Too old to mosh pt2!

So following on from my last thread I went to see cancer bats at the waterfront. Found a new dance called hardcore dancing wtf is that all about?????
Anyway I digress
Decided to go in the pit for a bit of a shin dig with my good buddies
A group of people decided I wanted to crowd surf, I told them in no uncertain terms I didn't. Next thing I know I'm flying. Over the barrier I go and am swiftly whisked off to stage left. For some reason I pat my pocket and find my iPhone has gone! Check the other and my wallet is still there, have a little hunt round the stage area and come to the conclusion it's been nicked. Cue me getting angry and running back into the pit to find the offenders. No luck so I tell security and 5 others are there telling them the same thing. They close all exits and after the gig the police search everyone as they exit. By this time 20 phones are missing and 20 people are waiting at the exit to lynch whoever has them.
The robber spies this and proceeds to the toilets and dumps them and flushes them. They are located and after a while the police reunite us all with our phones. Mine was at the bottom and wouldn't switch on. Gutted my brand new shiny iPhone is wrecked. Into a big of rice in the airing cupboard and 3 days later it works hurrah

But the morale of this story is dint take your phone to gigs if you're going to mosh. If you have to put it in your side pockets and never the back ones. A rubber case helps and so do tight trousers.

You don't realise quite how much you rely on one these bloody phones till you lose it

I now have a cheapie payg phone to take on nights out and my mates stag do etc cos I couldn't bare losing my iPhone again!

 

i "liked" because of the cancer bats not the fact you had your phone picked. I have a soft "surf" style wallet on a lanyard. The lanyard goes round my belt loop so if my my wallet goes i'll feel it being pulled. My phone always goes in my front pocket with a hanky on top of it - that way I can feel the hanky being pulled out as they go for the phone. Never been picked (touch wood)

 

Is "hanky" a euphemism for something else?,

 

granted it does sound like something similar..............................but no

 

Rock City for Dropkick Murphys few months ago, when we arrived police outside warning everybody of phone theft earlier in the week at Gig their..it made the local news too..Apparently they have runners who get them outside to Smoking area then pass them on, then back inside for another....scum absolute scum.

 

trouble is, in the mosh pit youve got people knocking you left right and centre so you just dont feel a hand dipping in your pocket
on the upside cancer bats were really good!
