Stupid Groupies.

Sign in to disble this ad
So I was in a bar the other day after playing a gig. Me and a couple of my band mates walked up to this group of girls who seemed pretty into the show and started chatting them up. One of them looks up at me and gets all snobbish "aren't you the bass player" to which I replyed "yeah." and continuing the attitude she retorts " don't you have stuff to load up. I mean don't you have to make yourself useful somehow".

Don't you just hate when this happens.

Nope, never encountered that.
and... they're only groupies if you tap 'em. Or if they load up a buffet for the band in the parking lot (those were good days...)
Otherwise, you're just a sour guy who didn't score.

Yeah, they weren't groupies. Groupies cater to you. This chick probably wouldn't have peed on you if you were on fire. However, I feel your pain. Being the musician and playing the instrument that holds it all together(if you're a solid bass player) is sometimes a thankless job and a glorious burden.

I was with a friend after school and we were debating whether bass or guitar was cooler. He was saying guitar was cooler. (PS, as it turns out, when you and your friend both stand there with instruments, you get alot of chicks noticing... but I digress...) So he decides to ask a girl passing us which was cooler. Her response:

"Guitar. What the hell is bass for anyway? It's just a guitar with four strings because you're too retarded to handle six and you don't know what a chord is."

I wish I b*tchslapped her when I had the chance...

Man...Im great at dissin' these type of folks and usually check them right away. If I was the op I would have fired back something like, "Dont you have anything better to do than hang out getting drunk in a bar like a whore? (wouldnt really mean it, but she'd feel it) Or even better is "Arent you the DUG?" (Designated Ugly Girl) so your friends look better? I treat everyone with respect...the first time, and will dish out what I get ten fold! Good or bad. Hate those type of people!

Just laugh and ask her how many instruments she plays. You know the answer's "zero" because if she did, she wouldn't have that attitude. When she actually says "zero," laugh again and say "Yeah, I know!"

Sounds to me like the chick watches Metalocalypse. My response would have been something like, "Hey, what's a girl like you doing in a nice place like this".

You should have told her to shut up and make you a grilled cheese.
