People who push in at standing shows. Selfish, and it often leads to fights. Witnessed a very nasty incident at Hyde Park 2 in 2013. I was at the 1st of those 2 shows at Glasgow SECC in 2003, in the seats. I must say, it looked mighty rough in GA standing from where I sat!

I also had a guy behind me that kept asking for Start me Up. They already played it.

Hi Gregor,
I was GA at that 1st SECC show (my second Stones show and a stormer, hah-hah!) and it was a tad boisterous. One pint just missed MJ but unfortunately Darryl took a pint on his shoulder but he didn't let it faze him, thankfully. Man, that was £65 well spent!
Cheers,
Simon.

My least favorite person wasn't even on this list:
the middle aged women (or just women in general) who its either their birthday so they push their way up to the front or just assume because they are a woman they can barge their way up to the stage.
Not a sexist thing at all. Don't mean "all women" in that "women in general" comment. I just happen to see this more with women than men. Men are a whole different animal at concerts that have their issues. But every time I wait in line for a show, 30 minutes before the band gets on a group of women will push their way up till they are right at the stage. Like, I waited 4 hours for this spot, don't be an ass.

I'm a rather tall person. That means I'm always trying to be aware if I'm blocking someone's view. It also means that someone smaller than me (98% of the population) wants to pass, I let them pass. But what often happens is that people indicate they want to pass, so I do a step back, and then they stop and stand RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, basically stepping on my toes, forcing me to do another step back, and they don't even look back, say thanks, or make sure I'm okay with all that. For me, that's the #1 terrible thing people do at concerts.
The #2 is people who keep on talking with each other (or on their stupid phones) during songs. That can be even annoying during rock concerts, but when it's more gentle music (blues, flamenco, classical music) it's enraging.

I recently had talkers behind me at a Sigur Ros concert. Teenage girls half my age. I just told them to shut the @#$%& up. I was not nice at all throwing all curses that I know on them Other people applauded. The stronger the words the bigger the fun for me.
Anyway the girls left after 15 minutes after that because it was "too loud". Do that the next time, it's better than listening to someone talk. You'll feel more comfortable and other people will be happy too. Make it so strong that it's funny for other people around you

People who constantly yell the names of songs out just so they can prove they know them with no hope of the band actually playing them. Or just general shouting out song names between songs. Drives me crazy!
