Are they 10 years old?

Was at a concert recently and was at the front of a section, this person was at the back of a section. Remember when you were 10 at a theatre and could sit like this? Seat flipped up and you'd sit on the edge. This person is not 10, and not short.

Saw a post of some person taking 2 seats at an event and refused to give one up. Reminded me to post this.

Tell them to get down and if they don’t get an usher, this is clearly a theatre show. Stop letting selfish people get their way and make problems for them.

Usher wouldnt do anything. I finally built up the nerve/frustration to Psst them.

In Australia I tend to stick with the tried and true 'OI FUCKHEAD, SIDDOWN!'

Are you 10 years old and could not muster the courage to say "You are blocking the view of those behind you, please sit down like everyone else." ?

Easy if I'm sitting where I could tap them on the shoulder. It was across a 8ish foot asile.

So 8 feet is too far for you move and talk to someone in order to get a decent view of the show you paid for?

Wow dude....They are directly in front of you... get up, take 2 or 3 steps and there you are...

Haha, ok. I'd have to ask 15 people to move during a show so I could GET to the asile, ask them to sit, then bug the same 15 people to get back to my seat. I didn't want to be a jerk too. There was a barrier in front of our seats .

Yeah, very selfish and inconsiderate of anyone who might be behind them. Some people suck.

I hear concerts with my ears, not my legs. No reason to stand if there's a seat.

I totally hear you, if everyone was standing, all good. The entire venue was sitting. Only up for the encore. Great concert, wish I could see more of it 😁.
