Worst things that people have told you while djing?
Last Friday:
A drunk girl with a DJ Romania-ish accent: "Hey DJ, can you play some banging electronica like Benny Benassi?"
My answer: "actually I'm playing live so it's only tracks of mine but I can take the mic and beatbox YMCA if you want"
That was so good!

I caught this over on the DI forums some years ago, and whether or not it was originally produced by the guy who posted, I would imagine it was born out of some actual experience:
quote:
Top ten things you should never say to a DJ:
1. PLAY SOMETHING GOOD...SOMETHING WE CAN DANCE TO !
2. WOULD YOU PLAY SOMETHING WITH A "BEAT" !
3. I DON'T KNOW WHO SINGS IT AND I DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF THE SONG, BUT IT GOES LIKE THIS....
4. EVERYBODY WANTS TO HEAR IT !
5. EVERYBODY WILL DANCE IF YOU PLAY IT !
6. I CAN GET LAID IF YOU PLAY IT !
7. I WANT TO HEAR IT NEXT !
8. WHAT DO YOU HAVE ?
9. HEY, MAN, NOBODY CAN DANCE TO THIS !
10. PLAY IT SOON, BECAUSE WE'RE LEAVING !
And above all....if the DJ has one hand on the mixing board, one hand on the turntable, and the headphones on....Don’t bug him
....HE’S MIXING!!!!

I remember when I was in this club and this DJ had his head burried inside the mixer and was turning some knob reaallly slow and with lot of concentration (pretention I think)..
I went up to him and said: 'Hey man, what the heck you are doing, dont break that stuff.. I have some good CD collection in my car.. you wanna me bring it up for you?'
