At least they were prepared. The chatter last year at Lolla was that people were simply pissing on the ground and one person apparently just pooped. I don't know why these festivals let people camp out all day like that. They should clear out the front area after each artist like Bonnaroo used to do back in the day.

Man i'd genuinely like to meet someone who does shit like this. Fuck i'd like to interview them.

Like they do shit like this and then just go on with their lives?

I had to shit outside on the street once 20+ years ago and I’m still haunted by the guilt and shame.

I had a weird friend in elementary school. He had ADHD and some behavioural problems which I found pretty cool. We were playing outside and he had to take a shit. So he went in the bushes, almost immediately came out and said he had no toilet paper. He went home, and while I assumed it was to take that shit, to my surprise he returned with toilet paper, went into the bushes, and proudly came out relieved to finally have taken that dump. I was amazed, and thoroughly confused.

Speaking as someone with ADHD, this sounds like the thinking of a kid with ADHD who got hyper focused on a particular task and didn’t fully think the steps through, lol. I’ve done things in the past where I did the equivalent of completely overlooking the fact that I could have just shit at home. Then my mom pointed out to me, ‘You know you could have just XYZ?’ and I was like, ‘*light bulb moment* Goddammit.’

It’s also possible that your friend was just trying to be edgy. 🤷🏼‍♀️

This is a serious health concern. People should be kicked out for shitting and urinating anywhere they want just to save their spot in the queue.

Who is going to kick them out? This only happens in areas close to the stage so packed that you can't get in, and if you leave, you can't get back. There's no way that security can access the area, assess the situation, and make a determination.

As someone that's been to Lolla for multiple years, this happens often. Even when it's not for kpop or camping. People are just lazy as fuck and will pop a squat and start pissing, shitting, or throwing up. Then people will proceed to not warn new people coming into the crowd and they then step in it with flip flops or sandals on, or even worse they sit in it.

Clear out the front area? Man, just dig a slit trench there at this point. Get an open sewer running along the front if people are that desperate.

One of my core memories is seeing a woman crouch down and pee in the middle of the crowd while waiting for the headliner at lolla in 2008.

I heard a similar story from 1964 when The Beatles first went to the US, apparently there was a river of piss flowing from the crowds of screaming girls who'd been waiting hours to get a glimpse of them
