Getting one's coat
I was at a gig one night, and near the end we (the band) were standing chatting out in the foyer of the hall, when one of the punters came up to my mate and said, "Get my coat for me". Mate replied instantly, "Get it yerself, pal!"

The bloke went apeshit, ranting about the rudeness of the staff in this place, until I quietly explained that we were the band and it wasn't actually our job to get people's coats, and that he could at least have asked politely anyway.

He went away with his tail between his legs. We laughed.

(We were dressed quite smartly and could, I suppose, have been mistaken for hall staff, except for the fact we'd been on stage for several hours playing for the audience, including this twunt, had he cared to notice).

Length? 7.30 until 11pm, as I remember.
