College - town bouncershave seen some tinker’s dam , serviceman : more than proctologist . More than mercenaries in war - torn res publica . More than Led Zeppelin groupies . Serious , serious shit .
To them , the casual rigmarole of corporeal fluid , profanity , and fluid - braid profanity that youraverage bouncer facesis shaver ’s play . I enlisted the help of one gray-haired bounce - person who spent six years at one of the land ’s wildest party colleges ( HINT : it rhymes with Schmenn Schtate Schmuniversity ) to detail what it ’s really like to exist the bouncer life while vitamin D - bags live the college animation . We ’ll call him " Bruno . " He look like a Bruno . These are his waste and crazy stories . Giddy up !
The kid who stole the cop car
" perhaps the dotty matter I come across – just because of the ball needed to pull up off a effort like this – was this tight-fitting little scrawny dandy who literally labour off in a cop cable car after a fight broke out outside . I ’ve actually seen this once at a frat party in Indiana , PA , too , but I never thought I ’d see it again .
" A bunch of constabulary – campus po , real Po River , all the po – came to break up this conflict that was happen outside . One of them jumped out of their motorcar , and for some dipshit reasons go away the key fruit in the ignition . In the disturbance , this fry just hopped inside and SLAMMED it in reverse . Half the force chased after him , and the crowd that was fighting just scattered . It was pure rage . To this 24-hour interval , I do n’t know what happened to the kid . "
The vomit purse
" So a wad of the crazy tinker’s dam I saw materialise out of doors on line , when I was working the door . We apparently had an prescribed insurance that we ’d wrick down anyone who was visibly drunk . But lease ’s be tangible : if we stick to that strictly , our bar would be empty . One rule we did be was that if someone was puking , we would definitely not let them in . I mean , that ’s passably sensible , right ?
" This one missy who was in a big mathematical group was teetering over when she was a few time slot aside from the door , and I captivate her – I shit you not – puking in her little flowery Vera whatever - you - call - it handbag , to make indisputable we did n’t see it . I mean , like , multiple times . Trying to cover it up . candidly , I let her in . That was dedication . She really require to be inside . Hopefully she threw away the handbag . "
The helicopter mom who was definitely too old for this shit
" One fourth dimension this girl ’s mammy came and pulled her out of the club . For real . At the bar . At college . Everyone stood around and watched . I can not retrieve of a more embarrassing scenario . I really enquire what she did , and even more so , how her mama knew she was at our shitty legal profession . Was her mom insane she was at our shitty bar ? "
Same fake, different hat
" This one dude tried this horrific fake ID out on me , and I flex him down . But I was cool and let him keep the ID . He came back in course , like , 20 minutes later with a baseball game lid on . Same apparel . Same ID , same everything . I laughed my tail end off and kicked him to the bridle .
" About an hr later , the dude come with big hunter ’s beanie on . In the end of August . I accept the ID then , and told him he was an imbecile . At least get a fake ' stache , something . "
The sports fight that broke two iPhones
" It was bound to bump sooner or later on : during a big biz , a big group of rival fan come in in and started stirring up prick . This is one day I was forge inwardly , and was on watch the second these kids walk in . We never , ever had a engagement inside during my first four year … until this .
" It just started out of nowhere . All of a sudden one of our fans came up behind the beau with the big mouth and just whaled him with a bottleful of beer . It shatter . There was pandemonium . I was obviously in the shit then , but the one survive image I have is of two dudes holding each other ’s throats and with their loose hands just whale on each other with their iPhones . Shattering the telephone set , methamphetamine hydrochloride and blood and plastic vanish everywhere . And this was when iPhones were still a Modern thing . It was gamy - stakes . But it does answer the doubt : yes , multitude have used iPhones as blunt weapons . I saw it . "
The ahem teeth thing
" Probably the most memorable thing I saw was this couple that just started scram really nasty in the nook of the bar when we had a disk jockey up there . They were surround by hoi polloi , but our manager – with her eagle center – spot the girlfriend going down on the fellow … justly there in the bar . We all hold out over and confront them , and we must have surprise her because apparently she sunk her tooth just a little too hard into the dude ’s appendage , judging by his response . I feel bad overall . For ruining his good clip and for making his dick get snatch . "
The rogue poop
" One dark after the crowd cleared , we found a lone shite sit down in the middle of the dancing trading floor . Just a individual , random composition of shit – like it was New art or something , just sit under the strobe lights and the glitter , just sitting there , dead center of the room .
" Like some Andy Warhol shite . Literally . "
