HOW IS IT THAT WE GET IT AND OTHERS DON'T HAVE A CLUE???

Question for richierich only

Who are the ones that don't have a clue ?

---

Dancefloor assholes that have no consideration for others that might be in the near vicinity on the dancefloor...

---

thanks.

richierich, just thinking about how the world is just getting more rude , not just the dancefloor


Even in the club, yet off the dancefloor, pure fools, I had a guy walk into me with a shoulder barge, yet there was plently of room either side, as he passed swinging his arms in a geezer bowl, I grabbed his thumb and snapped it up behind his back and made him apologise.

Afterwards, he explained that everyone had been bumping into him allnight, this was his excuse, I said "people have been bumping into me allnight but I haven't been doing it to others for the sake of it.


Quite direct action I took but I don't regret it, but I think people of recent times try to get away with murder, yet in the eighties, no one would want to bunp into anyone , because this country was more violent then, so people made sure they where mannered before going out the house.

I automatically think, INSECURE COUPLE ALERT, whenever I see two people all over each other. These same people are usually trying to grab a peek to see if anyone notices their "love".

Or, they are exhibitionists, who get pissy when they realize no one is paying any attention to them.

Yea it ain't no fun unless we all get some, GET A FREGGIN' ROOM!

Ya want a crowd you've got it!!

Yea, drink at the bar of off the freggin' dancefloor. I didn't take time to decide what I'm going to wear to have some idiot spill their drink on me, or burn me with their cigarrettes as they dance.

Hey and the dancefloor is for dancin' not standing there talking to your friends - dance or get off the floor.

---

Bravo!

---

Thank you!

By criticizing, and then supporting (citing "it was the DJ that brought me there"), a person is teaching an establishment how you want to be treated ...

"Get a hot DJ - they will come" (regardless of most other factors) ... If your stance is strong, and is truly representative of a huge group of people, then don't go ... how hard is that ? ...

A club will either suffer in the short/long run, or move on w/o being affected by your absence ... many of the venues eluded to above won't miss a beat ...

Most clubs (not to mention private and public organizations) put value in their BEST supporters - the ones that patronize the establishment the most often, and the ones that spend the most money ...

-> go once every 2 months b/c of a DJ, your input will fall on deaf ears (and should)
-> go every week, people might start listening to you, and change for you ... b/c you are a valued supporter, rather than an infrequent but vocal detractor

Amen to that!

Here's a rule for ya, when touching someone on the dancefloor as in "excuse me, I need to get by" use an OPEN palm. Tapping/moving/pushing someone over with the back of your hand is rude and unnecessarily aggressive, its the little things that count on the floor

I'll leave that up to you to decide which factoids listed above, are important to a nightclub ...

As far as qualifying to voice an opinion - I can't answer that either - c'mon now, why even ask?

The first "coupling" appeared on page #1 of this thread - posted by you if I'm not mistaken - the reaching out for a DJ's opinion to complement this dancefloor etiquite discussion ...

* please correct me if I'm wrong, and I will gladly admit my misinterpretation ...

This technique is quite affective too. Or gently brush your finger tips lightly on there arm or upper back. This is another unspoken rule.
