    Hi id like to ask for some opinions on this..
    I was going to a well known club with a shared beer garden on harcourt street.I had drank admitedly a bit too much:o
    but anyway when I got to this club i was refused entry because I didnt have a ticket,which i didnt know was needed, which was fair enough but then the guy called me a rat and they all had a good laugh so i said that one of them laughed like a girl(very high pitched).. then he started to get angry... anyway my question is if you were a bouncer and I came to that club 2 weeks later... would you let me in,would you remember?
    sorry... bit worried:(

    Yes, we remember everyone that acts the cúnt

    I've done a bit on doors in my time and i have to admit, its alot easier than people think to remember faces. Thats no reason not to try but don't count on him just forgetting what you look like, especially after only 2 weeks

    If you do indeed have prominent rat like features then they probably will.

    Shave the whiskers, leave the big block of cheese at home, were a urinal cathider and stick your big spooky tail inside your trousers before you give it another bash.

    It would depend how much coke I'd done the first night.

    Also, I'd be just doing my job son.

    Hop into a cardboard box and run right past him. If it works for solid snake, it'll work for you.

    Or tap on a wall at the side of the Drinkery... that should get his attention then you can slip inside unnoticed.

    anyone have any suggestions as to how one would go about grovelling with the bouncer to let you in... would this work?:o:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    Perhaps consider going to one of the million other pubs in Dubin instead?

    Thanks buddy!


    If I were trying to gain entry into a nightclub after being kicked out not two weeks before I would try and have an incredibly distracting physical trait that does not involve looking like a rat to fool those bouncers. Perhaps fake an amputated arm. Points to both a regimental history and melancholic outlook that appeals to many bouncers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,779 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    Try to get in sometime in the meantime, if he says no, smile, be polite, leave. Then when you need to get in, this might be what he remembers.

    That said, as far as I know, bouncers are extrmely unpredictable, so anything's possible.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    What do you do if you see an Exclamation Mark? This obvious will happen in the third person.

    First things first, are you in reality a rat? If so, try not being a rat and see how that works out.

    If however you are indeed human and do not resemble our beady eyed friends of the gutter then perhaps a quick display of submission would work? Perhaps a lowering of the head, point your eyes to the ground. Should he prove aggressive some sharp, high pitched yelps followed by your laying on your back with your legs and arms in the air may persuade him further.

    As a last(but funner) option, find and kidnap his mother, take pictures of the dear old girl in various states of undress and bring them with you. Should he prove troublesome merely show him said pictures and let him know you mean business (and that in no uncertain terms if he wishes to see his mother again unscathed you best be granted entrance). Good times are bound to ensue.

    Hope this helps,
    H.

    this worked for a friend of mine who was in a similar position

    - he went up to the bouncer in question in a reasonably sober state and said "here mate im really sorry i was a dick last week, i drank too much, it will not happen again"

    usually the honest apology works best, he will probably remember you caus bouncers dont take kindly to d***s, but he might respect this approach

    note:mate seems to work well on bouncers

    And if he didn't remember you he might appreciate your honesty more......or tell ya to feck off.

    At AH we serve many functions - to give sound advice about bouncers, soothe sore throats and flavour cigarettes. :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 297 ✭✭oztots


    Saying sorry can work wonders.

    Just because you cant remember their faces doesnt mean they cant remember yours. And remember, they were sober at the time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,158 ✭✭✭✭Degag


    The person in question might not even be working that night or could be stationed in another part of the club...

    Which means he spots you and kicks you out after you pay in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,158 ✭✭✭✭Degag


    Well you'd have a much better chance of avoiding him... Anyway he'd want to be a pretty strict (and petty) bouncer not to let a guy in for saying he laughed like a girl...

    Anytime somebodys been abusize in any way i'll be making sure they're not in my pub/club for a while, unless they say sorry.
