Be careful what you wish for.

People that call themselves musicians but don't know that without quiet there is no loud.

Annoying things? Not being able to play something you want to. Luckily I've been playing long enough not to face that one.

 

Pub landlords who treat you as an annoyance when you're bringing people into their pub.

 

Not sure we'd use the final word you use in your last post. Just saying.

It is a sociable instrument - not ideal for playing alone, but in a band you generally stand at the back and support the band. It isn't an instrument for showing off, people won't notice when you're doing it right - but they'll notice when you're doing it wrong. 

 

....I think it is guitarists that get made to play bass that'd get annoyed by that. 

 

(these are big generalisations though - obviously there are a few virtuoso bass players front and centre).

I'd ensure logs are seasoned at least a year, two for oak, and have a moisture content of below 20% before burning.

As for bass, you need a flashy one as it's all about showing off, so you'll need to stand at the front and slap it like there's no tomorrow, preferably while hiding any guitar players behind you.
