I ruined someone's gig
A few weeks back I took my mum to go and see Leonard Cohen at the O2 on her birthday. It was a Friday night and I'd had a bad day at work, so upon arrival I kind of hit the bar pretty hard and by the end of the first half I was a little drunk, but within acceptable parameters. Now I fucking love Leonard Cohen as much as any man can love another man, and as the second half began I was having a whale of a time, my work problems forgotten and singing along to all the classics (even the French bits during the Partisan) with gusto. Probably aplomb as well, or at least the verbal equivalent.

Then, about halfway through the second half, the female portion of the couple sitting in front of me turned around and shouted: "Will you just shut the fuck up?" Since she had asked so nicely, I smiled and very carefully formed the words that precisely summed up my feelings at that point: "Kiss. My. Arse."

She looked at her partner, who shrugged and went back to watching the show. Then, in exasperation, she went to try and find a bouncer to throw me out for singing along at a concert. Having got short shrift there as well, she stood in the aisle for the rest of the show. Her boyfriend didn't even leave his seat.

No wonder your dad abandoned you if you're this much of a fucking embarrassment to your parents.

Yeah, how fucking embarassing, singing along to songs that I like at a concert
...and like your fuckwit hero Rory, you have got the relationship between me and my dad completely backwards. I appreciate the attempt to wind me up, but you're so far wide of the mark you might as well have been talking about my relationship with Arthur Fowler from off of Eastenders.

Hey, if we can't share how we feel about strangers in the Internet? Where can we?

I believe the etiquette de la jour is to jizz on them on the underground
Then they reciprocate through the means of interpretive dance

Not sure why you think this woman should
Pay 50 quid to hear YOU sing when it said Leonard Cohen on her ticket.

If only he'd had the benefit of the O2's speaker system to amplify his voice

(, Fri 26 Jul 2013, 19:13, closed)
Obviously not enough benefit to stop her
from hearing you.

Really?
Do you think so?

I think you're mistaking him for a functioning adult
rather than an autistic child.

He comes across more as a sociopath than an autist.
If he were a sperglord, he'd have played the victim and/or treated the complainer to an hour-long lecture on why he was right and she was wrong.

high functioning?

'I fucking love Leonard Cohen as much as any man can love another man'
So, you want to marry him, adopt a baby and spend the rest of your life gargling his jizz while he smashes your back door in.

I know your type. Boring other sad cunts to tears. If only there was an online forum where you could autism each other up.
