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?

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.
