So, I saw this (see photo in post) and wondered what's the worst thing people on here have seen at Glastonbury?

Can’t see the picture sorry yog

Theres just one slight issue here Yog .... the photo isnt showing ...

I think that the worst I’ve seen was 2005 when the long drops at the bottom of Cockmill overflowed in the storm and anyone camped down hill of them had a river of sh*t and paper running through their tents

Toilets at the top of Dairy in 2011 on the Saturday morning.  Turds piled up about 2 feet over the seat in a cone shape, toilet roll sticking out hither and thither and a can of stella planted on top.  It was like the world's worst christmas tree.

Came back to my tent 2009 and saw my brother taking a bag sh*t right next to the food I’d brought. I called him a c**t and went to sleep

Sorry about that folks. I am not, and never will be, a man known for his IT wizardry. Does this work?

Hello Crazy - can you see the second attempt at posting the photo?

In my one and only Glastonbury this year, I can't say I saw anything too disturbing. I bet it's a lot more sterilized now than past years.

A dead half burnt dog in a fire pit, in a security compound (if I remember correctly). 
 

Two blood filled uncapped syringes stuffed inside an opal fruits packet in the middle of an otherwise empty field.

 

Both during the cleanup in the mid 90’s

Apologies for being pedantic but Sheeran has two e’s! And you need to double drop them to listen to him😉

Similar, but mine was Sunday night of 2009 in the Turdis Village at the back of Oxlyers near Other/Railway track.  Opened the door to be confronted by a mountain of sh*t a good 6 inches above the rim, with the imprint of someone's buttocks in the top.  Then hit by the smell.  How I didn't vomit I've no idea.

 

I mean, whoever saw that and thought "I can sit another one on top" before falling/sitting on a pile of other peoples sh*t surely must have immediately committed suicide.

Festival just ain't what it used to be, eh?

Worst thing I've seen there was a man being carried/dragged on either side by friends (presumably to get help) - he had a bald head and had a hole in the side oozing blood. He was deathly pale and honestly looked pretty much dead. Wasn't pleasant. This was the last festival before the superfence was installed. I actually vowed never to go again after that year. Went last minute the following time and haven't missed one since!

f**k.  That's sobering.

 

Saw someone having a bad trip once on the SE corner who started flailing around and hurt themselves.  What looked like a badly broken arm.  Had to be restrained for his own safety and screamed like I've never heard.

Slightly offtopic, but i've worked in Psychiatry for sixteen years- in an acute admissions ward - and have had hundreds of dealings with people with drug-induced psychosis - a bad trip, essentially - and i'm quite desensitised to that kind of screaming these days, its unfortunately a fairly regular sound. Can definitely see how it'd be a horrible thing to hear out of the blue, while at your favourite place, surrounded by nothing but loveliness on the whole. Restraining a broken arm is a right bugger as well.

The worst thing i've seen at a festival would be a fella on presumably Ketamin, who decided to sit in a lit fire pit. his mates and me grabbed him by the arms and dragged him out in a matter of seconds, and his boardies had started to melt and attach themselves to his skin - FMS rocked up and took him off, but that didnt look like a lot of fun at all.

 

Might run through the worst thing i;ve seen on a psych ward later, but it does need a cast-iron stomach 😄

Wasn't Glastonbury, but I will tell this story anyway as this is without a doubt the worst thing I have ever seen at a festival. Actually, it's the worst thing I have ever seen anywhere. 

 

Reading Festival (around 2000 or 2001). I walked around a corner to see that a Portaloo had been pushed over onto its front. A few kids were running around laughing, and a crowd was starting to gather. Then I heard screams coming from inside.  Security were there very quickly, and they began to lift the Portaloo back upright. As they lifted it, the door opened, and what spilled out has been forever burned into my mind. Some poor guy rolled out, followed by an unspeakable runny mess. It was truly awful. The guy jumped up screaming, but he was covered from head to toe, and it was pouring off him. The smell was horrendous. No one wanted to go anywhere near him, so he just staggered around, screaming. Eventually, an ambulance showed up and took him away. I still think about this all the time. It really affected me. 

 

Since that incident I have never seen a toilet at a festival that wasn't stood up against a wall or fence. They never used to be. They would be dotted around all over the place. I think there must have been a meeting or something.

Would advise against watching the portaloo bungee slingshot in Jackass 3D.

My assumption is no announcement until the first poster comes.
