Top 7 Worst Excuses I've Heard For Not Being Kicked Out of a Bar/Club

It all becomes pretty standard practice after awhile, even the big fights. Only people showing possible signs of excited delirium still make me nervous. Not only are they completely crazy, way waaaay stronger than you, can't feel anything, and may eat your face, but they can also spontaneously die if you hold them down which will result in a murder charge for you and the rest of the security staff.

A guy was strongly objecting to being searched. He was going off about what sort of place requires searching and then tried to imply we were all gay and just wanted to touch him. His friends convinced him that it was alright. We finally managed to search him and found to our surprise that there were no drugs, weapons or anything suspicious on him. But by then, the patron was almost hysterical and ran away to both our confusion and the confusion of his friends.

When you were trying to search this guy, were you preventing him from leaving the bar in any way?

Nope. I only blocked the entrance, He was free to walk back into the street as I told him 3-4 times.

Having issues doesn't mean it has to be homophobia.

Might be.

Little seems to be the key word in that sentence.

You really seem to be keen to get on people's bad sides. Maybe you should stop.

The first thing your psychology professor should have told you when you started taking psychology is that you don't know nearly enough to start diagnosing people. You read 3 sentences about a guy's reaction to a single event and suddenly you think you know him when in reality it takes a psychologist hours of talking with someone to diagnose them.

So maybe you shouldn't automatically assume that when someone doesn't like to be fondled by another man that they're either homophobic or in the closet, maybe being touched by unfamiliar people just makes them stressed.

Or they could just be pathologically afraid of being touched by anything. I know people like that. I hate the feeling of being surrounded- so that doesn't seem to off to me.

Haha, great stories mate.
It's always something isn't it? Every Saturday I used to witness drama after drama in the city, people fighting, girls crying, bad vibrations for all.
Now I go to the High Life Lounge (Guess what it is. Guess.) and it's a whole different story! Everybody is so friendly and relaxed. The staff behind the bar say it as well: a stoned customer is a friendly customer. They never want to go back to alcohol bars again.

What the hell kind of bar searches people? I agree with the guy from number 3 that it's fucking ridiculous and you shouldn't have that kind of power. I'd never go to a bar like that.

It was a club. It's standard procedure with pretty much any club downtown to avoid people sneaking weapons, drugs or alcohol into the place.

Which downtown? I live in LA and I've never gone to a single club or bar that searched people at the door, nor would I go to one.

I live in the Valley north of L.A. and we go to clubs all the time that require us to be patted down at minimum a few have given me the solid ball check style frisks lol. Mostly the clubs in Hollywood like Ruin, Batcave and Hell but I have also been searched trying to get into the Whiskey. So there are clubs out here that do it, most likely you just haven't went to one yet. I appreciate the security guys for the most part as there are way too many assholes out here to deal with.

I'm... not sure that statement is wise yet. That's still an illegal activity in most of the US including where the Escapist servers and HQ are. Just a heads up.

I appreciate the concern but here in the UK I can talk about it and claim I take it all day long ... as long as I don't start throwing buds into the crowd I'm cool lol

Meh... I can't. I am under military law as well as civvi law... and even that is ilegal for me! I would have to do a compulsory drugs test at the very least.

It's common in the UK too. I love the fact you say that doormen shouldn't have that much power (btw, in the UK they all have to have licences) yet you live in a country where a security guard in a shopping center can carry a gun...

It's common knowledge that a common working class activity in the UK is to go on a binge and have a fight. Stick weapons in the mix and you have a recipe for disaster. I have been caught in fights in clubs here, and I am a lot happier knowing that at least I won't get shanked in the process!
