Anyone met a bouncer that tried to start fights

[Mr Mojo Lane]

I've met two. Most bouncers are not this way, but there are some out there. It was hard not to hit this one bouncer I met last week. The guy had me confused with somebody else and was talking shit and stuff. The weird thing about this guy is that he was really small.

I try not to f**k with bouncers. They can sometimes seem to escalate a situation and then can say "oh, he was drunk, I was just doing my job" if a fight breaks out.

Usually if you fight a bouncer and you are intoxicated, you have no defence, even if he was in the wrong.

I've never had one try to start a fight with me.

The whole concept of bouncers from a business concept is ass backwards. I get that you need security there and all that. But why the hell do most bouncers act like you're inconveniencing them by being there? It's like as soon as anyone other than a hot chick shows up at a bar, they're pissed about it. They'll hassle you and generally act like they don't want you there. I don't know about you but if I was a bar owner I'd want folks to be able to show up and feel like they're welcomed at my bar. Instead you show up and it's like they're pissed that you're there spending money in their establishment.

There is a few good stories from bouncers on here in previous threads, but might be hard to find.

I generally stay in shifty dives in my town. The more popular nightlife towns in pgh, some bouncers can be hardasses. And like previous poster said, some seem inconvenienced to be there unless it's a cute broad

I couple of guys I used to work with would bounce around Pacific Beach for extra money and to meet women. One was a real mean son of a bitch that grew up hard in South Boston... Worked at Moondoggies, PBBAG, Typhoon Saloon, etc. Everytime I was there, I saw him trying to instigate shit with People. He's a scary fucking dude so whether he was working or we were out and he was up to his bullshit, People would always back down. Until one day, he was in this nerdy looking guys face about something and the guy just colded him right there on the spot. Dude had to wear an eye patch for two weeks straight. lol.

Years later, he came out to visit me for a bit and was still up to his old tricks. A shit leopard never changes it's spots.

As for myself, I never have problems with bouncers. I find that those who do are usually heading that way with someone anyways. You'd be surprised how far just even a little respect goes with People, especially bouncers.

i think a few sherdoggers are bouncers. the few threads i've read that were started by bouncers ended up being great and hilarious reads. crazy and funny shit happens when alcohol is involved.

Because it's a boring boring job for one.

Also after enough times of having your kindness mistaken for weaknes, you try to be neither man nor nice, you try to be direct and cut off any back and forth.

Obviously for people looking to have a good time it will come off as mean, but at a certain point, you just don't give a fuck.

oh, i never have problems with bouncers. mainly because i don't start shit, and i don't go to places that require bouncers. i'm way past my clubbing days.

I knew a guy, a patient of mine and he's a douche. He only bounced for awhile, but was a total tap-out type of guy. He used to love it when drunks started stuff so that he and the others could just maul them

Thing is, he was the biggest pussy in the chair, afraid of everything, especially the anaesthetic

I worked as a bouncer for a while. Got into a few scraps, but mostly I was the one trying to break up fights. Glad I'm not in that line of work anymore but I got to use my bjj and judo in actual street scenarios so it was fun at times.

Bouncers are cool if you give them a 10€ everytime you leave the club. They'll let you in free and past the line when you get to know em.

Did you cut him up good?

I should add being a bouncer
can only be enjoyed or endured by someone who is less than an upstanding citizen.

If you are a decent hardworking person, the job sucks.

If I was the bar owner and I could tell my bouncer didn't give a fuck, he'd be let go immediately. Customers should have a good experience when they go out. Most peoples only interaction with a bouncer is handing them an ID and walking past them. To make them feel uncomfortable or unwanted for no reason is bad business.

When I worked retail I didn't give a fuck whether people bought what was in the store I worked at or not but I was still polite and helpful to them. Now obviously they weren't all drunk but the point of doing good business remains the same.

Ha, I did take a few teeth out on him. He's also addicted to percocet, always wants them even for the smallest things. Have a few like that. Amazing but they know their drugs very well and are "allergic" to everything except percocet/oxycontin

This one bar I used to go to had super aggressive bouncers. My buddy's and I used to joke around and say that everyday before their shifts they would sit around, oil each other up and watch roadhouse to get primed for work. Most of them were dicks, but if they ever got in my face I would just listen to them or leave if they told me to.

I saw a bouncer try to kick this guy out of a bar because he didn't fit the "Dress Code" and the guy ended up taking the bouncer down and probably would have fucked him up pretty good had everyone not jumped in and pulled him off.

Unfortunately, that line of work appeals to a certain kind of asshole, which is what TS is talking about. Speaking from experience though, otherwise nice and reasonable individuals get short fuses after dealing with too many incoherent, rambling drunks who won't listen and occasionally get belligerent. After some of the shit that happens on any given night, a bouncer being an asshole to somebody is sometimes just that somebody being the straw that broke the camels back.

Bjj in a streetfight? Thats risky, you could get kicked to oblivion by a third party while your on the ground.

Or bitten. It's a known fact that biting negates all bjj.
