16 People Who Thought They Could Handle Music Festivals And Lost (Photos)

It's certainly possible to go to a musical festival and take in the performances while consuming the substance(s) of your choice responsibly and having a genuinely enjoyable time, and it's just as possible to experience the exact opposite.

If you're not prepared, the combination of heat, dancing and prohibited substances can often catch up to you quicker than expected, and it's important to have someone you can rely on to ensure you don't wander off and do something that makes people want to take your picture.

When that happens, you'll end up on the Internet and eventually on a website somewhere as an entry on a list of people who severely overestimated their ability to survive a music festival.

It would probably look something like this.

It's like the old saying goes: If at first you don't succeed, give up entirely.

This is a metaphor for what he's going to feel like when he finally wakes up.

He's just doing an impression of the Great Pacific garbage patch.

This is so the aliens know who to abduct.

C-c-c-c-c-ombo!

Let's hope that's water.

This is just like "Saving Private Ryan" with none of the bravery or sacrifice.

On the bright side, these guys had each other.

Everyone so far has lost in a metaphorical sense -- unlike the people who dropped these at Bonnaroo.

At least those people had the option to drive somewhere to buy a new phone.

Making out with trees is never a good look.

There's really nothing worse than passing out in a portable toilet.

Wait, I take that back.

At least the last guy didn't have to get tasered to collapse onto the ground.

And he wasn't covered in lo mein.

Remember: You can't always stop things from going wrong, but you should always be prepared to make the best of the situation.
