The notoriously loud Surf Report once played at a Library. I bet you can figure
out how that went!
We were also un-invited from a punk-rock joint called LiveWire because the
first (and only) time we played there we were loud. Over the next 6 years of
asking to get gigs there, the owner only remembered that we played really loud,
and wouldn't book us.
But my favorite image of being asked to turn down came from some our first
regular gig at Hennessey's Tavern - a bar/restaraunt, where the manager would
simply come out and wave the universal (and highly motivating) "Thumbs-Down"
sign.
Surf Report also played (once) to blue-hairs at a hotel restaraunt, who
promptly sucked-down their complementary drinks and split when we started
playing. This pissed-off the manager, so he shafted us out of the free hotel
rooms and bar-tab we had negoitiated earlier (but not gotten in writing.)
...Not to mention the broken bass string on the first note of one gig - with
no replacement strings - so we just packed-up and left.
