent trolley-pullers at the fest, they'd be some bemused 🤣
