McGrath's comment

"People who aren't playing anything, but hog the seats in the middle of the music while musicians are struggling to play standing."

Most especially if they can't play any instrument at all.

The most obnoxious criticism I've had (about any instrument I play) is from those who do not play that instrument. If sufficiently pissed off, and in the right mood, I am not above physically offering the instrument to them and saying something like "Go ahead - I always like to take lessons from a master on the instrument". Related to this, usually the more instruments a person plays the more tolerant I have found them to any other instrument. But of course, some people are just natural "gentle-folks".


I got others, but that's enough for now...
