3. The Selfie (Obsessed)
Facebook is a wonderful thing. I mean, how else am I supposed to know what my long-lost pal Kevin from Mrs. Montgomery's second grade class thinks of Obamacare? More importantly, perhaps, where else is everyone supposed to see what this person looks like mugging with their arm around the besties at the Lumineers show -- I mean, of course, besides those of those of us who were privileged enough to be on hand to see them snap those adorable selfies. Sure, everyone in the place was momentarily blinded by the not-at-all intrusive flash on their iPhone, but it was so totally worth it. I mean, like, these moments just don't last, you know. You've gotta capture them when you can.

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.
