The ranting thread - AKA I HATE my home town (NSF sensitive persons!)

[BBKid 0]

What the fuck is it with people in Crosby (I would find a website, but it's so pointless it doesn't have any)? They deliberately go out of their way to piss me off, and make my life a living hell!!!!!!!

Case in point: tonight I went out with some friends who constantly complain that I never go out in our local town, but I have my reasons for this. We tried going in a little pub which has pretentions of grandeur, and although there were only about 4 people in there due to the heatwave we're going through over here, the doormen were still being really strict about the dress code. Fair enough, I said Hi to him, so he would actively check I was suitably dressed, and he let me go in.

Two mintues later, both my friends had been served, and the barman was taking my order, when a different doorman came in and told me I would have to get out, because tracksuit pants were not allowed (I wasn't wearing anything which could be described in this way). I asked him why I had been allowed in if I was breaking the dress code, and he said that his co-worker hadn't done his job properly.

WHY THE FUCK WAS THIS MY FAULT????????

He kicked me out, kicked my friends out for being with me, told them they would have to have their drinks outside (no refund allowed), but I wasn't allowed to have one outside, and he refused to let any of my friends back in for fear that they would be bringing drinks out for me.

If his co-worker had done his job properly, none of us would have gone in, so there would have been no problem - as it was, he labeled me as a troublemaker, for asking (politely) why there was inconsistency in the dress code, and all the other pubs in the village which were served by this security company were warned not to let in a bunch of troublemakers looking for a fight.

These stupid, jobsworth little fuckers get a minute amount of power, and it just goes to their head, thinking they're Reggie Kray or something. I wanted to go up to them and say "fuck you, I can count to twenty without taking off my shoes and socks", but so many words with more than one syllable would have confused them.

Anyone else want to share their "near-postal" experiences?

You know what I would do, really? I'd take my pants off and walk out, I know, that's why they call me Crazy.

I want to get a T-shirt saying "I'm fcuking your wife" and wear it next time this tool is on duty. I know for a fact he would hit me (I would let him, there is mucho CCTV), then have him thrown in jail for many, many years.

Not that I'm a bgitter and vindictive little sod, you understand.

Tell us how you really feel? Frankly, they sound like real dicks. But that's because I'm a girl, and not a guy...

The best (?) part about being a manager (besides that fact that the job didn't come with a pay raise) is that I get to keep my mouth shut no matter how pissed I am now...

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

He's got a point, but I'd modify it. Since the pants aren't allowed in there, but people are... You should've taken the pants off and handed them to the guy. Then said, "Here you go, take them outside and I'll pick them up on my way out." That way, they still would've gotten your and your friends' money for drinks and the 'offensive pants' wouldn't be inside.

or don't go to a place with a "dress code"... Most of the clubs here (MSP), a club with a dress code is some stupid 18+, 21 to drink meat market, bullsh*t , over priced STD fest anyway... Go find a true pub, hang out with your FRIENDS and play some pool or something... Maybe I've got the place all wrong, but it sounds familiar... The last time I was in one of "those" places, four bouncers used my face to open the front door because I told them how I felt about their rules.

Call me crazy, but how about just not going there?

You'd probably have a better time somewhere else where you can be yourself anyway.

In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal
