I had my share of the same annoying people. As the years went by I matured and learned what they were trying to do. Some just wanted to be important. Yes, I'm sure we've all had to deal with annoying people, especially those that interrupt you to talk to you while you're playing/singing. As much as I hate it when people do that, I accept that i's going to happen, and I tend to think it just a way that some people actually show their appreciation and acknowledgement of your music. On another somewhat related point, that's one reason I prefer style play over pre recorded/sequenced tracks when performing live. When someone has the need to speak to you while you are performing, you can at least just kind of vamp and stop singing if necessary. Actually to most your a DJ in their eyes so coming up and talking no matter what your doing is normal to the majority of audiences in small gigs as you are on the floor at their level for easy access.......you'd have to be on a stage or in a concert venue to alleviate that...otherwise it's requests, chit chat, questions,drunks, drink spills, bumps, & annoyance all night long.

Nah! I use a Havahart electric fence to keep the squirrels off my bird feeder. It puts out about 800 volts, but very low current and in one second bursts. I rigged it my stapling four strips of brazing rod on my railing just beneath the feeder. The zap sends the critters about 5 feet in the air, they land on their feet and wonder what hit them. They only do this once of twice, then never approach the feeder again. You can always tell when there's a new guy in town - WHAM! I've had people inadvertently touch the wires, they said it was more scary than hurtful. No problems. All the best, Gary
