I don’t see a December rant thread, so perhaps I’m first. Went to a nice Christmas concert last night. A chamber orchestra doing some music you don’t ordinarily hear at this time of year. Everything was going fine until intermission, when some people changed seats to come and sit behind us. One of them was The Person Who Appreciates Music More Than Anyone Else. I became aware of him when intermission was over and the person who announces the musical numbers to be played came on stage. TPWAMMTAE started clapping his palms together with what I can only describe as noises approaching gunshots in volume. I actually jumped, then gave him a side-eye. He continued clapping until everyone else was done, then gave a couple more just to show what a great patron of the arts he is. She finished her spiel and the clapping started again, but this time I was prepared, and slid a fingertip into my left ear. Okay, yeah, it was my middle finger and I may have turned my head slightly so he could see it. At the end of the concert, he leapt to his feet, clapping and adding WOO-HOO! at intervals. What the fuck is with these sorts of people? LOOKAME! I LOVE MUSIC SO MUCH MORE THAN ANY OF YOU POSSIBLY COULD! Stick a fucking sock in it, pal. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ho-fucking-ho-december-mini-rants/993961)._
