Opinion / Jeff Hahne / News ...that's why there are bathrooms
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Thu, May 13, 2010 at 9:46 AM
OK, there's no other way to put this, but the subject keeps wafting in, so someone has to address it. When you're at a concert, or any other loud public event, please keep in mind that while people may not exactly hear you release your flatulence, that doesn't mean they won't smell it.
Gross? Yep, it is, without a doubt, but for some horrible reason, I keep finding myself in the vicinity of someone who obviously ate something that his/her digestive track did not agree with.
Last week, I was at Levon Helm — a seated show at the Knight Theatre — and was basically trapped in the vicinity of the culprit. Last night, I was at OK Go and when the stinky situation arose from somewhere near the soundboard, I could easily make a run for another part of the venue to get away.
Seriously — that's why there are bathrooms. You may be trying to add your own bass line to the evening's events through a rumble out your backside, but you should remember that smell travels and there's no longer the stench of cigarette smoke to mask your intestinal distress.
Why bring this up in a blog posting? Because it's quite obvious that some people don't have common sense when it comes to these matters and don't care about the people around them. I don't want to smell you if you haven't showered, and I don't want to get a hint at what you might have eaten earlier in the day.
Next time, whoever you are, get your shit together, literally and let people enjoy the show... Everybody does it, but not everybody wants to know about it... or get a preview.
Speaking of...
