What's the most trouble you've gotten into in a strip club?

Ever get thrown out of a club? Violently? Ever get in a fight? Did you lose? Badly? Ever lose a large amout of money? (Paying for dances doesn't count.) Ever get in an argument that turned into a big screaming scene?
My brushes with notoriety have been: Once lost $80 and had to use a credit card to pay for dances. Once locked my keys in my car and had to call a locksmith. Once got screamed at by a dancer who thought I was her regular. (As if.) And my Greatest Hit: My fave stripper had about $500 stolen by a punk, and I got into a screaming match with the club manager over it, sort of a small-time mobster/pimp twice my size. I really thought I was in deep shit, but he didn't do anything, and the screaming just petered out. A year or two later, I heard he had become a born-again preacher/entrepreneur of some kind.

2) 3 slashed tires by a dis-gruntled ex-employee in the Jersey boonies
3) Smashed driver's window and bag full of booze and shoes stolen in CC Philly
4) DUI coming out of a couple joints in Jersey--stupidest and worst SC thing that ever happened to me.
Granted, this is all over a period of 35 years; a word to the wise--be alert and keep your cool. These ain't churches we're hangin' around in.
I think I like clubbing because it is fun to play with the gals and the rules. I had one gal who came up to me at my second club visit who told me she enjoyed dancing for me because she felt comfortable. During my first visit to the club, I broke more rules with her than anyone else. I did it by responding to her signals, whether they were "illegal motion" or"first down".
1. One had danced for several years at another club in the same area that had very restrictive touching policies.
2. One was very young and had just started dancing.
3. One had one of the most beautiful faces I have ever seen anywhere, anytime. Her body was a 7-8, but her face was off the charts.
Just when he seems to be gone for good, he suddenly re-emerges. Is there a cyberspace equivalent of Valtrex or some comparable anti-viral?
One question that puzzles me though that seems to be relevant here. Why is boob fondling so routine in some clubs and so taboo in others? It would be easy to blame it on local laws but I've encountered it way too often in clubs in the same town. What gives?
The only other occurrence I can think of is more of a uncomfortable incident than getting in trouble. Back when I first started going to clubs I got a few dances from a girl right before the end of the night. When my dances were over I reached in my pocket and realized I was like $6 short of the $60 I owed her. She was very cool about it, told me that was fine and sent me on my way. Was a nice change of pace to have a stripper cut you a break, she could of easily bitched and made me go to the ATM (even though it was only a few bucks).
Here are some other events that I have been around to see but not done to me directly. I was at a club one night where there was a guy who was pretty drunk and at the club by himself. He was being obnoxious and starting trouble with a group of rough looking guys (bikers probably). I was looking up and the drunk guy was giving the guys the finger, then I see the bouncer bringing the guy into the back ally by the shirt with the group of bikers following. They probably beat the shit out of the guy, I felt bad for him but he did the instigating so it was just tough luck for him. I was with a friend at a club with a friend once, and there was a dancer that was new to the business who was hanging out with us most of the evening. He went and got some privates from her, and he made the move to try and touch her lower region and it completely freaked her out. I just remember him rushing out of the private area and telling me "its time to go" and flying out the door... not sure if she was getting the bouncer or what, he looked worried though.
Regarding breast touching, I agree it is up to each girl to set her own boundaries, but it really sucks when 90% of the girls at a club allow it (unofficially making it standard procedure), and you pop $30 to find out the one girl you pick does not allow it. I generally take the liberty to try and touch the breasts the first time I get a dance with a girl -- if they are for it, no harm no foul. If they don't allow it, they are usually looking out for it and let you know before your hands even make contact. I feel that as long as you respect their wishes after they tell you, there is no harm in trying. A lot of the good mileage dances I have received where initiated by me making an attempt when they did not make it clearly available. I'm nowhere near as brave when it comes to touching the punanny, it is obviously a lot rarer to find girls that allow that so I only try it if she seems open to it. Again, if they don't offer it they usually let you know before your hand makes it that far.

My personal experience is that there have been a lot fewer fights and other types of antisocial behavior in strip clubs than in non-stripping bars that I have been in, or at the parties that I went to in college and law school. I think that the reason for that is clear: very few "amateur" women are present, and of those that are in attendance, very few are available to be picked up. Most of the fights that I have seen in bars and parties have resulted from guys fighting over girls which, by and large, doesn't happen in strip clubs. Guys in strip clubs are either there by themselves, and have no desire for interaction with the other patrons, or are there with buddies, and aren't going to raise hell.
Think about it--if there are no women to compete over, what are men going to fight about?
There is also the factor that some of the guys in strip clubs don't necessarily want their presence to become common knowledge in the wider community, and are going to try to keep a low profile.
In fact, the only violent act I ever witnessed in a strip club was a couple of years ago, when an off-duty cop punched a guy in a wheelchair. I have seen guys try to get ugly about not getting served, or get in mathematical arguments with dancers about the number of dances they have had. But the bouncers handled these very discreetly and efficiently.
I have always been impressed with the fact that I have been able to go into a fairly wide range of strip clubs dressed professionally, and never gotten any shit about it. The only time that other patrons in a strip club have given me any problems was a couple of months ago, when a group of about 5-6 young (early 20s) guys started ragging on me for taking a couple of trips into VIP. When getting me a new drink, one of the waitresses told me that they apparently were tapped out, because they hadn't tipped or gotten drinks in about 1 1/2 hours, and they were about to be asked to leave the club.
Last week, I was in VIP getting the classic Favorite Club dance, while another patron sat with a dancer, from what I could see not even making physical contact with her, talking about some innocuous topic. Was I a pervert? Was he a sucker? In reality, as long as each was satisfied with what he got for his $50 plus tip, life was good for all.
I've also encountered the problem that Chitown mentions, where I promise a girl to buy some dances but end up with another dancer because the first made me wait too long. I think that's usually the girl's fault, not mine. If she's going to be awhile she should tell me that up front. If she promises to join me and doesn't, after a few minutes I will usually pick another girl.
I was once yelled at by a dancer who I had promised to take to VIP. By the time she got to me, I was engaged with another dancer, who I ended up taking to VIP. The first dancer approached me later, when I was sitting by myself, and yelled at me for not keeping my promise to her. She was absolutely correct, and I intend on making it up to her the next time we happen to be in the club together. The incident did, however, teach me that if you are not immediately going to get a dance from a dancer, make no definite commitments for the future, because you don't know what (or who) the future will bring.
Actually, I have, but usually, they act mature about it. I also agree that places where each girl sets her own rules are better. I think what dancers need to realize is if one dancer lets guys touch her tits, they all better. It's not like I try to get extras from anyone.
I've had a few dancers incur fines while doing dances for me, and I've had bouncers come over and warn me about contact a few times, but never more than once. It's always a new bouncer who doesn't know the score, and it's never for the serious violations we both get away with during the same dance.
Another category of trouble I meant to include in my question: Strip club raids. Ever been present for one? Bonus points, obviously, if you got detained. Double bonus points if you spent the night in jail.
I've also had my shirt ripped open by a feature entertainer which made me a bit angry. I didn't do anything about that.
I once considered saying quite a bit to one dancer who picked my pocket. Rather than lose control because I was very angry I said something to one dancer or someone there and then immediately left. Then I emailed the management of the strip club chain of the crime committed in the club with my real name identified. They investigated and found the suspected dancer who had been stealing from others as well. They put 8 dancers and one bouncer on a 2 week suspension for a cooling off period. I actually went back to the club and the manager wanted to speak to me and I confirmed the identity of the dancer who stole from me. I was anxious when I went back to the club not knowing what to expect if they might be hostile to me or not. To my surprise, everyone was very friendly including the manager.
I didn't consider this to be causing trouble but I had another dancer get fired or to quit because the manager said she would be fired if she left early. I wanted to leave a club but this one particular dancer insisted on leaving with me. She got me to stay much longer than I intended and then left and got fired 30 minutes from closing time. I consider that to be quitting more than getting fired because I was willing to stay another 30 minutes after staying over 2 or 3 hours longer than I originally intended. I didn't really even know her that well and didn't know why she was so insistent on leaving with me that night either.
