I went to a concert last year and there was a moment of the audience clapping above their heads. There were two ladies who didn’t know quite when to stop. They both urged people around them to carry on clapping but no one acquiesced. It then became more and more awkward as they couldn’t gracefully stop but instead both drifted out of time over another verse and chorus.

It's amazingly annoying isn't it. I have a Pavlovian response to the intro of Strictly because of that fucking"oi!" shout in the first few bars but mainly because of the incredibly pedestrian clapping with the theme tune.
Clapping.
Specifically, the sort of synchronised clapping that people feel compelled to do to accompany live music.
Fuck off you simpleton fucks.
In particular the lady in the row in front, who also talks to her neighbours in an everybody-should-listen-to-this voice.
I hope you go to the loo and they've run out of paper.
