You wouldn't have these problems if you weren't a criminal. Marijuana is a crime. Tokers are jokers.

Smelly burps work just as well, and they can be aimed fairly accurately.

noxious clouds of cigarette smoke are by far the best, and you can aim them like a blow-dart
 
 ill be able to put my grandkids on my knee and tell them about how grandpa was once able to smoke in clubs in an effort to regulate anti-social behavior ... sigh ...
 
 btw, please no one tell on me to badsushi, i might get banned from the club / jacked in the face

It's a great way to gain yourself some space in a crowded room.

I'm pretty sure you have no difficulty in getting people to get away from you as quickly as possible just being being yourself, Charlie.

This specifically came up recently in an "Applause" thread on the AMS listserve (American Musicological Society). But I lost track so I don't know what the consensus was.

When I saw it performed at the KC by the Cleveland Orchestra, the conductor just swept right on through not giving anyone a chance to applaud, cough or even move a muscle.  I think it is accepted, but I think if it can be avoided, it will be.  The cause of the 'rude' applause is that the quiet ending of the 3rd movement is mistaken as the symphony's ending.  So the applause is still a faux pas and I guess if the conductor can prevent it, he/she will.

The third movement ends moderately loud and fast; the movement is marked Allegro molto vivace (very fast and lively). It's the "triumphant" nature of the movement's ending that elicits applause, plus the overall tone sounds like a final movement. In a typical four-movement symphony, the third is typically a scherzo, which this particular movement is definitely not. What gives the symphony its "Pathetique" nickname is the fourth and final movement, marked Adagio lamentoso (slow and profoundly sad). Most recordings have a typical few seconds pause between the movements. On a recording of the work by Sergiu Celibidache (live, of course), the conductor takes a Mahlerian pause between the movements, and it sounds just right.

Clearly I am still learning, but thank you for making it clear to me.

That'd be hilarious to have a Dee Dee Ramone guy conducting the orchestra so he could yell ONETWOTHREEFOUR between movements

I'm 6" even, and for some shows, I definitely want to be up front, so I make the effort of getting there early in line to be guaranteed this spot. When smaller/shorter people come up behind me, I generally tell them to try their best not to stand behind me, and I'll try and set up windows between me and the person I'm standing next to, but aside from that, I make NO accommodations to shorter people when I'm on the barricade. I feel that if you're short and you know you want to be up front, make that much more of an effort to be there early and near the front of the line. Womp womp.

This is under the "must" portion and not the "don't" portion, right?
