20 Ways I’d Rather Spend a Weekend Than at Burning Man

By

In case you are living in a bubble, the most unbearable demographic in the United States got trapped in a giant field of mud this weekend. This group is the attendees of Burning Man, and a storm turned their campsite into a brown puddle. For several days, cars were trapped leaving people with nothing to do other than kill their stashes of drugs to wait out the weather. It was bad. 

The worst thing about this weekend for those who were trapped, is that they were forced to be together. Attendees of Burning Man are notorious for sharing unwanted drug stories to anyone who will listen. It’s not because the experience is that great, but because the people there are the worst people on the planet. I believe this Tweet from criminally underrated stand-up comedian Sam Morril summarizes the issue.
