Honestly, I've almost never had experiences like that in the pit. My first concert was seeing Kittie, and everyone in the pit was super-cool and I was hooked after that. The only time I've encountered assholes in the pit was when I took my girlfriend at the time to see Good Charlotte, and the fucking brats in the punks were trying to prove that they were legitimate punks by being dicks in the pit.
The thought of a pit at a Good Charlotte gig is...strange
