Cough at concerts

[xoggoth]

You should be able to hire a bubble like device, like a transparent divers helmet. It would have an inner and an outer with a vacuum in between to keep the sound in.

Have to add a mic and earphones or we wouldn't hear the talk etc. It would be so remote we may as well stay at home and do absolutely everything via the internet.

Went to a talk the other week and had a fit of sneezing. There must be a way to not sneeze.

Yes, bite your top lip.

and a little windscreen wiper on the inside to clear the snot away

If someone is coughing, child or not, they should keep away from the concert.

Alot of cinemas now do autistic performances. Though Mrs BP does not baby BP shout out/run around in case it encourages him for other performances! There are some severely autistic teenagers there - some parents take them out if they are not well behaved which I think is a great pity.

With autistic children, we do our best not to inflict them on other people. So for Christmas carol service we will leave baby bp at Grandmas. But for his first holy communion he will have to attend so everyone else will have to put up with him.

You can successfully stifle a sneeze, but the resultant exploding head really doesn't make it worthwhile.

That really does sound rather rude for some reason

[NotAllThere]

Somehow the performers manage not to cough! Though in the theatre we use, there is strictly no food or drink - including water - permitted in the auditorium. It is permitted back stage though.

well there is nothing more annoying than trying to watch/listen to something and have some making regular distracting noises

in general yes the child and/or the parents should have though that it was a bad idea to inflict their noise on other people so it is a bit rude.

This. Im sick of hearing people cough, cough, cough during concerts or in the cinema. Take a bag of throat lozengers and some water if you cannot bear the dry atmosphere in theatres. Seriously, if you cannot go without coughing for 10 minutes, go see the flipping doctor.

I dont pay over a 100 quid per concert to hear someone coughing incessantly.

Obviously not a problem if you're at a crash, bang, wallop concert.

Did you manage to keep your eyes open when sneezing?

+1. Leave the kids in the garage if you are going to a concert, or in the check-in baggage if you are flying.
