    in a restaurant or a bar, when you hear the crashing of dishes/glasses from the kitchen area or from behind the bar, and all the customers break out in applause. totally inappropriate but very funny


    I used to be a waitress and I HATED that (not that I was always dropping dishes and sh*t - I wasnt, honest).

    Oooh inappropriate clapping gets right up my nose. I HATE HATE HATE it when at comedy gigs the audience applauds a joke; why not just laugh your head off to show your appreciation? Applauding just WASTES TIME, idiots. Save it for the end!

    Another pet hate is the audience misreading the tone of a movie or worse, a play. I understand that in horror movies people laugh because they have a nervous reaction and that's fine. But sometimes you're watching a film that is both funny and sad and the audience laughs and claps uproariously during sad scenes because they are too dumb to notice that the tone has changed. ARGH.

    Went to see Da in the Gate recently (very enjoyable). Like that, it's both very funny and very sad - it's about a man coming to terms with the death of his father ffs. The idiots in the audience laughed their way through some very painful scenes...you could see the confusion on the faces of the actors. Urgh. This nation gets stupider with every year that passes. :mad:

    As we were walking up town, some guy collecting money calls out " Support Down's Syndrome", to us. Himself cheers and claps loudly:o Oh the shame...

    I imagine they were happy it was over?

    I was...the film was meh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,073 ✭✭✭Rubberlegs


    I wouldnt really class them as inappropriate times. When somebody is being lowered into a grave would be Inappropriate.

    I dunno, I started off a round of applause for my Dad after he'd been lowered down. It was quite nice actually:)

    I am one of those annoying people... after a film, when I have landed on a plane somewhere that I am excited to be... clapaholic!:D

    will never understand the concept of clapping,it looks like a person attempting a sea lion impression,identity crisis or what.

    People clapping when a plane lands seem to be confined to charter flights in my experience and done by people of a certain class who are flying off for a week in an Irish bar in the canaries wearing a dublin jersey.

    Very very odd.

    a. People are stupid
    b. If you fly Ryanair, you're happy you landed in one piece
    c. People are stupid.
    d. A combination of a,b,c

    erm, I'm not so clear on point A.

    I like to clap when the bus driver pulls into the square or when the taxi driver drops me home of a weekend.

    It's the inappropriate woo'ing that annoys me. Disgraceful carry on. Typical of the yanks though, they just can't resist...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,158 ✭✭✭Tayla



    Also I’ve been in cinemas where people clap at the end of films. Unless you’re at a film premiere or a film festival and the film was outstanding maybe but I mean there isn’t much call for clapping at the end of Dumb and Dumber 2 in Mullingar is there?


    l:

    I clapped at the film 'Real steel' :o

    My first experience of a movie in Boston. They dont only clap but give a running commentary through the movie. Very annoying having people cheer/applaud when you are trying to listen to the movie.

    In the whole running commentry at the movies, I was at one of the first few showings of the last Harry Potter, and people were openly weeping at certain parts of the movie. I also vividly remember Neville Longbottom doing something apparently heroic and the whole cinema erupted into applause. It felt like being at a football match when a team scores...


  • Registered Users Posts: 825 ✭✭✭Kev.OC


    I was at The Eye in Galway about 2 years ago to see The Expendables in a not terribly full cinema. Throughout the film there was much applause and cheering from pretty much everyone* there. Normally I wouldn't be in favour of this, but that film is awesome!

    *I should point out there was one woman in the cinema (in total, just the one), clearly dragged along, and I'm not sure she was terribly excited about being there.

    Clapping at the TV seems so retarded

    Clapping during a silence in a classical music concert when its not yet the interval is very inappropriate - it sort of spoils the moment and feels uncomfortable for most in attendance.

    When I leave the apartment in the morning after giving the quare wan I met the night before the shag of her life that she wakened the whole block with her screaming orgasm - and the neighbours are all clapping as i leave - that can be a bit embarrasing

    One piece just because its Ryanair? You'd swear they were some mad bunch of bastards that are just a bunch of lorry drivers that were shoved into planes!

    I remember in a class the demonstrator needed a volunteer. The class 'legend' called 'morrissey' (from a different group) got up to volunteer. This got a load of cheering and clapping and he hadnt even done anything yet.

    yes they have , they just have never fallen from the sky or had a fatality whilst in flight or during take off or landing , but many have skidded off runways or bumped into ground based objects , a child was unfortunately killed when falling from the steps up to the aircraft - this is why they now insist that they are held when boarding

    but your point is valid - many things annoy me about ryanair, but safety is not one of them.

    I like to clap when someone leaves toilet. I feel they deserve something for the effort ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,012 ✭✭✭Plazaman


    I hear ya OP, it's disgraceful and a dying art form. I remember the good old days when we used to be able to clap at funerals but nowadays everyone is so anal about a good round of applause as people are being planted.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,468 ✭✭✭Bigmac1euro


    I clap really rudely and inappropriately when my woman makes the dinner. Then I smash the plate afterwards and stand it into the ground then I clap again (the clean it up clap) and go to the pub


  • Moderators, Regional North East Moderators Posts: 12,739 Mod ✭✭✭✭cournioni


    Agreed on a lot of the stuff posted so far. One that irks me is the clapping at soccer matches, the fans clap at almost anything that happens on the pitch. String three passes together, clap. Shoot wide from 20 yards, clap. A bit daft if you ask me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 288 ✭✭Bricriu


    I ****ing abhor people who clap ALONG with the music when they are at a Traditional Irish music session. NOBODY who regularly goes to sessions claps ALONG. You clap at the end to show appreciation - that it, if it merits it.

    At a session, most of us want to listen to the music without enduring ignorant morons creating dissonant noise.

    You always know the idiots who have never been to a trad session before: they are sweating profusely trying to look as if they are enjoying themselves by clapping ALONG. Their only previous exposure to trad has been on the dreaded Late Late, or at a Wolfe Tones gig.

    Hang these 'Happy' Clappy c**nts!
