Meatheads on the door

    Is anybody else sick of these meatheads that are on the door of every shop/pub/train station/public building and so on.

    The tossers look everyone up and down as if they are criminals, and these are the creeps who are so dumb that THEY are manning a door all day.

    If I wanted to rob, I would just put on a decent set of clothes and steal all around me. They would never suspect a thing as they watch the "chavs" in their hoodies.

    I have lately refused to answer any of the normal questions on a night out.

    Meathead: "where are we coming from tonight girls".
    Gem : "none of your business".

    Ah come on they are just doing their jobs.I agree with you to an extent in that its strange that if you are wearing a tracksuit you are automaticaly labeled a scobe.There is more to people than what they wear.I suppose they are just working on statistics though in that there is many people in tracksuits who rob.That doesnt change the fact,however, that you can be a thief no matter what you wear.There are some people in my year who steal even though they are from very wealthy families.Regarding bouncers though,I dont think they actualy care where you are coming from they just want you to speak so that they know that you are not locked.

    Mad and old that I am, I would have though 'not coming in here' would have been included in the rant were that the case. Maybe its hangover and too much cafienne and sausage roll next morning.....

    Maybe you should be nice to the bouncers. That way they might let you into a club and you could dance off some off those excess pounds that you've been piling on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,689 ✭✭✭Vain


    :D Shes banned now. Looks like the meatheads in here didnt like her either:pac:

    Can you elaborate on this a little because, well, I haven't a clue what you are on about :p

    Well hearing
    where are we coming from tonight girls".
    doesn't strike me as reason to rant about bouncers, therefore I was thinking it was more of a mental hissy fit caused by a hangover, coffee and sausage roll (for soakage).

    Ah come on they are just doing their jobs.

    Usually they are just being arseholes because they can. I've met very few bouncers who aren't there just to be arseholes to blokes and to try and chat drunk women up.

    As I don't go to nightclubs anymore (mostly because of the hassle it was to get in anywhere) I don't know if it's changed, but when I was going out in town I heard some of the stupidest excuses to not be pet in anywhere.

    I'd go out well dressed, sober, (would have to, after being refused previously for wearing runners/jeans/ not wearing a shirt etc), with 2 or 3 of my mates. We'd usually have to go up on our own, 5 minutes apart, and would still get hassle.

    some of the more memorable excuses myself or my friends got after someone else was let in:
    "It's couples night"
    "it's IBM night"
    "I barred you last week" (on the opening night of a new pub, to a friend just after two of us had already gotten in)
    "you don't look 21" despite being 25 with my passport, and being fairly regular at that venue.

    A bunch of power tripping idiots who justify their existence by being arsey just because they can.

    "it's IBM night"

    Sorry bud - robots only tonight, yeah?

    When I was a lad I couldn't get in anywhere.
    I absolutely hated those boucers, thinking they're great
    with their suits and fancy FBI style radios.

    They always seemed to get in my face and sneer and try to provoke.
    You'd have to have a bit of a go back, just to stand up for yourself like.
    I was always in the right though, they were always the ones who started it.

    That was then and this is now, and now these problems exist no more.
    Perhaps all the bouncers have improved their attitudes or perhaps
    I realised that
    they were testing me rather than just antagonising me.
    At the end of the day, would you really want someone to be allowed into a heavy drinking environment
    after they'd demonstrated their ability to lose it and fly off the handle at the slightest things?

    I used to feel that the bouncers were the agressors and were the ones responsible for the people you'd see outside
    abusing them and starting on them.
    But surely these punters would be liable to lose it alot more
    if someone say, accidently spilled a pint on them or something.

    Now I know that plenty of bouncers can have a poor attitude but I think
    it's fair to say that alot of people bring it on themselves because of their attitude.
    I think that generally, when you walk up to a bouncer you have already established how the conversation
    is going to go before you even open your mouth.

    A wiseman and friend of mine once gave this line to a bouncer who wouldnt let him in somewhere:

    "You control a door, your job is this door you dont even have a desk you have a door, You have a **** life actually you have a ****e ya ****ing dickhead your a nobody and a failure"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,738 ✭✭✭Naos


    And sitting at a desk doing a sh1t monotonus job 8 hours a day 5 days a week is any better?

    Your friend sounds like an arseh0le. If he'd say something like that to a group of lads that are more than likely bigger than him, what would he say to customer inside the club?

    Good call on the bouncers behalf that.

    Doesn't sound very wise...

    Don't people realise that by giving a bouncer grief for not letting you in somewhere or for having the audacity to ask you a question (ON NO!!!!) that you're merely confirming in their mind that you are a f*cking annoying little sh*t and insuring that not only are you not getting in tonight but chances are they'll give you hassle every time you show up at the door.

    Smile, answer their questions and be reasonable. It's not really that hard for f*ck's sake? :rolleyes:

    Actually, I'd never have a go at the bouncer, for the simple reason that if they are going to be arseholes they are looking for any reason to justify their decisions. I'd just walk away and spend my money in places where the people at the door weren't arseholes and never return to the venue.

    ah, the lickle celtic cubs hearing the word, NO for the first time

    how cute


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 199 ✭✭sub-x


    LMFAO.

    Would these be the same meat head bouncers that you would run to in a club/pub if say for instance your bag was robbed,or you were getting the **** kicked out of you maybe ???

    Heres the plain and simple fact most people that are full of beer are arseholes,I have seen the most rational,sensible people turn into obnoxious,loud mouth arseholes who think they are better than everyone else and some how feel they have a right to do and say what they like because they are putting money over the bar,as if this somehow becomes there right to be arseholes.

    Yes there are arsehole doormen out there,but there are far less arsehole doormen out there compared to the amount of arsehole punters.

    Meathead: "where are we coming from tonight girls".
    Gem : "none of your business".

    Result: one less mascare smeared, tear eyed, red cheeked woman he has to remove off the ground.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,919 ✭✭✭Schism


    Oh no you didn't get into a club. It's the bouncers discretion whether you get in or not, there was probably a good reason, why would they refuse business these days?

    Most bouncers I find are decent, if you behave civilly they'll treat you with civility.

    Anyways bouncers need to learn from the internet, tits or gtfo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,776 ✭✭✭Noopti


    I remember one of the Ricky Gervais podcasts they were discussing how Steve Merchant wasn't allowed in to some club, and how Steve went back to try and argue with him. I can't really remember the exact dialogue but Gervais said something about how crazy it is when people try and tie the bouncers up in logic, and how of course that would get them in the club!
    Because a bouncer loves nothing more then being made look like an idiot.

    .....you had to be there.....
