So we'd been at the footy on Saturday night, and wanting to head out... so we were pretty sauced up, and while we were lining up to get in, My 3 mates and I agreed that we would say we had only 4 drinks (yeah right) if quizzed by the bouncer on entry

Bouncer: How many people in your party?

My Mate: Four Drinks

Bouncer: I asked how many people in your party and I think you have had more than four drinks...

    Im volunteer security at a venue. And some things you dont want to say are "im not with the band", "can i get in free", "let me in please, I wont tell anyone", if you arent in the band or arent with the band and you walk into the area reserved for staff and band thats another no no, or if you arent in the band and you are drunk or high.

    I don't know about things to say to a bouncer to get into a bar, but I know a few you shouldn't say when they want you to leave. :lol: :fp:

    One thing you never want to do:

    If being escorted out (after being a dick), never tear your shirt off and square off with the bouncer while saying "Let's fucking do this". Because if you do, you are likely to hear "tale him down" over the bouncer's walkie talkie and then, seemingly out of thin air as if there is some sort of magic bouncer waiting area, 6 (yes, 6) bouncers will beat the living piss out of you at the same time, to ensure they protect their own. It seemed like overkill, but it also seemed necessary.

    It was in NYC a few years ago while we were out for my bachelor party. No, it was not one of the members of our crew. Yes, the guy got the snot beat out of him. Yes, he was a complete douche and deserved it.

    I will say this about a friend of mine who sadly passed away last year at the age of 25, he and his friend were getting kicked out of a bar and they were fighting the bouncers.. Now my friend was a big guy, covered in tattoos, always up for a fight but had a big heart...

    Anyway, after getting taken down by several islanders (80% of our security guards are pacific Islanders, big guys), he looked back to see his mate still getting beat up, so my friend, took off his belt, and ran in whipping the security so his friend could get away... I have never heard of someone whipping security...

    Now that was a story and may he R.I.P

    I was pretty hammered when I told a short-assed bouncer outside a bar in Helsinki last year that he should give the over-sized coat he was wearing back to his big brother. He then landed one on my chin. I didn't flinch, but sized up the situation and figured that just me against 3 big bouncers and the short-ass wasn't a fair match. Suffice to say, I didn't have a drink in that particular bar that night. And I like to think he did more damage to his hand than to my chin.

    a friend's dad was a bouncer for something like.... his whole life. he is one badass customer. he lifted weights like an animal would. just pick up ridiculous weights and throw them around. he always had a pot belly like thing going on. and hard as a rock and like a boulder.

    he took on 3 darker colored men who had ballbats. he fought them the best he could for something like 20 minutes until (state name) state patrol got to the scene. they hospitalized my dude's dad for a long time. not a good idea that those three didn't just kill (!@%$#) yes he has a girl's name. (!@#$#) can also be a man's name, i see no one telling (!@#$) any different.

    when released from the hospital he systematically hunted down each one of those guys and beat the living snot out of them within millimeters of death im sure. broken bones, stomped in ribs, teeth kicked in. im sure it was a mess 3 times over.

    (!@#@) is a fucking hero around here and treated like a saint. he has protected strippers for 40 odd years. and he is one of the toughest and kindest men alive.

    I had a run-in with a bouncer once, not realizing he was the bouncer.

    Walked to the outside section through the back door. I heard some big ass dude (who was sitting down) tell me to "Close the damn door". For some reason, being yelled at like that set me off and I just turned to him and said, "Why don't you get off your big ass and fucking close it?" And he gave me a weird look and started laughing, to which I replied, "Were you born in a fucking barn man?"

    Didn't end too well. (no violence as I'm a girl, which was one positive thing that came out of it)

    I've had some fun run-in's with bouncers over the years... fortunately none of them have wound up with me getting my head kicked in...

    some of my favorites:

    watching a short, tank of a man I used to play rugby with knock a huge bouncer unconcious with 1 punch. My rugby buddy was a full back, maybe 5'8"... the bouncer was like 6'4"... my buddy and the bouncer squared off on the street outside, my buddy stood on the curb, jumped about 8 inches in the air, and cracked the bouncer square in the temple... one punch, bouncer was out cold junk. buddy ran off, ambulence collected the bouncer.

    another time i was underage and with my other buddy who was underage. my buddy pat had his older brother's ID trying to get into the club. this mouse of a girl checking ID's says it's not him and confiscates his ID. Pat loses it, screams at the girl for about 5 minutes. Bouncer does nothing and then says "hey, there's a cop, you want it back, get him to give it back"... so Pat, goes and gets the cop and the cop actually gives it back!!! :lol::lol: And on top of that, pat says to the cop "well I certainly don't want to go into this place now, make her give me my money back!" the cop does.... funny thing is, Pat never paid cover.

    Icing on the cake for that one was 6 years later I'm dating a girl, tell her that story, and find out she was the chick who tried to confiscate the ID!! :lol:... she said she never worked at that bar again after that night :lol:

    I wonder what bouncers do with drunk people. We were at a venue that holds about 1,500 people in May to see Slash. A bouncer was escorting a very drunk female out, she could not walk straight. So, did he throw her out or call her a taxi? I was curious if he just left her there outside of the venue, to pass out all alone.

    Had a good friend say this to a bouncer: "Is that a beard or a beaver on your face?"
    The bouncer was about 6'5" and 220 lbs of solid muscle. Needless to say the only one laughing was my friend, the giggles where cut short when the bouncer clocked him in the face.
