Of course I can do that.
I've been in situations before where I've drop-tuned a guitar and had people get REALLY ANGRY with me.
It's not like I fucked their daughter.
It was their son.

It is annoying
Especially if there is no tuner to hand. Drop D-Tuing usually indicates:

Someone too lazy to learn proper bar chords.
Someone with bad taste in music (pop-punk heavily uses drop-d, so Blink182 and Bowling For Soup all the way)

Often they will not tune it down properly and also not tune it back!

I'm a bass player.
But don't own an acoustic bass.
And I've got a tuner in my bag.
And they'll get to hear my beautiful singing.

Why do you mention acoustic bass?

As I'm not gonna lug
An electric bass AND an amp around the tube with me!

I may be being Kaoltarded but what has this got to do with drop D-tuning?

Nothing.
Well... I can't play guitar.
So I wanna play and sing some songs tomorrow.
I can't play guitar, so I can drop-D the guitar and play really simple chords.

the people who get angry are obviously knobs
who gives a shit if one string is tuned down? can undo that in just a few seconds.
