In MY case. it was always a male. I don't have a problem with  
females. (Mainly because I have always been Mr. Cellophane to them).  
I have been infuriated countless times.

Here's a for instance. It was 2005. I was going on first and was  
supposed to go over my music first, rehearse with the band first, and  
do my sound check first. The person going on third somehow conned his  
way into being first, used up 66 minutes of the 1 HOUR rehearsal time  
to go over his 44 minute show. Do the math. :) So, I got NO  
rehearsal. Then at the sound check, he wanted to go over every single  
tune he was going to do.
Disgusted, I asked "Do you have sound?, do these mikes work?, Ok, see  
ya later". I went on that night stone cold UN-rehearsed, was mad  
enough to chew railroad spikes, and I KILLED.

It was 2007, and the same thing happened. I went on furious. I  
KILLED. I reason that from now on, what I need is someone to  
aggravate REAL good.
