Today, I went to work at a hotel. One of the guests decided to play the piano in the lobby. He's deaf. Unfortunately, I'm not. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a deaf customer came to my work. In an attempt to connect with him I introduced myself in sign language. He just rolled his eyes and pointed at my name tag. FML
Today, I was at a local talent show and during a piano performance I had to go to the bathroom. I sang along in the bathroom but was unaware how loud I was until I walked out and everyone started applauding me while the pianist was still playing. FML
Today, after I'd told this girl I’m seeing that I play piano to impress her, it turns out her father is a pianist and has a grand piano in their house. Tonight, I’m supposed to go to her place to play her my "favorite piece." FML
Today, I had lunch with some important potential clients at a fancy restaurant. I really wanted to make a good impression. When the piano music stopped, I started clapping while looking around for the pianist. Apparently, it was a CD. FML
Today, I woke up with laryngitis. I just got hired as a waitress. Tomorrow is opening day, the restaurant plays loud music and I can't speak any louder than a whisper. FML
Today, I was at work as a musician, sitting on a piano bench. Suddenly, I found myself at eye-level with the piano, dumped on the floor by the broken bench, with my legs splayed out. I felt like I picked the wrong day to wear a skirt to work - but the audience members all disagreed. FML
Today, I was unloading things into a hotel. As I went to get a bag out in the hallway, the room door closed and I had no key. When I knocked and asked my family to let me back in, no one answered. The doors are clearly not soundproof. I could hear them debating whether or not to let me back in. FML
Today, I went to work as a home health-aid, and found out that my client turns his hearing aid off on purpose because he can't stand my voice. FML
Today, I was playing piano for a wedding rehearsal. Bored, I decided to pass the time playing through a book of music I found in the piano bench. Some time later the bride turned to me and screamed at me to stop. I had turned the page and had begun to play "Let's Call The Whole Thing Off." FML
Today, at my job as a hotel housekeeper, I accidentally entered the room of someone who hadn't left yet. To my horror, the man inside was having a massive heart attack. I just found out he passed away, despite immediate medical intervention. FML

Some just can't Handel the music, don't worry it'll be Bach.

Hopefully he won't come Bach tomorrow.

The OP should start Haydn in some other part of the hotel.

That would be such a-- Pianist move. :P

I hope you are guest services and had to listen the whole time .. You deserved it :)

For what? For talking about the guy's deafness? You know, some people are deaf, and some people can't play the piano well. This guy was both. Deal with it.

And yet thousands of composers with full hearing write shit that nobody ever plays.

Many hotels have a policy forbidding guests from playing the lobby piano. Either enforce yours or improvise such a policy.

Or just slam the lid on his fingers.

#45, enforcement with gusto! That's what I'm talkin' about.

"You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend And you say he's just a friend" ***I can't say I'm not tempered to play this Biz Markie gem every time I pass a random piano. :P

): I'm sorry. Got that song stuck in your head now, huh? How 'bout we all envision November Rain's piano chords for the next few minutes instead?(:

#34, I just brought up Rebecca Black's "Friday" on YouTube. Good luck trying to blast Beethoven in your ears while the memory of that abomination infects your brain.
Enslaved 38
After reading your profile, I have no doubt that you are indeed doing that. (:

#36, how did you figure that? I didn't post that I am obsessed with Rebecca Black . . . oops! #39, wise move. Let me tell you how horrible that song is. I heard of "Friday" before I heard the song itself. Then, I heard this obvious parody where a girl with a nasally drone butchers the song -- it wasn't a parody!

To be fair Justin does not make the music, he is only the front that sings it.

At least there was no singing!!

Am I the only one who read OP's name 'Torture Dears'?

#40 ~> Anyway, he's a piece of shit.

That's a little harsh.
