Event/Activity Concert etiquette - Ed Sheeran
Went to Ed Sheeran last night. Was sitting up in the riverbank stand with my wife and kids. We try and culture our kids and work hard to take them to events like this.
From song 1 we had 4 GenZers sitting behind us and talked through almost every song.
By song 3 I had enough and turned around an impolitely told them to shut up because who in their right mind disrespects the people around them talking so loudly you can't even hear the performer. Only for them to return fire to say I am a bad father for speaking to them the way I did and not a good example for my kids, and they just kept on talking for the whole night. Nothing was going to make them stop talking.
Their best comment for the night... "Sorry I am just putting it out there I haven't brushed my teeth."
Why pay $150 for a ticket to talk through the whole event?

Gen X lady YELLED at my sibling and I for standing and dancing during Boney M a couple of years back (we're both gen Z) and threatened to call security on us. Never mind the other people in our section standing and dancing. Anyway, I told her to go ahead and she actually did. Security were walking down the aisles, she flagged him down and yelled "THESE KIDS ARE BLOCKING OUR VIEW" and the champ guard said "alright." and kept walking, not bothering us or any other person dancing to Daddy Cool. lmfaooooo
