Kids, Music and Love: Noise annoys

Noise annoys

Today, I went to a Jack's Mannequin concert. I'd asked this girl I'm interested in to come with me, and she insisted that she had to bring her two year-old son with us. I'd told her it was no problem. Ten minutes into it, she said we needed to leave because it was too loud for him. FML

Today, I was at a metal concert and I met a really cute girl. We got talking, and started getting close. We were about to kiss during the transitional period between 2 bands, but I was then pulled away by her father, who owned the venue. I was thrown out. Before the main act. FML

Nervous laughter

Today, I went to my kid's band concert. She's 12 and in the advanced team. They were the first ones to play and they were so incredibly bad that I laughed. Really, really loud. I was escorted out of the recital. FML

Today, I went to a concert. One of my favorite bands was performing, and I'd had the ticket for seven months, with a great seat for the show. It was all going perfectly, that is until a guy twice my height sat in front of me. FML

Today, it was the concert of my life. I had bought tickets the minute they went on sale, and I'd anxiously waited until the concert date. Thirty minutes before the show, my friend got so drunk that we weren't allowed in, and I was stuck babysitting her all night in the hotel, completely missing the show. FML

Today, I went to a concert with my girlfriend. Turns out that bouncers don't think it's a problem for girls to go up on stage and make out with the musicians. FML

Today, I went to see my favorite band in concert. Not only did the people next to me have a loud conversation through the entire set, the guy behind me repeatedly tried to lecture me for head-butting him. Given he was a foot taller than me, I'm not even sure how that was possible. FML

Today, I was going to meet my friend at a concert. I got there before her, so I went in to check out the local bands that were playing before the headliner. When she got there, I went just outside the building to give her a ticket. The security guards wouldn't let me back in. She went in anyway. FML

Today, I finally got to attend the concert I have been anticipating for weeks. The band was great. The drunk guy sitting behind me yelling profanity and out of tune lyrics in my ear throughout the entire show, however, was not. FML

Today, I went to Britney's concert. About halfway through the show, the person next to me turns to me and asks, "Can you do me a favour?" Thinking that she wanted me to look after her stuff, I said sure. Her next sentence was: "Can you stop singing?" FML

Today, I took a girl I like to the movies. Everything went great until I went in to kiss her. She didn't object, but my mother, who apparently followed me to the theater and was now pulling me away by my shirt while saying, "We're leaving!" certainly did. FML

Bringing a two-year-old on what you wanted to be a date? You set yourself up for that one.

I hope you didn't leave. She most likely was just testing you to see if you left on her command. I understand your kids being a huge part of your life but rather then accept she could of said I'd love to but how about we meet up after the concert since I'd rather not get a baby sitter to go and it's no place for him to be.

YDI for confusing a Jack Mannequin concert with Disney on Ice. I don't even know who this Jack guy is but I know it's no place for a baby.

I've never been to a Jack's Mannequin show, but with a basic knowledge of music, I know they're one of the loudest bands out there... Just like I know I shouldn't take my grandma to a Wu Tang show... If you're going to take a three year old to a concert, JM is about the WORST

I've seen JM multiple times and they are LOUD. So loud I couldn't hear the people next to me and we were screaming at each other. The girl should never have taken her kid, even if it wasn't a "traditional" date.

OK, Jack's Mannequin may turn it up to 11, but you can't possibly say that it's "the WORST" when it comes to exposing a child to something. I mean, have you ever seen a metal band? Gigantic sweaty dudes with long sweaty hair and tons of metal accessories pummeling into each other as speakers get blown with guttural screams? I haven't seen JM, so I can't speak from experience, but I've seen Something Corporate more than once, I've seen a member of Wu Tang (Ghostface Killah, to be exact), and I've seen several metal bands (Mastodon, Dethklok, Baroness, etc). I'd say Andrew McMahon's incarnations are on the tamer side in the concert-loudness continuum.

She is obviously unclear on the concept of concerts. Concerts are meant to be loud. She should have brought earplugs or earmuffs for herself and the little ankle biter. As for you, you clearly deserved this one. This is what you can expect if you marry her.
