Hi, moderator here who approved your comment, despite the personal dig at me for being "the worst."

I'm not victim blaming anyone. It's not OPs fault that the promoter and venue failed to admit people in a timely manner and get them out of the elements fast enough or even at a normal speed. It's pretty clear that myself and others agree that sucks.

What I did do, however, is let OP and others—who may be in this position in the future—know that they have their own personal responsibilities to how they dress in inclement weather. Anyone with a functional nervous system knows that yesterday was cold and rainy pretty much all day. Look out a window, stick a hand out of the door, or maybe look at a weather report. So, in that respect, being underdressed knowing that there will be a period of time one will be outdoors is probably not a "great decision."

If you—the proverbial you and not individual you—go to the beach for an all-day outdoor music festival and didn't pack sunscreen or bring an umbrella or tent and can't find any shade to stand under, yeah, you're gonna get a pretty bad sunburn and/or heat stroke. Both of those things are typically preventable with the right planning.

There are plenty of stories of people getting seriously ill, injured, or dying from being exposed to the elements and not having appropriate clothing.

>also there’s nowhere to put a fucking coat

So just hold it or tie it around your waist or wear it or ask someone else if they can hold it for you. I mean, goddamn. It's not a difficult thing.

Lastly, and I'm saying this as a moderator: take it down a notch.
