Christ - too many to mention
Managed to somehow flick the top of an up-fader off and send it flying into the crowd once which was pretty funny. Also seen the wind lift a record off the decks and leave a 3" cut on some poor punters face (he seemed quite happy about it though)
Not quite DJ related but one time years ago doing a party we had a power spike on the genny which blew everything up
Me: I didn't know you brought a smoke machine
Mate: I didn't
Both: SHIT!!!
Rig: BANG BANG POP POW BANG!

i've had a bloke telling me to play stuff people could dance to when the whole room's already dancing...
<gives a quick "heh" of recognition>
So many punters think that what they want is what everybody else wants... in which case they should be on the other side of the decks. 
I was playing me usual stuff at a housewarming once when I was asked by a lovely old geordie lady "have ye got any wham?" - I kind of wish I had, just for her. Then it would've been back to techno/tech-house. Ah well. At OCB once I managed, in a trashificated state, to think that the record I'd just mixed in was the one I'd just mixed out, and took it off the decks.
tbh I rarely ever mixed when trolleyed - I do like to mix properly, respond to the crowd properly, etc, and most of the time I can't do that on pills. Coke or speed, yes, but pills or booze, no. The last time I played out before retiring, at last June's HouseBreakin, I'd got really pissed then taken these pills that just knocked me out. I got woken at 1.55 am by a shake on the shoulder from a mate saying "you're on in 5 minutes!". So I kind of got up and did what by all accounts was a really good set - I remember getting all the mixes really tight, which I usually do actually, remember people in the crowd whooping, got really good feedback afterwards - but I did it all in a daze. My first ever sleep-DJing experience. It was all a bit automatic, and contributed to me deciding to retire. Ho hum.

Grandma Death said:I remember being in the middle of a 3 hour set and was just taking it up a peg or two with some quite tough techno and this clubber came up to me and said:
'Do you know that girl with the patch on her eye'
I looked around the club trying to see if I could spy this person and she added:
'No not in the club the singer'
Me: What Gabrielle?
Clubber: Yeh....thats her. Got anything by her?
Oh dear.

funniest dj moment\? Finding out that people get paid to play records...
**Lights Out runs**
**Lights Out runs**
Playing 'one way' by the levellers as a jokey tail end of my set, a closet levellers fan in the audience went absolutely fucking mental and pogoed all around the room, capsising many of the other revellers, before leaping like a startled salmon into the speaker stack and bringing everything crashing down
What's worse is I then had to protect the said levellers fan from a very severe bottling at the hands of the PA's owner...

At a party at Mango Mansions I was taking over from LD rudeboy. The CD decks were on top of each other rather than left and right. I knew I'd get them mixed up so I went to stick a piece of paper with a R on the right-hand deck. 'You don't need to do that.' said LDR, 'It's easy to remember which deck is which.' He then went on to eject the CD I'd just put on, instead of his one which had just finished!

Can I carry your record and knobhead boxes and get in for free?

I was playing a Country Set at one of the very first Offlines quite some time ago. Blagsta was to follow me and I played for my last tune a trance remix of "Touch My Bum" by the Cheeky Girls.
Because it took a while to recognise the song as it starts like any other trance rubbish before the vocals kick in, the fact that it had gone from Country to dance, and of course Blagsta was behind the decks by this stage getting ready to play and I had run off to the dance floor; Everyone thought it was Blagsta's first song and abused him accordingly. I stitched him up good and proper. The earache I got from afterwards confirmed this.

I was DJing at a mates party on NYE with my 20 month old son. He picked the records out of the box and I just played them in the order I recieved them

gets what he cant want
In the summer I was asked if I could "play it more like the radio".
At least they didn't ask for Metallica or U2, which usually happens...

lol - I remember one new years day night after we'd done a warehouse party NYE, sitting in this club and suddenly turning to my mate and asking him how much longer this fucking party was gonna go on for coz I was fucked and we'd still got to pack down and get the kit out... I was utterly convinced we were still in the warehouse for a good couple of minutes and had forgotten the fact the warehouse had been busted 18 hours earlier and I'd spent 5 hours packing down already. dohart of fact said:
