Re: Ways to annoy a sound guy


Naw, Jake, we just do that to the LX dept cables.  They never notice the difference if we just dump the cables in the caddy and jump up and down on them (we call it "the cable dance of love").  We'll make it fit even if we have to chop off those big metal ends... /sarcasm


Also I've never figured out how VDO guys can take such lousy care of their cabling.  It's common to see them sort through a hamper full of 5 wire to find a piece that has all the BNC connectors intact.  The cables are kinked up and never lay flat without large quantities of gaffer tape.  It's not like their work depends on it, eh?


Taking care of our toys is something the audio dept takes pride in.  The lampies, the video crew... just shit on their stuff and then complain to company management that they need replacements.
