Rave Annoyances

poi goes without saying.

Spoilsport.

At crowded events, obviously spinning poi is a bit of a drag because it takes up so much room, but in any reasonably spacious party space, you're just being a douche if you get pissed at poi spinners.
 
i HATE gays at raves.

not because i don't like gays or whatever.

but everytime they're at a rave they are all over eachother making sure everyone at the event there knows those two are fucking tonight.
Hahaha reminds me of when i was at a rave and one of my friends was rolling hard and some french gay guy started chatting him up but my mate was gone so didn't realise what was happening. The french guy then proceeded to shout 'ketaminee turboooo' in a strong french accent and shuved a key at his nose lol.
=D
 
Overly-invasive light shows.

I had some guy give me an awesome light show for a good 5 minutes once, but it quickly went south when he decided to grab both sides of my head and shake me like a fucking busted pinata with his vibrating gloves on. At first it was kind of cool, but then he got too aggressive with it and it went on for way too long.
 
Im guessing the whole light show business is assoicated with trance music and the USA? Although I did used to be a big trance fan in my younger years I moved on swiftly to techno and tech house, and in the past 3 years I have never ever seen a light show, a whistle or a massage contraption in a club ever.

Also at the person saying they go to a club in bare feet are you crazy?? when I look at the club floor all I see is spilt drinks, sometimes a smashed bottle fiflty shoe water etc lol.

Although the best invention i ever bought was a little LED torch on my key ring, the amount of times id had a little look around on the floor finding that lost pill, or on most occasions finding other peoples drugs, always find the odd gram or something like that lol

must invest in keychain light
 
^ lol. mattnotrik, I think most of these posters are referring to bigger rave events rather than a club.
 
as some one who gives light shows, i completely understand when the person doesn't stop/goes on too long. i generally go 1-3 mins max and if they want a longer one ill do it but yeah, i can see how it gets annoying if the moves get repetitive and go on too long.

what i find annoying is when random people will randomly jump in your face or sneak up behind you and try some of their weird rave tricks.
ex. i never had experienced vicks in the eyes, and this guy runs up and starts yelling some shit. The music was wayy too loud for me to hear him, so i ignored him but then he proceeded to grab my chin then blow vicks in my eyes, and i thought this mother fucker was trying to pepper spray me. I kind of shoved him away hella hard then apologized later, but that shit still sucked.
also, when random people start massaging you. Its okay if youre a fine ass girl but if youre a dude...plz lay off.
 
I thought of another thing, along the lines of boundaries- Kissing strangers. My friends and I tend to get very affectionate while rolling, which is fine, but we're not really ones for making out with random people either. Still, after getting a good light show from someone and them asking for a kiss in return, that's no problem. A peck is fine. But my friend was approached by some guy one night that explained that this was his friend's first rave and he'd like a "rave kiss" from her. She thought this just meant a peck, w/e, so she said yes. He proceeded to pretty much rape her mouth with his face until she pushed him away. Not cool.

And I've had other people get too handsy with me at raves. If you want to give me a hug, that's cool. I'll even let you touch my boobs if you seem nice. But don't take that as an invitation to reach down my shirt unless you want to get slapped.
 
^ It's probably because I'm a big ugly dude but I've never heard of any of that. I won't even share my water bottle. lol

Seconded.

Just imagining that.. hahahaha! =D=D=D
Thats fucking hilarious!
That shit would suck though.

I had guy give me a lightshow and he had his hands together in front of my face them spread them apart and put his head where is hands were.. Well he ended up giving me one hell of a headbutt straight to the forehead.. I was done after that and just walked away. =D

i'm sure they're not making sure everyone knows they're fucking, maybe it just comes across that way to you because it's uncommon. I'm bi, and i dance with guys just the same way as i do with girls and just the same way everyone else is....if there's an attraction, there's gonna be some grindin' and rubbing no matter what your sexual orientation is.


oh, and intolerance is something that annoys me at raves....raves are about PLUR!

Well said, TBH I think its a bit out of order to say you HATE GAYS at raves - hating on somebody just because they are gay is simply WRONG. If you dont like to see two guys or gals getting it on then look away.
 
1. Kandy/candy. You look like a dumbass. Stop. Also goes for guys wearing tutus with pants. Wtf are you thinking?

2. People that will be in your face with glowsticks. Some promoters have areas designated for people who like spinning glowing stuff, and that will usually make it better for the rest of us who came to dance. But don't come up to me and try to show off those amazing skillz. I don't want a light show. Fuck.

About sober people who look at you weird when you're rolling, that's probably because you look stupid. I know since I e-tard out when I roll, but I'm feeling too amazing to care about what people think.

PLUR? That to me is part of the rave scene when people do that ..maybe thats just me
 
Random people asking for my water. It's my water, it was expensive as shit, and I didn't pay 3 bucks to get sick, go buy your own.

People walking into me while I'm dancing.

The whole hand-train of people shoving their way through the crowd. I don't mind letting a person or two by, I've done this a few times with my girlfriend and a friend or two, but when I let someone by and resume my position only to be blocked a series of 10 assholes who look like they don't know right from left I start to get a little annoyed.

People asking for pills. I actually don't mind this, and am very generous...if I'm rolling. The problem is this happens to me wherever I go and am dancing. I'm dancing, don't stop me to ask if I'm gonna get you high.

The belligerently drunk people in the line to get in. Not always, but usually obnoxious.

The mass amounts of people promoting future raves when you're walking to the car like a pack of starving wolves. These are the people who will grow up to be paparazzi. Alright cool, so you're gonna get hooked up for promoting for them or whatever. But trust me, when I want to get some flyers for future events, I'll walk up to you, I actually like to sometimes. But when you see me and my girlfriend in deep conversation with tears streaming down our faces, get the FUCK out of my way. Do not tell me "You want to go to THIS event." or scream the events name in my face. Seriously, back the fuck off and stop putting that shit all over my car!!!!!!
 
Great thread; I really had no idea how much hating goes on as far as how people dress or dance. And didn't realize how rude, obnoxious, and annoying people could get.

I always felt like I was missing out, but now I'll appreciate just rolling at home naked with the wifey even more!
 
OMG Really?......It's been so long. I haven't raved in years and I haven't been to a KICK ASS rave since the 90's. Actually I went to a cool one in Dallas in 2006. The thing that annoyed me the most was all the drunk people being disrespectfull and eventually the cops got called problobly because of them. The scene has changed. However if i catch wind that a cool party(rave) is goin down in my area I'm there. I might feel like an old fucker thou. YIKES. I'm not even 30 yet
 
Don't let this give you the idea that raves are all drama and bad vibes. Even great things have small annoyances. Driving a car, swimming in the ocean, etc.... :)
