    I hear ya OP, it's disgraceful and a dying art form. I remember the good old days when we used to be able to clap at funerals but nowadays everyone is so anal about a good round of applause as people are being planted.

    I clap really rudely and inappropriately when my woman makes the dinner. Then I smash the plate afterwards and stand it into the ground then I clap again (the clean it up clap) and go to the pub

    Agreed on a lot of the stuff posted so far. One that irks me is the clapping at soccer matches, the fans clap at almost anything that happens on the pitch. String three passes together, clap. Shoot wide from 20 yards, clap. A bit daft if you ask me.

    I ****ing abhor people who clap ALONG with the music when they are at a Traditional Irish music session. NOBODY who regularly goes to sessions claps ALONG. You clap at the end to show appreciation - that it, if it merits it.

    At a session, most of us want to listen to the music without enduring ignorant morons creating dissonant noise.

    You always know the idiots who have never been to a trad session before: they are sweating profusely trying to look as if they are enjoying themselves by clapping ALONG. Their only previous exposure to trad has been on the dreaded Late Late, or at a Wolfe Tones gig.

    Hang these 'Happy' Clappy c**nts!
