10 Disastrous Panels You Have Been on or Seen

Microphone Hog who will grab it every change he has. Always a he. Sad, but true.

This Paranormal event “Really Happened to Me” and the rest of the panelists will stare as they try to figure out if I'm just trying to really get into the character in my latest book or if I'm certifiable.

I'm only here to promote my book and you're not going to get me off-topic. No matter what question you ask, I will make sure that a scene from my book answers it.

I think that I have something interesting to say, but I've hooked my mouth up directly to the rambling section of my brain and it will just keep pouring out words until someone takes away the mic.

My bigotry comes out with every word I say. Give me a chance and I will make everyone cringe, and if anyone calls me on it, I will argue myself into a larger and larger pit.

Only Men are Intelligent. I won't admit I believe that, but everything I say and the way I look condescendingly at any women on the panel will prove it again and again.

Girls against the Guys because the guys have no idea what male privilege is and refuse to accept that they have it. Also, they don't see anything wrong with books with no female characters because “that's just what people want.”

Bombastic Jerk who is also Best-seller and thinks that everyone in the audience has come to hear him tell you about how awesome he and his books are.

Moderator looks ready to walk out (me on several panels) because no one actually answers the questions she asks and she is working so hard to try to get the panel to address the topic the audience came to hear about.

TMI about bodily functions and other nasty truths—seriously a panel is not the place to explain to us about your latest surgery. Not even in the introductions!
