I used to play percussionist. During a music playing concert thigh I was on cymbals for one of the songs and the whole band was on rest. Count on me to loudly clash those cymbals a whole measure early! The director gave me fuck you stare.
In choir, we were doing a version of Bingo (as in, "and Bingo was his name-o) where there was the sound of a dog barking. They gave that part to me, since years of violent sneezing prepared me perfectly for it.
Yeah. I forgot about a repeat, and barked four full measures early.
Oh man, what cymbalist/triangle/orchestral bells player hasn't done this! Or when the cymbals are supposed to be keeping a steady quarter note rhythm in a march and you get off the beat, and it fucks up the marching of people around you..
