  • 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.

    Don't you occasionally fake Freebird?

    Queen?

    Well, I know that I occasionally have gotten your start time off by a lot...thinking you started at 9 when you actually started at 7.

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

    Next time tell them to bring it to you so that you can eat it so that you can tell what's wrong with it.

    I will have to try that sometime, but without the cigarette stench. 😛

  • This isn't one of my pet peeves, personally, but Joey Diaz's views are hysterical:
