Punters you wanna dance on!!

[The squire]

Last week a guy about 25 came into where i was djing. This place has an Rnb, hip hop & chart music policy. He was well dressed in a nice suit. Anyway he comes over and says "I wanna hear a house track in the next 60 seconds", I explain to him that because of the music policy i dont even carry any, and he starts to tell me how he owns "shine" in N.ireland and how he runs nights in kellys. He must have told me his name about 8 times in the space of 2 minutes, and kept asking "do you know who i am?". Anyway, he starts telling me i dont look like a dj (???) etc. anyway he finally goes away, but starts dancing right in front of the dj box in a "look at me dancing to this sad sad music for stupid people" way. He continued to do that all night but at the start of many songs he would bend over, stick his fingers in his mouth and pretend to vomit. Once he walked up to the box and put on a big cheesy fake smile, gave me the thumbs up and said well done, as if to say this is the worst song ever. It was j-lo from the block, everyone else was dancing! He was the most smarmy, annoying, blood-boiling person ive ever had in a crowd ive played to. The only punter ever who i have really wanted to hurt!!
He actually doesnt sound too bad in writing, but believe me he was bad!!

He turned up again 2 nights ago, a lot quieter and in the same suit!!

What experiences have you had with bad punters??:mad:

For me it's drunken teenagers - worst case being them pucking all over my new mixer......w*nker

[DeargDoom]

Anyone that knows me will know that I'm a mild mannered chap with no temper - I'd have re-arranged his features.

(wait - thats why I don't keep my gigs... damn!)

He was just a narrowminded wanker Squire and the type of punter youd just LOVE to see die a horrible death .
Taking abuse like that is not part of any job and should never be tolerated so next time he's in , just get him fucked out . Either that or have him shot .
I work a venue on a Wednesday night where most of the customers know as much about music as i know about a cure for sars disease , 95% of them are scangers anyway and ask for the same 3 songs all the time so imagine their reaction when i played Layo & Bushwacka .......''.Wots da bleedin starry wi de music ''
The floor cleared quicker than a bread van driving through Etheopia [spell check ] ....
So i was then asked ''do i have the Frank Kennedy Hot FM megamix ''? ...............Beam me up Scotty ......

[The squire]

Ha ha, some good advice!! I hear that megamix is the new maniac!! lol

[Fmfreddie]

What about these wankers that come up to you asking,NO-demanding Oasis in the middle of an R'n'B set. WANKERS>!

I would have just kept on smiling and tried to ignore the arsehole. God help anyones whos friends with the guy.

Last Friday, pub gig. Nice spot, very nice actually, I was looking forward to it. Rather like Squire the place has a music policy of mainly mainstream dance and a little R'n'B. One lad, bout 18/19 kept coming up and asking for Lisa Lashes, which normally wouldnt bother me, I always carry plenty of Hard House, but it just did not suit the gig, so I explained it to him, told him my hands were tied. It was then he became really aggressive, so I told him I would play it. He came up 10 mins later and went mad coz I didn't play it. I told him I did play it and that he must have missed it, he calmed down a little and told me for more so I said no problem. Again after bour 15 mins he came up and went mad and again I told him I played TdV bout 5 mins ago. H ewas not happy. I told him to relax I'd play some more next and told him I'd even give me a shout. He gave me his name. So before the next track I said "He has been looking for it all night, this is for K****" and played Sean Paul. He stood up for his seat and started screaming, so security chucked him out, great night after that. My girlfriend still reckons I was lucky he didn't decide to flatten me!

[mattbrat24]

LOL Phil :)....sounds like a good plan then :)...would have loved to have seen the look on his face when you said his name :)

[Ivan Eego]

Squire, have to say 99% of punters these days are nice, decent, understanding people,(beyonce brigade excluded)

however for the other 1%, 1 word ........................SECURITY ;)

(and give him a few slaps with the motorola on the way out for me !!!!!!!!)

[DarraghRoberts]

The Beyonce brigade have recently gratuated from the Christina click!

Zero toerence towards rude or abusive customers! Ive no time for it, its just a job, whether your DJing to have pocket money to go out the following night or its a full time job that pays the mortgage, we are not paid enough to take abuse off punters.


On a completly different note, I couldnt find the differnt meaning to song thread, but you all remember Mrs Wood - Joanna. What was that line that was in the middle. Was it 'give it to the mop, give it to the mop' that one has puzzled me for years!

[VinnyS]

As far as i know, its "give a little more", but i recall lar singing "kick him in the nuts" on occasion
