Put biohazard tape around the booth so no one can get close enough to make a request lol

Sometimes I will play whatever is requested if it's....reasonable and if I can mix out of it.

What I used to do, when one of my friends was spinning, is take the requests instead of him .

I would either tell them, yes or no, depending if I liked the tune or not. Just so that the DJ could keep on spinning.

After the guy or girl passed his request to me, I would either go to my friend to laugh or really ask for the tune. But only when he was not beatmatching or handling a transition.

Well, you gotta spin to the boozed up morons in a club, cause, well, they drink and then you get paid.

Another idea is the request list. I love this little tool. When I don't want to be bothered I just tell them to write it down and I'll look at it. Make a point to look at it, especially if you aren't going to play anything off of it.

Also, having someone there to take requests is a good idea, as Tekki recommended.

HAHAHAAHA, every dj should just play this at the very beginning of every set so all the punters know the rules

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! I could just picture that in a comedy skit or something, everytime that one guy that comes to ask for a request, as he's walking towards the booth, you have that song cued up, look him straight dead in the eye and press play......then he walks away. LOL
