Live PAs can be like that. 2 of my live PA memories: a gig where a drunk guy kept jumping in front of the keyboards and screaming at me "play some beats! play some beats!" (and i intended on bringing in some beats, i just wasn't working on his schedule :)) and a different gig, where, like yours, some people didn't "get" that i was doing a live PA with gear and not spinning records. at one point during my PA, two women were just about to, literally sit down on one of my keyboards that was right beside me on a table. i had to turn and say "um, i'm trying to do a live set here and you can't sit down on my gear, thanks very much". andrew duke :)
