I was so shocked to see how many people left their belongings, but it was even more shocking that it was normal for everyone online," she said.

"Everyone is really tired after a multi-day festival, but I didn't think people were that lazy or careless."

I'm suprised she's surprised.

Yeah, these are usually rich kids who can afford to just dump the tents and stuff when they're done.

    It's not just that.

    Average people are buying cheap junk that's essentially single use, and they may not have anywhere to store it even if it's still usable after a 3-4 day festival.

    Rich people are 100% not doing normal parking either, they're in the VP or at least RV.
