august1 Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 If there a must do thread so thought this was appropriate. Must be plenty of past experience on things not to do! Queuing inside is got to one. Eating at ropey places near the mian stages. Drinking too much the first few nights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yehbutnobut Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Whatever you do, definitely dont forget to pull your waterproof jacket fully up before taking a very rushed and rather loose turd, whilst in a portaloo... The consequences of this are truly horrific. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guypjfreak Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) Don't buy any think from the stalls that's expensive cos come Sunday afternoon the prices drop and if you want to get up early then you can often grab a bargain even on Monday morning.. Do not carry a flag or pole with a blow up doll on it around...... YOU know YOUR at Glastonbury that should be enough lol Edited June 18, 2019 by guypjfreak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beergirl Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Don't be a dick when trying to get through crowds. Just say excuse me. And don't be a dick if someone is trying to get passed you (unless they themselves are being dicks).They're more likely to be just trying to find their mates than trying to stand right in front of you. Don't avoid a food stall because it's got a big queue - it's usually for a good reason! Don't ignore a direction or instruction from a steward or security, they're just doing their jobs and trying to keep everyone safe Don't pack the jaegermeister it's absolutely vile if not cold!

crocodiles Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Don't drink a few pints before standing in middle of a massive crowd. I can't last that long anymore I need to be able to get to a loo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WStoner Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Don't piss on the land Don't piss in a cup with a hole in it Don't piss in your hands Don't piss anywhere that's not a toilet - as far as possible If you generally get ring sting from spicy food, don't eat overly spicy food. Nothing worse than doing a burning shit in a long drop when you're off your nut in the naughty corner Don't forget to take toilet roll about with you during the day Don't neglect people who seem disorientated or unwell, especially at night and especially in the more 'druggy' areas. If you see someone on their own who looks like they've had enough get a steward and give them some water Always carry water! Don't over-do it on the Weds or Thurs nights 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 How is it possible to refrain from overdoing it on Weds/Thurs? I’m at my favourite place in the world with friends I love and haven’t seen in some cases since the last Glastonbury two years ago. You have your cup of tea and a sensible early night. Me, i’ll get stupidly overexcited and go hell for leather. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time I see Mik Artistik in the afternoon I'll be pissed as the proverbial fart, and that's before I drink heavily at the eFests meet.
