What's with people clapping at in appropriate times? You sir or ma'am, look like an idiot. I'm not talking about at a concert, clapping before the song is really over, belying the fact that you are a casual fan at best and don't really know the songs. Nor am I talking about inappropriately clapping for someones birthday at a restaurant after the staff sings happy birthday to them, or something awkward like that. I'm saying, why are you clapping after a 4th of July fireworks display is over? The pyrotechnicians who put on the display cannot hear your applause. Or at a movie theater. Why are you clapping when the movie is over? I understand you liked the film, I did too but neither the, director or actors nor the key grip, can hear your applause. Besides they only care about your ticket money or maybe a Oscar. So in keeping with lists here are several places where clapping is appropriate and several where it is not...
Appropriate: Sporting events experienced in person, speeches (political or otherwise), a play, protest rally, symphony etc.
Inappropriate: Movies, fireworks displays, sporting events experienced from your couch, I can't think of anymore but you get the idea. Rabble-B
