PSA: Don't be that guy.

This video speaks to every DJ's feels. Nearly every example provided in the video I've had asked of me in my 12 years DJing. Some make me cringe. Let me highlight a few:

  • Can you play that song again? I was at the bar. - No. Sorry you where the only one in the club that didn't hear that song. No one else wants to hear it again. Youtube it.
  • Can you play this off my phone? - NO! Two Part Answer: #1 My laptop connects to my turntables via a USB cord, not a 3.5mm cable. #2 The sound quality will totally suck and what happens if someone calls you why I idiotically play your song? Hope your ringtone isn't 'Call Me Maybe.' That would be embarrassing.
  • Can you hold my purse? - NOOOOOOO! #1 I'm not your personal coat rack. #2 I'm not going to be held responsible for missing crap that you drunkenly lost elsewhere. #3 There's coat check for a reason. Brilliant idea: Don't go out with a giant body bag-sized purse.
  • No body likes this song. - Correction, YOU don't like this song. YOU are the only one complaining.
  • You HAVE to restart this song. I just got here. - See example one.
  • Can you play my song next? We're about to leave. - Yahno. I'm not really in the mood to reward you and your crew for leaving to spend money elsewhere.
  • Can you play something we can twerk to? No. Twerking is stupid. Your momma won't be proud of your life choice.
  • Can you Youtube this song? See example two, minus the ringtone part.
  • Can I barrow your mic? NO! Trust me, no one wants to hear your drunk ass dog every note of their favorite song.
  • Can you play _____? Everyone will love it. If I've never heard of it, chances are you're the only one who will like it.

By the way, if you make a request to a DJ this weekend TIP THEM! You'll find money is far more persuasive than 'PRETTY PLEASE?' You're whiling to feed a jukebox money, but not a DJ?
