Worst convention experience

The only bad experience I can say I had at a con was the one con that I went to, I was in the console arcade and someone had asked me one question that made me depressed; "What pronouns do you go by?" Why did this depress me? Because it made me remember how many people that question has to be asked to, and that people really are that sensitive. It makes me wonder what happened to those people that made them so uncomfortable in their own bodies that they need to do that to themselves. Gonna try to go again this year, but hopefully avoiding that awkwardness.

So there was a rave at this one con. My friend went to get his bag he left in there and these random people just started dancing literally on us and it was uncomfortable/awkward. That's why I don't go to con raves anymore. Oh and I was awful at flirting so that was awkward too. The rest of the con was fun though!

Inter_change - I did similar, but I attended a lot of cosplay panels since that's my biggest interest at cons. It's hard for me to start conversation, but easy for me to avoid it. My worst convention experience however, was when I had to deal with an ex-friend who went to a con and free-loaded the entirety. Firstly, we had to drive her up, with her last-minute asking us for a ride, then she bummed the reg money from us, then she got a chunk of money from another friend because that friend had found some on the ground (we went to lost and found and they couldn't do anything about it, so she kept it). Then that friend ditched us for the whole weekend without a trace, not even coming back to the room or giving us heads-up about her condition. Not even a "thanks for the free night at hotel and money and etc." She ended up crashing with a another set of friends, which she was previously kicked from for the same reasons. She is now out of con circuits because everyone kicked her from their groups, at least last I heard. I haven't talked to her since. Oh, and the only way we were able to contact her was through the other group of friends' phones. We waited an extra hour to leave the con when we were updated "oh, she already left with them."
