AC/DC in the Amsterdam Arena, there was a drunk guy who was really expressing himself in his dancing and didnt mind getting in people's face / touching them while he was at it. This was at the seated places mind you, it was uncomfortable and it took me a while to work up the courage to tell him to back off a bit.
..I have half the mind now just to go to one to find some really hot girls and "accidentally" fool around.
Though no, it's never happened to me. I've never been to a concert, I'm rather a quiet life guy with instrumentals and video's games to keep my auditory senses content.

Virtually every gig i've ever been to i've been groped/touched in strange ways.
I'd list them but it's basically just arse-grabbing, hip/waist touching, hair touching... that kind of thing.
However, at Slipknot in 2008, a pit started near me, so i stepped backwards, and a guy put his arms round me to pull me backwards away from everything, which i appreciated really. but then he turned me round and tried to get his tongue down my throat. it was really weird and disgusting D:

Well, I've never had any problems at shows or concerts, but my girlfriend and my ex-roommate have both had near-incidents.
My ex-roommate got caught at the edge of an impromptu mosh-pit last New Year's Eve, and was more-or-less run-over. What really pissed me off was that in the time it took myself and her boyfriend got out to her, which was probably only 6-8 seconds (we weren't subtle or polite about our trailblazing), no one else had stopped to help a 5'3", 120lbs girl up off the floor.
In my girlfriends' case, there've been a couple shows where large men have apparently decided that they weren't faring well in the actual mosh-pit, so they started coming out to the edges and trying to body-check smaller people. My roommate's boyfriend and I spotted one particular bad apple earlier during a show, and we spotted him lining up my girlfriend and a few of her friends. We caught him between us, with elbows high; he must have suddenly remembered more pressing engagements elsewhere, because we didn't see him the rest of the night.
Has mosh-pit etiquette completely disappeared?

As for me, I can more think of a moment where I *did* put up with something for my personal beliefs, as a consequence curing myself of an over-active sense of chivalry.
When you're in a relationship and it's clearly not working, don't drag it out. Give it another chance, sure, give it two if you want. But when you reach that point where you just _know_ it's not working, end it. I once held on and let it drag out until she broke up with me, because I didn't want to hurt her by being the one to break up with her. Not only a total waste of 2 months of my life but since she's no longer talking to me anyway (or even acknowledging when I'm in the room) it's not like it was appreciated or even noticed.
That said I don't even live in the same country now, so who cares, but still, that's two months I could've spent doing... anything else.
A drunk guy tried to steal my hat in order to puke in it once, at a Blackfoot concert. D:< Bastard.
Hoo boy. Getting my rib broken at a Disturbed show, fracturing my ankle at an All That Remains show, fracturing the exact same rib at Streetlight Manifesto, breaking a finger at In Flames...and this is in addition to the standard mosh pit injuries, which have been plentiful but are generally too minor to mention. I tend to dish out as generously as I receive though, so I suppose it all evens out karmically.
(As an aside: I'm going to see Disturbed again at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in August. I'm fairly confident that I can at least double my damaged rib ratio this time around. Nothing like starting your sophomore year of college barely able to breath to make you appreciate life.)

I'm not sure exactly why, but that sounds like about 50 different kinds of awesome.Lunar Shadow said:

No I am quite forthcoming in my 'ex-cer-yooose me?' when it comes to inappropriate grabbing. I've thrown my drink over two people to this date who believed that grabbing my arse or my boobs was okay just because I have the audacity to be out in public and bring them along with me.
Poor you, I feel sooooo sorry for you /sarcasm
That's what I had planned to say until you mentioned the guy and the crotch thing... ew...

I was at a Green Day concert when I was, say, 14 or 15, and these annoying 20-something drunk girls behind me kept smacking my ass. That was awkward.
I got kicked in the head by a crowd surfer at a Bad Religion concert. Nothing you can't expect being up front against the barricade, though.
Also, I remember going to warped tour one time, my friends wanted to see New Found Glory and were trying to get up towards the front. We ended up getting pushed out towards the edge against this huge chain link fence..which ended up falling over thanks to a mosh pit (don't understand what a mosh pit was doing at a NFG show lol) and my legs were crushed under eight or ten people. Luckily, I came out slightly bruised and thats all.

I am a feisty redhead. If an inanimate object bumps into me (or the other way around), I will exact my wrath upon it (You should see the dent in my filing cabinet). Woe unto the flesh & blood person who bumps into me.
I'm also gifted with the ability to make pervertsfeel akward & uncomfortable after listening to me talk for about 3 minutes. Unfortunately, this also works on job interviewers.
