Tuba players who don't give a crap about what they do and bring everyone else down because of it. What worse is that I have to be in an ensemble with these people.

If you "like to think," you probably don't make it to that level of laziness.

People who pass along very obviously bogus e-mail hoaxes and rumors without investing the 3 minutes it takes to research and find out if they're real or not. Just because someone forwarded you an e-mail telling you that diet coke will give you siezures, lupus, and brain cancer, doesn't make it real.

Did you know that drinking lots of Tab or Fresca will reverse these conditions? It's all about the saccharine, man. I learned that information from an email that had been forwarded about 250 times, eventually landing in my inbox. Thanks goodness I am so well informed!

But did you ever get that check from Bill Gates and AOL for sending that e-mail to 250,000 people???

Parents who check their child out of school during a tornado and hail storm.

Happened Tuesday afternoon, while my 7th and 8th grade band students were tucked neatly in their hiding places when a tornado came within 4 miles of my school.

I was evil and refused to let the child leave my class until the adult drove around to my building and drove their vehicle as close to the band room door as possible. Did I mention that there was golf ball size hail falling from the skies as this was happening?

Go figure....................

Flying elephants. You know they're not going to drop it in some open field. It's ever so much fun for them to bomb somebody with it.

High school and college players blasting every orchestral excerpt that they don't know how to play in a conference exhibit room.

Brass players that think that louder is always better.

Trombonists not lowering their Maj. 3rd.

Salesmen who won't take no for an answer.

Name dropping.

Those conservatory/university music students who are learning of musical history, theory, performance practice, literature, etc. for the first time and act and talk as if they are an authority and that you couldn't have possibly heard of all this before because after all, you aren't in school now.

Feet shuffling to show appreciation for peers' playing. For those who do, you should know that they don't do that in the big leagues.

For sale ads with photos that do not show a basic front and back view of the entire length of a tuba. Weird angles, extreme close-ups, and chiaroscuro lighting are fine for coffee table books, but not ads.

I like pictures of tubas in banana hammocks!

-Empy ice trays in the freezer!
-People who do not completely turn off their phones in the concert. Thanks for turning off the ringer, but do you have to stare at your illuminated phone during the concert every three minutes to see if you received a voice or text message?
-People who ask you if they can ask you a question
-Inviting someone to come over at 7pm and they show at 630 wtf
- People who put the change on top of the bill so it's all sliding around when you're trying to bring it in with your hands full and 10 people watching.....yeah it's not my fault!!
-When people call me "chief" or "slugger" or "boss" or "big guy" when i'm NONE of those things, i'm not your sergent, i'm not your boss, I don't know you
-When i have to go to a store (i'd rather not, but who has a choice?) I hate listening to dreadful "singing" and miserable, monotonous rhythms. "Popular" singers are torture to me, but it's too much to ask to buy my products in peace i guess
-People pumping gas who need to land precisely on $10 and stop at about $9 and creep up to 10 one little squeze at a time therefore making my pump fluctuate as well! I hate that
-It especially annoys me when racists are accused of "discrimination". The ability to discriminate is a precious faculty; by judging all members of one race to be the same, the racist precisely shows himself incapable of discrimination

Quite true. Is a racist defined as someone who must judge ALL members of a race to be the same? Could a racist be someone who makes observations of certain TENDENCIES that the respective races seem to have? If one says yes to the latter, than I am a racist. If one says yes to the former, than I am not a racist.

By the way, which is it-there are definite, distinctive races; or there is a myth of the concept of race? Books are continually written claiming both.

The same could be said for me, as well.
