As an Entertainer:

A few annoying request styles.

The guy who thanks it makes him seem hip by requesting an artist rather than a song but he only knows one fucking song by that guy.

The idiot who asks for a song 10 minutes after you just fucking played it.

The moron who thinks it's hilarious 2 year Free Bird, AC/DC or In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.

Dimwits who request songs that would obviously be impossible for a male acoustic guitarist. Including weather report, Chicago or Christina Aguilera.

Cretins who walk in during the last song of a three-hour set and get pissed off because "we just got here!"

Stooges who come up to me with problems about their food order or server.

The dunce that jumps up on stage to bellow what he thinks is a harmony part in my ear but is in reality cacophony laced with cigarettes beer and onion stench.

In the early 90's I was in a handbell choir. I covered an Octive on the bass bells and we had to do a couple of songs at a graduation. This particular song had a full note rest before continuing on. For some reason I hit an F in stated of an F#. I completely nailed this in rehearsal multiple times. Embarassing for me and then after the graduation I get the know it alls that heard this note telling me what I did wrong. Crazy.

Oh, at first I thought you said Brits, not Brats.

How about Bratty Brits? I have been related to a few.

People who eat "loud", slurp or hum while chewing

Brats....I hate brats....(and their parents).....

If I really wanted some of that shit I would buy the competition: Burt's Bees. Not that I want any of that shit either.

And I think you mentioned this one, people who don't supervise their unruly brats in public. I hate kids anyway but even more when this happens.

Did anybody mention barking dogs? I hate neighbors whose dogs bark all the fucking time. I don't want to hurt the dog, I want to shoot the owner and let the dog moved into the house.

This fat lady and her three little ones come into the store every morning. Ya I have kids and now grand kids. I have a soft spot for them but I have to be nice. Her kids were walking by and she says, "my kids know you're not shy so I'll get them away from you". I was really thinking wtf does that mean exactly. So paybacks..

She comes into the store with no kids, smiles and says hello. I acted as if I never seen her before and then acted surprised. I said, "I didn't recognize you without your kids".

Let's say for instance a woman just gets bad news at a Doc. appointment. She goes in a gas station and gets a bottle of water.

The cashier had a bad morning when she got a call from her kids school and her kid has misbehaved ...again.

Either of the two are thinking of the exchange of words it's just a bad situation. People are people.

Indeed, it works both ways. A smile goes a long, long way.

Yup.

And sullen, grumpy employees.

It's not my fault your job sucks.

Butchy Lesbians that hate men. Not hate like they want nothing to do with them in a sexual nature, rather just hate them for existing. My theory is they're jealous of our gender and our equipment. Ya they can sew a rubber one on but it ain't gonna do the trick. Ya they strap one on but just ain't the same thing. It's lickty split.

Yup.

Pet Peeve.

Rude customers. It's so easy to be a complete dick to someone on the other side of the counter knowing they can't tell you what they really think. Just once I'd love to punch one right in the face.

Dumb people who are under the illusion that they are clever.

Lazy people who play dumb to get out of working.

People who interject in the middle of things they don't understand thus increasing the time it takes to find a solution to the problem they didn't understand.

Kids behaving poorly in public set off my former juvie guard sense. I can't tolerate watching the parents let it happen or seeing the kids get by with it. When I was in Charleston, SC, I saw a lady slap the shit out of her son for backtalking her. She started to apologize profusely and I told her not to worry about it. I asked jr if he deserved it. He nodded and mom was glad that she found someone walking around who gets it.

If someone is in training...they should NOT put their hands in their pockets. Ya I know you're nervous but hands work not rest.
