This is why I don't go to conventions.

You know it's even worse than this. :D

I tried a convention once but as soon as I walked in the door I saw my first 320 lbs male Sailor Moon (with accurate skirt length) and swore off any future trips.

    eh just do as I do. Buy soap on a rope, and carve it into the holy symbol of your choice and wear it around your neck. Now you're safe against both vampires AND fanboy funk! Two holy symbols for the price of one! :D

    There was this Robot Chicken skit about a Sci Fi convention where a crazed fan took a sample of Leonard Nimoy's DNA without his permission...

    I'd post a link, but Youtube has taken to having a commercial play before the desired video... kinda the way older DVDs will play an hours worth of commercials (with no way to skip them) before you're allowed to watch the movie that's on them.

    True story:

    I went to a Trek convention about 20 years ago with two coworkers. I didn't know them very well; they just invited me because they knew I liked Trek. I would've had a great time, but the two coworkers spent the entire time arguing ferociously about the episode number of "Trouble With Tribbles."

    I don't remember the exact episodes they claimed, but the argument was basically this for 12 hours:

    "I'm telling you, it was the 45th episode!"

    "No, it was the 44th!"

    Keep in mind, this was pre-internet (for the most part) so these kinds of questions couldn't be answered with a quick internet search.

    These guys were absolutely furious with each other by the end of the day. All because they didn't find something at the con to settle their argument. I ended up wandering off and avoiding them for most of the con, but it was still bad enough to make me think, "Holy moly, I do not belong here because I honestly don't care which episode number it was."

    obviously one did count "The Cage" as Episode 1 while the other didn't...

    and today one would simply say S02E15

    At yet it's still not as bad as the "Man-Faye" incident (That guy actually got banned from the convention)
