What are some common anime convention horror stories?

There was a time when the air conditioning broke at an anime convention. It was in the middle of summer, and everyone was sweating buckets in their cosplay costumes. The smell was horrible, and it made the whole experience really uncomfortable. Some people even fainted from the heat. Cosplayers had their makeup running, and it was just a mess.

There was a case where a cosplayer had a very expensive prop weapon as part of their costume. The security at the anime convention didn't properly check the prop when the cosplayer entered. Later, during the con, another attendee accidentally bumped into the cosplayer and got hurt by the prop. There was a lot of chaos and the cosplayer was blamed, but it was also the security's fault for not ensuring the prop was safe.

One horror story was when I was at an anime convention and the line for a popular autograph session was so long. People were pushing and shoving. Some even tried to cut in line. It was chaos and I almost got crushed. I felt really scared and frustrated.

The lack of proper ventilation is often an issue. The convention halls get really stuffy and hot with all the people. It can make you feel sick after a while. Another thing is that some vendors sell really low - quality Homestuck merchandise. You might think you're getting a cool item, but when you get home and look closer, it's just a cheap knock - off.

One horror story could be when a person with a fake weapon managed to get into an anime convention. There was chaos as people thought it was a real threat. Security took a while to respond and during that time, panic spread among the attendees. Many were scared for their lives, especially those cosplaying as vulnerable characters. It was a really bad situation that showed the importance of strict security checks at these events.

One interesting anime convention story is when I saw a cosplayer who had made the most elaborate and accurate Sailor Moon costume. It was like she had stepped right out of the anime. She even had all the accessories and the hair was styled perfectly. Everyone was crowding around her for pictures.

Technical glitches are quite common in convention horror stories. This could be problems with the sound system during a panel or the lighting in an exhibitor's booth. Another is food and beverage problems at the convention. For instance, if there are long lines at the food stalls or the food is of poor quality. And of course, unruly or disrespectful attendees can also be a part of these stories, like people pushing in lines or being rude to cosplayers.

Late - starting events are quite common. You wait for hours for a panel or a show to start, only to find out there are technical glitches or the organizers are just not ready. Another is bad food. When you're at a convention all day, you expect decent food options, but sometimes the food available is either overpriced and of very low quality.

One horror story could be about overcrowding. At a furry convention, the venue was way too small for the number of attendees. People were constantly bumping into each other, and it was difficult to move around. Some fursuiters even had their tails or ears accidentally stepped on, which was really painful and ruined their experience.

One horror story could be about a guest finding a rat in their room. They were just settling in when they saw it scurrying across the floor. It was so disgusting and made them feel very uncomfortable. They immediately asked to change rooms.
