Anyone else ever get mistaken for the bouncer at a club? I went to my usual club tonite and when I stepped outside by the front door to get some air several people entering the club started trying to hand me their ID's and asking if I was the bouncer. The bouncer was walking a dancer to her car after her shift at the time. Has this ever happened to you?
Could never happen to me. Not a big guy, and I wouldn't be caught dead wearing the outfits some of the bouncers have to wear at some of the clubs I've gone to.
People always come up to me and say that I look like some security person on a show called I think some show on trutv called hard pawn or something like that.
Not a bouncer, but in any common store, I get approached a lot by other customers asking me questions as if I work there. I seem to carry an air of confidence, that gives people the impression I know what I'm doing (even though I'm just looking for a new candy bar to try in a drug store).
I usually wear all black at the SC (better for camouflaging wandering hands) and so once in a while, someone mistakes me for a bouncer. Makes me laugh because at 6'1" I guess I have the height, but I hardly the heft. More like Jerry Seinfeld.
at a club in Montreal back when I was in college, Club Cleopatra I think it was. They gave me and all my friends free drinks all night because they thought I was a lineman for the Montreal Alouettes.
all in all most of my experiences with bouncers at clubs haven't been bad. I have a friend who has a tendency to get too drunk and then start acting the fool, which now in my more mellow state I do my best to handle things diplomatically on more than one occasion I have had bouncers say that if things got out of hand they were glad it was my friend and not me because they would rather just call the cops then have to deal with me because we would all get hurt.
Fortunately the clothes bouncers wear don't usually match what I wear. I often see some bouncers who are shorter and smaller than me unless they have been working out quite a bit and have a lot of muscle. If I wear shorts, I never confuse anyone.
lol no never a bouncer but I've been mistaken for a dancer, a waitress and a house mom. Damn what I wouldn't give to be a house mom, even for just a little while.
