What’s the worst thing that can happen to you at a music festival?
Going to set up your tent for your three day trip and forgetting all your pegs? Annoying to be sure, but it could be worse. How about arriving at the gate after a long commute and realising you’ve forgotten your ticket? That’s pretty awful but again it could be worse.
Having your wallet stolen? Getting beat up? Being busted by the police for your ‘leisure activities’? All certified downers that could potentially scar you and lead you to avoid large crowds or shoulder-to-shoulder packs in the future. But what about just feeling sick? Now you’re on the right track…
It’s a well-known fact that no matter how classy a music festival, from the smallest boutique events to the biggest and most well-catered gatherings, they all have one thing in common: less-than-classy toilets.
For one particularly unlucky female individual, an encounter with some rather standardised facilities meant that her worst music festival nightmares came true. There isn’t much detail to the backstory (probably to protect the poor girl’s sense of pride), with no real detail as to the where and when, or even what festival, but according to website The Frat House (via music blogger Alan Cross), this punter had an experience she won’t soon forget.
Check out this shit… literally. “Some girl tried to puke in a public toilet during a big festival…” reads the anonymous post, apparently she lost her balance and tipped up her occupied portaloo and, well… the stomach-churning results can be viewed below.
No, that isn’t a poorly conceived attempt at music festival fancy dress, that’s the stark look of someone who’s just fallen into one of the most disgusting catchments imaginable, a plastic container filled with the excrement of the festival-going population.
Unlike The Shawshank Redemption‘s Andy Dufresne, who according to Morgan Freeman’s ‘Red’, “crawled to freedom through 500 yards of shit smelling foulness I can’t even imagine, or maybe I just don’t want to… and came out clean on the other side,” Unidentified Festival Victim #1 didn’t go very far and surely didn’t come out of the experience as anything remotely resembling clean.
We’d totally understand if the pictured victim swears off heading to any music festival again and we’ll totally get it if you take a similar vow to absent from the Big Day Out, Splendour In The Grass, Falls, Meredith, Stereosonic or any other number of events in the interests of not ending up looking like the poor lass above.
