Interactions with scumbags on nights out

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

What's the best way to deal with them? Ninja kick to the balls maybe?

Was out last night, standing chatting someone by the dance floor, half watching my friends drink as he was dancing. This fool stumbling and falling and pushing into people walked over and took up my friends drink and was about to lash into it. He was rough enough, so I just asked him to leave it down it wasn't his. Well the abuse! He pointed out that I should fuck off, that I had a drink, that what he did was none of my business, and was there trying to pull the inbred hump out of his back stretching himself up to full size.

Several of his friends said to me to leave him off with it cause he was drunk, but by now it was about more than the drink.

Since when did it become ok to steal drinks and square up to women and have it brushed off as it's ok he's just drunk?

Alas, when you live in a town as utterly depressing as mine, there is nowhere else still serving after 12:30. Needs must and all that!

No, I was considering throwing my drink on him, he looked like he could do with a wash. Then my friend saw what was happening and came over, and he scurried off like a little rat.

Yeah, he was probably just flirting with you. If you hadn't been so worried about a silly drink you could have gotten lucky that night.

Ah nothing is a surer way to calm down a drunk scumbag than throwing a drink over them...... Perfectly logical

Well there's a couple of options so, go to bouncer, go out with a male friend or learn martial arts. Sorted.

I was out with a male friend who's mad into his judo, 2/3 not bad! Don't know, do people go up to bouncers and tell tales?

If my girlfriend was out without me and was getting hassled I would advise her to say something to a bouncer.

Bring a glass tothe toilet, pee in it, let it get cold leave it on your table and let the scum bag steal that. Lovely jubbly.

Some people just can't handle their drink. Few pints or whatever into them and they get very aggressive. Shouldn't be allowed drink, simple as.

Hail 2 Da Chimp

Tell the bouncer he's trying to steal drinks and he's being very aggressive.

More than likely he'll start giving the bouncers **** and then they'll throw him out. Either way he won't be your problem anymore and you can enjoy the rest of your night.

Run a mile from a girl who likes to watch drunk guys get lairy and aggro.
Though I suspect you know that already.

I know a guy who did this after 2 of his double vodka redbull's were nicked, i thought it was a pretty disgusting thing to do, he was just standing there with a glass full of piss in his hand for about 2/3 mins, then he just said "watch this", he put it down and we turned around, about 2mins later we turned back and it was gone. He was delighted, as far as he was concerned some scanger got a mouthful of piss for his troubles.

It was funny as fúck though

There's always one who makes these crazy generalisations! What you posted ain't true sorry to inform you!

big break

I was a young lad too wasted to find the toilets in the dance tent in oxegen a few years ago.
Terrible behaviour I know.
Ifound a quiet corner and peed in a bottle of water I had and left it there. A few minutes later some wild countryman was jumping around glugging it.
Sudds forming as he jumped up and down.
I didnt mean it to go down like that but it was funny.

biko

My friends left some drinks on a table as they went off dancing.
When they got back XXX took a swig of her pint without looking.
Someone had puked in it...

Drink at home

- Your favourite drink at low low prices
- Your favourite music all night long
- No need for a taxi to get home
- Food at your fingertips
- No scumbags (unless you share a house with scumbags or are one)

Meritocracy Wins

I really wish we could treat drink with respect. Having been around the world and observed how others use drink as part of a social gathering rather than a method to get drunk, we should be embarrassed.

* we as a collective, *we may not be everyone.

Can i come over?

Irishcrx

Ah yes, Scumbags on a night out. It's hard enough for them to deal with life when sober nevermind a conversation when drunk. As said don't bother , drink in better places. I remember having a conversation once with a Celtic fan (Aren't they all Celtic or Rangers) as I'd talk to a wall about football with a few on me. Went something along the lines of?

Him: So whodya folla Celtic or the proddy scum?
Me: Don't really follow Scottish football TBH , quality is crap..
Him: Wydya bleeerrrrrin mean , it's only rapid....****ing proddy scumbags!
Me: It's not meant to about that , it's about he football mate, Prodestant arguement is rubbish , do you follow a Premier League team?
Him: ****in Liverpool mate , only a red blah blah
Me: Right , so you follow Celtic because you hate the proddy's but you follow Liverpool as well, do you think there a catholic based side or Prodestant?
Him: Wha?
Me: Well their English aren't they?
Him: Comeahere yooouuuu, I'll bleeerrrrriiiinnn streeeeellllll outta ya!!!

What a sexist comment..... Women are equal to men.

What's that? so you'll be out with the excavator in the morning? :rolleyes:.

Change where you drink, best advice.

Sexist? That's what I was told last night!
When I asked scumbag 1s friend, scumbag 2 to remove his scumbag friend from in front of my face, I was told "he's not a scumbag, robbing drinks does not make you a scumbag", and I said sorry it actually does, as does squaring up to a woman on a night out I was met with "he's only drunk".

Well that's okay then.

the purple tin

Only a fool leaves a drink unattended and then goes back to finish it, for obvious reasons. Finish your drink then go for a dance then buy another drink.

I agree but I was minding the drinks! I would often leave my friends minding my drink too.

Back when I was young(aeons ago) none of us used to drink as it lowered your ability to err, defend yourself. Diet Coke all the way+gym+nice clothes to look more "innocenter". We used to be quite cheery when someone ambled up to steal our/our mates drinks as it usually provided a reason for some excercise. On the upside, girls/friends who were out with us never got any/much/any length of time of aggro.

Be wary whose drink you're stealing Mr scumbag, there's always a bigger scumbag just waiting for an excuse to play.:)

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

So basically you went out looking for a fight?!

Aced_Up

Just don't react. People who have consumed alcohol become unpredictable.

Be the bigger man, walk away.

When I was 18 I was at a mate's house playing cards and having a few drinks when a bouncer came strutting through the kitchen door (earpiece and all) and told us all to fuck off. I had no idea what the hell was going on so just left with the rest.

It was only the next morning I was told my mate's sister was in bed upstairs and had texted her boyfriend, who was a bouncer, to come over and kick us out.

It was a very surreal experience.

This. Absolutely.



Then follow them home, if you can stand the smell, and burn their fucking house down.

Haha, that reminds me of someone I know last Halloween, he was driving around his pride and joy when some drunk idiot threw something at the car. The guy knew the guy who threw it, and went to his house the next morning.
The guy that had been drunk the night before answered the door and there's your man standing there with a baseball bat.

Some people are just nutters

No, they give out about the scumbags on the internet instead. That'll learn 'em.

Oh. Wait...

People also become unpredictable when they catch somebody stealing their drink, and I most certainly will not walk away after paying €5 for my drink only to watch some freeloading píss ant knock it back. They need to be made aware that there are consequences for stealing things that do not belong to them. It's usually instilled in childhood. You'd think they'd definitely know by now.

I'll quite happily bring them down to my size. It's never happened to me though, I usually only get felt up by drunk people. So much so that it's like one of those "rebirth" ceremonies just to GET a drink at the bar in the first place! :pac:

In Cheers Club years ago in Limerick

Scumbag: Are you looking at my girlfriend
Me: No man
Scumbag: Why!? Is she ugly?

That was my cue to leave :pac:

JJayoo

Piss in a glass and leave it beside the drink stealer, then go into David attenborough mode and observe.

I was out a couple of years ago in Dublin in a fairly popular pub on Camden St and there were two guys who didn't know each other but who were obviously fairly well on and performing some type of dance off each other.

One guy was on his own and the other fella had another friend with him. The guy who was on his own's phone flew out of his pocket and the guy from the other group picked it up and put it in his pocket. So I said it to the guy and asked him did he have his phone?Obviously he said no and I pointed over at your man. The guy came over to me and started getting aggro so I just said I know you have it but I wasn't getting involved further so I took a step back.

Key learning from this. Don't call anyone out yourself, say it to a bouncer. It's not worth the hassle. I'm well able to look after myself but you don't need to be getting involved. The guy ended up getting a few digs for his troubles and was still minus a phone because he didn't just say it to a bouncer and confronted the other person. I should have probably informed the bouncer before the victim but you learn from these things.
