The Square Above Charlie Weaver
At a club and there is a guy taking up prime seating across the bar from me. For a solid hour he is LOUDLY on his phone. Has earbuds but is yelling at his phone. We all could not help but notice it was some sort of business meeting he was leading. Yelling, arguing, cursing for a an hour. Having to yell because the music was very loud.
Girls tried asking for dances and he rudely dismissed them. "Can't you see I'm on the phone?" At one point people next to him got loud in their own right and he barked "Hey, can't you see I'm on the phone?" The other guy and two girls just moved away.
So random thoughts:
Who the FUCK goes to a strip club to hold a conference call? Sit in your fucking car and finish the call before you come in.
I noticed he looked around from time to time. My take was this was not seeing if he was bothering anyone. It was more like he was making sure people noticed he was such an important jackoff because he was on a conference call in a strip club. Over time the seats around him emptied and he actually started walking around and talking. It was probably unconscious, but it was like somewhere deep down if he could not annoy people sitting in one place any more he would walk over to where they were and annoy them.
He was obviously annoying people, obviously not tipping or otherwise partaking and even being rude to dancers. No one that I could tell ever did anything about it. Not the bartender (from whom he was buying nothing) or any of the floor staff. Should the club have done anything? I don't know the context. For all I know he owned the joint or was good for dropping a grand when he got off the phone.

And if he was a big spender and thought because of that he can act like an entitled prick and ruin everyone else’s time plus be rude to the dancers then he’s still a d-bag no matter how deep his pockets are.
Yeah if dancers and patrons both are getting annoyed then it would have been in club staff’s interest to do something. My guess is “manager’s friend” (I’m sure there’s a few who aren’t complete pieces of shit—but if they exist then I wouldn’t know because they do absolutely nothing to let me know that)
Imagine this system: show up wearing your suit claiming to be a chemical engineer and hold a meeting to show the girls how important (and rich!) you are. Then get down and dirty afterward.
I’m not saying it’s a brilliant system. In fact, I call it the d-bag system. I’m just saying it is a possibility ;)
By the way, he was apparently disturbing others to the point of them getting up and leaving his space just as Icey said to do. HOWEVER, the asshole apparently then got up and began walking the floor while continuing his bullshit rant on the phone. Attention seeking at its worst.
It is not that I am not used to seeing people do the I'm important and don't care who I disturb act at Starbuck's, grocery store, restaurants, regular bars, etc. This is a first for me seeing it at a loud strip club. I have actually seen people asked to take it outside at restaurants. Saw a guy at McDonald's doing this at the front of the line. Finally they just started taking orders from people behind him.
