Driven to MadnessCaptain Placid asks: What annoying things do significant others, workmates and other people in general do that drive you up the wall?

Skullfunk played in Kirby-in-Ashfield last year...Everyone had told me to be careful, I thought it was going to be a proper spit-and-sawdust place. Instead, it was like Ikea, all laminated floor, trendy furniture, flat-screen TVs and wall-to-wall becapped chavs.
As we walked in I thought "Oh no, we're going to go down like a pork pie at a Jewish wedding here". Surprisingly, the gig went well, and we got a really good reception - for those of you who don't know us, we're most definitely rock/metal, with a funk groove... imagine Pantera playing the Shaft theme music. We don't do covers, at all. Whole set is our own stuff.
Anyway, we're going down reasonably well, and this old biker-looking guy approaches me, whilst sort-of-dancing. Some of the chav-looking dudes were still there too, and even they seemed to be enjoying it.
As we finished the song biker-guy comes right up to me and mutters in my ear "Do a Sex Pistols song". My protestations of "But we don't know any" are met with replies of "Do a Sex Pistols one" in ever more menacing tones.
We did the first two lines of Pretty Vacant, then went into our next song - he seemed happy :D
