4. The Director
Next to The Talker, this person is perhaps the most baffling of the bunch. They go to the effort of coming out to a concert, right? Presumably it's for the live experience, you know, so they can see their favorite band in the flesh and all, but then they spend the bulk of their time watching the show through the display on their phone, like they're watching TV! Worse, they shoot the show (or film it, as the case may be) -- the whole damn thing -- like they're being paid. Evidently, memories just aren't enough these days. Fact is, they're not being paid. We've seen their photos and they're shit. Worse, the videos. Oh, man, the videos, and don't even get us started on the crackling audio. Tell me I'm wrong -- surely you've seen their handiwork on Facebook and YouTube.

The most egregious setlist advisor I've ever seen was at a Nada Surf/ Impossibles show at the Creepy Crawl. This idiot kept screaming, "POPULAR!" He continued this after Nada Surf had finished their set and the Impossibles had taken the stage. At the end of an Impossibles' song, it all became too much. Gabe, one of the lead singers, reached out from stage and slapped the kid square in the face. The good guys won that night.

11. the girl who worms her way all the up to the front, only to whine about people invading her personal space, prompting the chivalrous male accompanying her to protect the delicate flower by forming an unshakeable and sneering fortress around her, smack in the middle of an otherwise lively crowd.

You almost got it right with the Sun Blocking Giant. It's similar to the chicks who sit on their bf's shoulders the entire concert - right in front of me.

I'm that asshole who came to see the show and doesn't want to be distracted by the dickbags around me.

#11 The Critic: He feels superior to all the other concert attendees because he writes for the weekly birdcage liner.
