To the guy who ripped my hands open and stole the guitar pick I caught the other night

r/

I just want you to know that you’re an asshole. That’s all. I occasionally lurk on here, but your actions were so shitty that I had to create an account just to let Reddit know what a complete dick you are. I caught the pick between both of my hands like a frisbee, then you decided to rip my clasped hands apart so that you could snatch it from my palms.

It wasn’t a quick action either, it went on for a good minute like a game of tug of war. You full on grabbed my wrist, yanked on it to pull me closer then started prying my clasped hands apart until they eventually slipped open for you to snatch it. I don’t know who in their right mind would even do such a thing, but it was such a dick move. Seriously, you have the worst concert etiquette I’ve ever seen that it left a stain on an otherwise amazing night.

    Wow. Sorry, OP, that’s something I would expect from my 4 year old. A grown man doing that? Asshole move.

    Same guy who pulls the baseball from the player’s hand.

    You’re a self-centered animal.

    Sounds like a way to get kicked in the nuts.

    Was the person too big to punch?

    Some people become like animals when faced with something that they want. Blind, by choice or simply by nature, to anyone else they have to step on to get their way.

    Who was the artist? Most of the shows I go to would get you beaten up over that.

    Exactly! Worse than baseball 😂 but that’s why you after party with the band 😂 so when they’re giving out stuff on stage they just hand it to you ✌️#shinernation

    What a piece of shit. What band?

    See, in my world that’s considered assault and physical defense against assault is justified.

    I’m sure the pick thief will read this post and then return it with an apology.

    I’ve heard people stand on the pic. Harder to move your foot that way.

    I’ve had this happen. Lead singer threw a pick, I found it and put my foot over it so I could reach down and pick it up and this little teenage bitch picked my foot up to grab it. Concert etiquette is completely gone

    I had a feeling while reading the OP that it would be an all woman band. What a creepy prick.

    No one helped you?! I would have been yelling HEY THIS MAN IS ASSAULTING ME.

    I would have kicked him in the nuts, shins, etc. He wouldn’t be getting away from my angry 5’2 ass.

    That’s a thousand percent assault. Absolutely ridiculous that people act like that

  24. -SideshowBob- Avatar

    That’s awful OP. I have to ask, did no one else around you try to stop this asshole from assaulting you? If I saw this going on, I would have dropped the mother fucker on the spot.

    I would have kneed him in the balls for touching me so aggressively. FAFO.

    When I was 12 I was at a baseball game, a home run ball was coming right at me. This fat drunk bastard behind jumps on my back to take the ball out of my hands. I will never forget about that ass hole.

    Last weekend at an Easter Egg hunt, my daughter (8) found one of the 15 golden tickets amount 1000s of eggs, she had it in her basket and a girl (maybe 10 or 11) ran past her and grabbed it. This type of asshole behavior starts young. We tried to find the girl so I could do my best to inform the parents they’re raising a trash kid but there was hundreds of people and it was a wash, my daughter saw one last glimpse of her with the prize that should have been hers. One can only hope theirs some real karmic power in the universe and that dude that stole your treasure eats shit soon.

    Is it bad that I want to do recon to see if I can find this dude?

    Try contacting the band’s social media and tell them you were assaulted at their show while trying to secure the pick they threw you.

    You’re better than me. I would have kicked him right in the balls.

    You’re a better person than I am I’ll just leave it at that…
