What do people say to you....

[jenw]

"hope you've got your wellies"

"so who is playing this year" normally followed by a disbelieving tone of "you don't like Mumford?" when I have told them the headliners and said I'm not seeing any!

Oh and my Director at work when told yesterday I was going to Glastonbury "no drugs!" Damn!!!

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Everybody I know knows already that I do Glastonbury. Most of them go too anyway.

[RandomBunny]

Usually they ask about the line-up, then get confused because they can't understand why I'm not really that fussed about who's playing.

[klb]

most people I know just say that their really jealous and wish they were going

[HandFedFred]

1. Weather

2. Who's playing?

3. Toilets

[Mr.Tease]

"I hope you have a really good time"

"I hope the weathers really good for you"

I like the people I work with!

[Facetiousbob]

I hate the way it's assumed that ill be stoned all week. Just because I'm going to Glasto why assume I'm going to be smoking weed???

I will be, but that's not the point.

[4AssedMonkey]

The people I like seem to get it, are interested and ask good questions.

The people I like less ALWAYS ask if I'm excited about the Sat headliner (as it's probably the only act they know who is playing) to which I usually say "I won't be watching them" as I rarely do. I then get "what else is there to do?", at which point I usually walk away.

"It'll piss it down, the toilets are filthy, The Rolling Stones are really really old and I don't know any of their songs, you'll get your tent robbed, you'll stink, you'll get AIDS, you'll get stabbed, £200 is a rip off, you could have gone to Malia with the rest of us mindless cretins for that money" is a verbatim quote of what most people say. If not that then "what if it rains", well then it rains doesn't it. I own a coat and I'm not the Wicked Witch of the fucking West so I'll probably just about live through it.

An unpleasant female senior colleague I was in a team meeting with asked me if I wear the same clothes all week? All I had to say was "No, do you?" LOL!

"Can you get me a job next year"?

[strangetown]

Normally stuff like what do you do all day, how do you go in those toilets?

[scrippit]

Someone told me they were 'too scared' to go!

[Pilgrim S]

This week it's all negative stuff and why they wouldn't want to do it.

After the festival they are saying how they will certainly go next year.

October they don't bother to try for a ticket.

Next June, the week before the festival they're saying all the negative stuff about why they don't want to do it again.

Every year without fail. These people never do anything.

[amfy]

"I'll keep an eye out for you on the tv." Yeah because I'll be so easy to spot in a crowd of thousands.

[verrymerry]

It's usually along the lines of "wow!" but there are the odd "oh god, you're brave/mad" etc followed by a lengthy discussion around why we're going on Wednesday when "the music doesn't start to Friday!"

[Matt87]

Most people I've told seem to be concerned about my safety, and presume I will be too intoxicated to look after myself. Maybe they know me too well?

Also, I've been told how brave I am, and asked why I would pay that much when I can stay at home and see it all on tv.

[Mr.Tease]

To be fair though, if I hadn't been i'd probably be asking similar questions (in fact I probably did!).

I remember at my first glastonbury, I was walking up towards something i'd never heard of called 'the stone circle' at night, when a girl who'd just been there walked passed me and said "f*** the music, this is where the real festival's at" and I remember thinking: "ha! Ridiculous!". Oh dear!

So to advance the topic: what's the daftest question you've asked or misconception you've had before you started going to glastonbury, that now makes you cringe?

[Krazypinkminx]

Usually how lucky i am

[eatingglitter]

My workmates are mostly jealous. I had an email from one who is quite high ranking who I was badgering not to let her deposit go but did. "This time next week you'll be at Glastonbury. well jealous. She then phoned me and the conversation culminated in her faux slamming the phone down on me.

Most people just missed out on tickets that I know.

[oneeye]

Usual bollocks, it always rains, mud, toilets, drugs etc....., I try to explain but the only one who's tuned to my wavelength is my springer; Jerry understands

[pie_and_a_pint]

In the last week:

1. (Colleague) You're going to Glastonbury?! I didn't know you did drugs!

2. (Colleague) You're NOT seeing the Rolling Stones?! What, are you just going to chill back at the tent, then?

A few weeks ago:

3. (My hairdressers) EEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! Aren't the toilets REEEEEEAAALLLLLLLYYYY GROOOSSSSSS??
