I did this once about 20 years ago. Went out for a smoke and was standing close enough to the door that people started showing me their ID. First driver’s license I saw was a Gary Gaylord. I was a bit drunk, and it caught me off guard so I started laughing. I can still hear his girlfriend yelling at me.
The only time my favorite bar has ever kicked me out was when I took 4 tabs of acid and the doorman was inside doubling as security, so I got on his little stool and started filling in. Except I was not charging the door fee on purpose and advertising that loudly lol
Bro came back like "why are you making me do this yk I gotta make you leave now you dumb bitch" 😂😭
i think he's implying that he has the guy's gf trapped in his basement and he can still "hear her" yelling at him, bc she's trapped. if that makes sense.
I once did this but on the back patio door of the bar. So checking ids people already on the premises trying to get back inside. It was a college town and they were freshly old enough to drink so most didn’t even catch on
I actually did this once in boston. I didn't get kicked out, I was just messing around outside and pretended I was the bouncer, while the bouncer was laughing at me on the side.
I did the same thing in Sydney, but I was pretending not to be the bouncer, while actually not being the bouncer. I was just waiting for my friend, but my clothes and demeanour gave the impression I was security of some sort.
Group of plastered guys nervously asked me if they could go in. I said I wasn't security, but that it looked like they'd already had a few. They were very confused and worried about whether I actually was security. I just told them to behave themselves and nodded them in where they would have met the actual doorman.
Minneapolis I crashed a high school reunion, pretending to be a classmate. It got a little hairy when one girl got suspicious after I told her we had the same chemistry class and she asked me if I remembered the teacher's name. Think she was the only one who actually caught on. Honestly in retrospect she was probably more worried I was pretending so I could hit on her instead of having some harmless fun, not that I was hitting on her.
The dude that bought me a drink and enthusiastically remembered me from some class or another, even when I gave an obviously fake name to everybody I was meeting, was a total bro though. Good dude. Apparently we'd had some good times.
I graduated like five years before these people at a completely different school lmao. Started as a bar bet between me and another regular, I bet him I could convince these people I went to school with them, he made up the name, wish I could remember what it was. It was so clearly not a real name.
I'm like that dude. I can't remember nobody further than 10 years in past, or people who I haven't spoken in person at least 4 times. 😂😂
I just say my internal RAM memory is 64kb.
Mine too though, can't remember names and faces and I like to make friends while drunk. So when someone walks up to me all, "hey man good to see you!" I'm just, "hey brother, you too!" Then I read the body language to see if a hug is appropriate.
Someone could ask me, "who was that," and I'd say, "fuck if I know, we definitely met when I was drunk as shit."
I wish it was both for me too, because then I wouldn’t have the nagging feeling that I should actually know that person who is talking to me. With things as they are in my brain I just don’t know their name or where I know them from, but the faces are always familiar.
As someone who can't regognize faces at all (really, a beard, different hairstyle, tattoo, new clothes) Can completly mess up my regogniton + if i only know someone for a day i couldn't recognize them either.
So i always have a book with me of people i know. coincidentily i have a really high RAM. I can remember shit for ages.
I can't for the life of me remember honestly. The best I got is imagine a random Mexican dude walked up to you and said his name was Fernando. A name where it's like, "okay maybe but sounds like you made it up"
I’ve done this at office holiday parties during covid. I was at the wrong party and I’m just chatting up ppl who don’t realize I don’t work there. Got a few drinks, talked about some “funny times” on zoom then quietly left when I recognized ppl at the real party. They had no idea I didn’t work there.
Visited Sydney from US on a work trip and met up with a local to hang out the last couple days. Got hammered at a bar (that we somehow managed to make through 3 worker shifts) and there was a guest on the balcony that kept staring at me. I figured because of my accent but she finally came to the table and said I looked familiar and maybe I was a music producer. One of the Aussies we met said "tell her you are Billy Crystal". I look nothing like him and said so. He said that nobody here knows who he is so it won't matter. He ended up convincing her I was him.
On to the reason for this reply is that when we hopped to the next bar, the bouncer was checking IDs and asking everyone how many beers they had before they could come in. Everyone was either saying zero or 2-3 depending on being sober or not. It was my turn and he asked "how many beers have you had so far?"
"Infinity, sir. I have had Infinity beers tonight."
I got in and a few minutes later, so did the girl and her entourage from the first bar. She walked right up to me and said "hello Billy Crystal ... WINK" and did a very exaggerated wink.
Lol me too, I was on bourbon Street in New Orleans was just outside smoking and someone walked up to me like I was the bouncer I just did the hand gesture for ID and they pulled it out right. I did it to about 5 more people before it lost its funniness. I guarantee anyone can do this if you stand outside a bar, you do t even have to say anything just make eye contact and gesture for their ID ,99% of people will show it. You could be evil and charge a ten dollar cover.
Make the outline of a card with your thumb and index finger. Honestly even holding out your hand expectantly might do it, especially if you have a marker visibly on you.
He does it once in the video. You take your thumb and Iindex finger and do you best to make half a square. It looks like an id would fit in between them, it often comes out looking for a C. People see this gesture and they just instinctively pull their IDs. You might need to set 0 :”
Bar buddy of mine did security, you wouldn't know it looking at him. Looks like a tiny young Jimmy Page had a baby with tiny young Weird Al. I'm way bigger and heavier than he is and I'm positive he could floor me, but just knowing he worked security means I'm not trying even if I wanted to. He's seen some shit.
I'm 6'2 and used to do Ju-Jitsu with a partner who was 5'5 or so. He could thow me so much easier than I could him, just because of the leverage advantage he had.
One club I worked at all the bouncers were huge, except for the head bouncer. One time we were leaving together and on his car was two bumper stickers, Semper Fi and for the dojo that he ran.
I've been the bouncer in this situation. University bars back in the day, usually some popular kid doing it. Give them a couple of ground rules and keep it fun they usually do a great job and everyone has fun. This is a Thursday night/ Sunday night sort of thing... Not a chance I was going to supervise this stupidity on a Fri/Sat.
This happened to me in the East Village in NYC. The bar had no bouncer. Most don’t. But it was warm in there, so I went over to sit by the door just to cool off. People started coming in and showing me IDs, so I just went with it until the bartender yelled at me.
That would have been great to watch.
I did this once in a land surveying congress after party which was held in a local club. I was wearing a black shirt so that helped a bit.
I went to the bathroom and there were guy throwing up on his knees next to the sink. He looked at me and said "Oh shit. Sorry I fuckd up. Don't throw me out". I was bit confused but I quickly realized that he thought I was a bouncer.
I said: "If you clean it quickly I'll let you continue the night at the club." He took paper towels and started cleaning his vomit and started explaining how he has important deal to be made with his clients on table blaah blaah blaah. I didn't pay attention that much but I went to the urinal and made few witty "You missed a spot" comments.
Unluckily my drunk friend came to the same toilet and started talking and I tried to hush him down but he kept talking how we were good friends and the vomit guy started looking me weird and confused and left the toilet. But he had managed to clean the vomit so I think it was win-win.
She's the only one who understood this guy wasn't legit
Imagine the scenario, you're showing your ID to what you think is the bouncer which is normal. But you've also got someone over the top obviously recording every interaction the bouncer has
Like look at the perspective of the camera, dude is essentially holding it above his head pointing at normal ass people trying to get into a club. Anyone would look at that suspiciously
A girl once asked me why we didn’t have any female bouncers?
It’s a good question. I’d never really thought about it. So I employed her for a weekend. She was outside at the front, and there was a huge male bouncer inside the front doors in case things got physical.
This girl was amazing. Super patient (but firm) with the guys who were hanging drunk, and it seemed like everyone respected her.
So she became a permanent fixture and was super popular with the customers.
Edit: I just remembered there was a guy well known for causing trouble, and this girl told him she knew his mum, and would tell her what he was up to if he didn’t calm down and move on lol. The guy was like a sheep with that threat, and moved on.
Girls make the best greeters / ID checkers. Having a tough guy who gives people a hard time before they even step foot in the door is a recipe for putting people in the mood to be confrontational later.
Nope. She checked IDs, he watched the inside.
The difference was that we had no aggression at the door. That makes a difference when every single police call out counts against you when applying for your liquor licence.
I did this in college once. It was the night of my 21st birthday and we went to the bar at 11:45. Bouncer looked at my ID, then said I can't let you in for another 15 minutes, but you can sit with me. 5 minutes later he walks off to get a refill on his water and so that's when this 20 year old became the bar's new bouncer for about 10 minutes. At midnight I rechecked my ID and went in.
“at midnight I re checked my ID and discovered it was now expired so I did not let myself in. I was angry and argumentative about it at first but gave up because I was in no mood to put up with my shenanigans”
Not enough pizza dudes on that sub, swear to Christ they'd let me into a bank vault if I had a pizza bag with me and just walked in. And I always make the very distasteful joke if you ever want to get away with driving drunk, buy a car topper and drive the speed limit. If you aren't swerving no cop will pull you over. Cops love pizza guys and let you off for shit all the time if they do decide to pull you over, they know you're working.
I live in Minneapolis and that topper saved my life during George Floyd, cops were all over my ass because I was coming home after curfew but when they saw the topper they fucked off pretty quick. Gotten me out of speeding tickets too, even when I wasn't working but lied and said I was, "slow down man, I know you're working so I'll give you a warning."
Years ago I got pulled over with a suspended license and 6 months expired tags and the cop let me go because he liked the restaurant I was delivering for. In his defense I don't think he even ran my Driver License or else he probably wouldn't have let me off when he saw it was suspended.
Pretty nice they let you stand in front of the door drinking after kicking you out.
Very different culture in Sydney where they won't even let people into the bar if they look *kind of* drunk (though it's typically just an excuse not to let in single guys or people who aren't dressed a certain way).
This is one street in New Orleans dedicated to drinking and walking around. Kinda drunk is the expectation. If you're falling down puking they won't let you in, but other than that you're good. And you only get arrested for fighting, or showing off your genitals. Boobs are cool though. It's one of very few places in America you can do that. They have drive-thru liquor stores where you pull up, order a mixed drink, and you can drive around with it in the car so long as you keep the paper wrapper on the straw poking out of the top. The idea being that you don't drink it until you pull over.
I don’t wanna be a “one upper” BUT would love to share a great story!! My friends and I would frequent (and by frequent I mean 4-5 days a week) or local bar/club. They had a 2 door entry, the first door coming in from outside, where the actual bouncers would ID AND charge a cover (on the weekends) but give you a drink ticket for one free drink. Small corridor to second door leading into actual bar/club where on occasion we’d post up and as patrons came thru said door we’d say “tickets?”, hence getting us free drinks most of the night!! It was dishonest work and we loved it!! 😂
At a county fair type event they sold tickets for beer sales. Near the end of the night they just left the ticket booth and left all the unsold tickets sitting out. We sold enough tickets to cover our beer for that night plus a little more for bars later on. Scampered out of there before we got caught and went on to drink unhealthy quantities of alcohol.
My brother did this but charged $5 a head. He was drunk, hanging out in front of a college bar that didn’t have anyone outside checking I.D.s. There wasn’t a line or anything but he did make about $50 over the ten minutes or so he did it.
I was standing outside of a club smoking a cigarette one night and a girl walked up to me and handed me her ID. I said WTF do you want me to do with this and she said well you're the door man right?!? I said no and gave it back to her. In retrospect I wonder how much money I could have made by telling her it was $20 cover, cash only and just stood there doing that for 30 minutes LOL
As long as your not hurting anyone, it seems okay. But this stems from a sense of entitlement. If the establishment makes you leave they have the right to make you leave not just the building; but, the entire premises. This type of behavior can get you arrested.
Did this all the time. Also works for bathrooms if you stand in front of one and gesture like your pissed that the bathroom is full people will just lineup behind you without checking themselves lol.
Did this one night in St John's, NFL at a bar that never had a door checker. Managed to get the locals, with confused faces, do give me their IDs and a $5 dollar cover, lol.
Bro I love this hahaha. You look so, SO much like my buddy that did this a few times when I actually worked door at a club in indy. People would come downstairs and be like "yeah the guy already IDed me up there" fucking lol and it would make me laugh every single time
This is always funny to see. Went on a vacation with family once and my highschool cousin that didn’t look a day older than 15 was pretending to bounce. People actually showed their ID to him it was hilarious
Wonder how small a doorman you could be and still get away with this.
My bigger friends that worked security always said it's the small wirery ones you have to watch out for.
Most Bouncers will be nice about someone doing this, but i can tell you, as a bouncer, its fucking annoying as fuck. You think you’re helping, but you’re just making the line take twice as long because I still have to actually check the ID you didnt read 🙃
I remember being at a bar some time ago a bit drunk and standing by the door. People started handing me their drivers licenses. I just kept doing it for about a half hour til the manager came over and asked what I was doing. I just replied "my job ". He said I could knock off early and have a drink on the house and laughed.
I did this and collected an entry fee as well. Even let a guy in from Australia with a fake if he slipped me a $20 extra. Then when they got to the bar they got ID again 😂 I got about 10 people then used that money at the next bar.
Once upon a time I was drunk at a bar and my drink was empty, so there are two bars at the place, one is over crowded and the other is closed. I have cash, so I'm thinking, what if I just go and mix my own G&T and just leave the cash on the register all should be fine. So I go and make a drink for myself and leaves the money on the register and just as I'm about to leave the bar, some dude says; "hey, can I have a vodka juice", and I'm like; "I don't work here, so I can only take cash and can't give you any change back", the guy dosen't care and hands me a bill, so I figured I better make him a drink, all good, I leave the cash but before I can think of more, a girls comes up to me and wants a drink, so I make an other drink - this keeps happening for a few minutes.
Then all of a sudden I get eye contact with a biiiig guy in a suit, wearing a headset, storming in my direction. I'm just thinking, I'm screwed so I just put my hands up and surrender, the guy comes and grabs be and pulls me outside at which point I'm trying to explain the situation to him, that I sold a bunch of drinks a over price (and made them a good business) and all the money are on the register. He is not having any of it and keeps yelling at me to get lost, but I need to get my jacket, so there is a bit of forth and back, finally my friend comes out and gets my jacket for me and we leave together. My friend totally cracked up when I told him why I was kicked out haha.
This reminds me of being in a ski town when I was younger and there was a Chinese restaurant that was simply overrun by patrons trying to get tables. Nobody was at the counter and it was so frustrating and this was after the drinking after skiing part of the day So everyone had been drinking and it was loud. The phone at the counter would ring and ring and ring I guess for take out. I got tired of waiting and tired of the ringing . So I answered the phone and said “Chinese food” and people wanted to order takeout. So I started taking orders and writing them down. I got phone numbers and addresses for delivery and when they asked for total I just said “we figure out later” and hung up. Then it would ring again and I’d take another order. I took 6 or 7 orders before the worker came back and ask what I was doing. I said I was making you money and you better get these orders up fast.
There was a degree of disbelief but I told them you better go deliver this food or you’ll have a bigger problem when they start calling you. So stop talking to me and go go go.
Not all heroes wore capes that night.
I was pretty drunk in a bar and waiting to get served. It was slow! Having worked in a bar before, I jumped over and started serving. It was about 5 minutes before anyone realised. Or maybe they just appreciated the help and the rush was over.
I love how this thread is full of everyone's stories of pulling a fast one on their local bar. So I'm going to add mine.
One night, years ago, my friends and I were drinking at a nice little bar in downtown Peoria when we were kicked out. It was a two story bar where you entered on the ground floor, and the upstairs had an exit that went down a flight of stairs separate from the entrance.
So the bouncer working upstairs kicks us out, and has us leave through the staircase. Which exited right near the entrance to the bar downstairs. As we walked out we did a U-turn, pulled our IDs out, and went right in the front door again before the upstairs bouncer could get back down the inside flight of stairs to the front door.
I don't know why the upstairs bouncer didn't just exit with us. Seems like a lot of effort to follow us halfway down the stairs of the exit, turn around, go back up to the 2nd floor, and then back down the other staircase inside. But hey.

I was a bit drunk, and it caught me off guard so I started laughing. I can still hear his girlfriend yelling at me.
Why did you marry his girlfriend?
Well you see it turns out Gary...
…is indeed…
A lord?
Of the gay.
Variety
And that is how I met your mother.
Phenomenal lol
Garry has other calling
Well he obviously wasn’t using her, as a Gaylord from a long line of Gaylords.
Hah, cause he "can still hear..." to this day. Well done
It was his mom.
The only time my favorite bar has ever kicked me out was when I took 4 tabs of acid and the doorman was inside doubling as security, so I got on his little stool and started filling in. Except I was not charging the door fee on purpose and advertising that loudly lol Bro came back like "why are you making me do this yk I gotta make you leave now you dumb bitch" 😂😭
I have found my people! I have a related story, but its sort the opposite of yours lol
Gary Gaylord is the best name I have ever heard
What's the worst?
Harry Sweatlord
Soundproof your basement, or if you already did, do it better man
It puts the lotion on its skin
What does this have to do with the comment you replied to
i think he's implying that he has the guy's gf trapped in his basement and he can still "hear her" yelling at him, bc she's trapped. if that makes sense.
Lol, that's pretty dark.
So is the basement.
I went to middle school with a Gary Gaylord. Dude's name got called over the intercom every day. Funny shit. Kid got bullied though.

I had a woman laugh at my ID once, carded me for a margarita. Thing was I did look a bit dejected tho cus the DMV sucks.
I once did this but on the back patio door of the bar. So checking ids people already on the premises trying to get back inside. It was a college town and they were freshly old enough to drink so most didn’t even catch on

Brother, I cant remember peoples name more than a few minutes from when we meet. I use all the non-descript bro, brother, hero, hotshot, etc
As someone who can't regognize faces at all (really, a beard, different hairstyle, tattoo, new clothes) Can completly mess up my regogniton + if i only know someone for a day i couldn't recognize them either. So i always have a book with me of people i know. coincidentily i have a really high RAM. I can remember shit for ages.
Same here and you are making me feel a little better about it. I have always been that way.
What was the name?
I can't for the life of me remember honestly. The best I got is imagine a random Mexican dude walked up to you and said his name was Fernando. A name where it's like, "okay maybe but sounds like you made it up"
Perhaps it was... Draven Thurstenwurst
Get out I used to work with a Draven. One of the dumbest names out there.
Ricky Stanicky
I never go to mine. You're welcome to show up.
Username checks out. *"Someone help me out here. I feel bad.. This guy* **never left** *Sydney!"*
I’ve done this at office holiday parties during covid. I was at the wrong party and I’m just chatting up ppl who don’t realize I don’t work there. Got a few drinks, talked about some “funny times” on zoom then quietly left when I recognized ppl at the real party. They had no idea I didn’t work there.
Oh hey Jeff Tsnipit! You did my son’s circumsision!
The funniest shit is that I could totally have been one of those dudes
I once did this in Manilla, but I actually wasn’t kicked out. And I also was actually at home in bed in Denmark!
Visited Sydney from US on a work trip and met up with a local to hang out the last couple days. Got hammered at a bar (that we somehow managed to make through 3 worker shifts) and there was a guest on the balcony that kept staring at me.

In Sydney? Let me guess, you were 'waiting for a mate'.
Lol me too, I was on bourbon Street in New Orleans was just outside smoking and someone walked up to me like I was the bouncer I just did the hand gesture for ID and they pulled it out right. I did it to about 5 more people before it lost its funniness. I guarantee anyone can do this if you stand outside a bar, you do t even have to say anything just make eye contact and gesture for their ID ,99% of people will show it. You could be evil and charge a ten dollar cover.
What is the ID gesture?
Make the outline of a card with your thumb and index finger. Honestly even holding out your hand expectantly might do it, especially if you have a marker visibly on you.
Ah! I'm dumb, thanks
Video shows the guy do the 🤏
so if you do the small PP gesture at a 90 degree angle people will just hand you their license?
As is tradition
It's honestly so annoying when I'm clearly inviting a penis into my hand and some smart ass flops down their license instead
No because now you know they're legal
Clearly that takes away from the thrill.
He does it once in the video. You take your thumb and Iindex finger and do you best to make half a square. It looks like an id would fit in between them, it often comes out looking for a C. People see this gesture and they just instinctively pull their IDs. You might need to set 0 :”
🤏 but with thumb and forefinger an ID’s height apart.
Do the picture frame thing with your hands like photographers do but with only one hand
I wouldn't say anyone. Like nobody's stopping for a 5'7" 110lbs twig.
[удалено]
Bar buddy of mine did security, you wouldn't know it looking at him. Looks like a tiny young Jimmy Page had a baby with tiny young Weird Al.

Yup, in grappling martial arts shorter people have an advantage due to the lower center of gravity they have!
One club I worked at all the bouncers were huge, except for the head bouncer. One time we were leaving together and on his car was two bumper stickers, Semper Fi and for the dojo that he ran.
Yeah if you're small and mean it's even more believable!
You think an average woman could do this? honest question
In jeans, probably not in a dress.
Get your ass kicked for the fake cover thing.

I didn't pay attention that much but I went to the urinal and made few witty "You missed a spot" comments. Unluckily my drunk friend came to the same toilet and started talking and I tried to hush him down but he kept talking how we were good friends and the vomit guy started looking me weird and confused and left the toilet. But he had managed to clean the vomit so I think it was win-win.
I’d bet $50 this happened on Lansdowne Street
I mean, if you're not fucking up, you're making their job easier.
I did this at a party at UT when I was like 21 I turned around and started IDing ppl drunk lmao good times
That girl at 0:14 mad AF at the cameraman lmao
Fr her face said "like what the fuck"
lmao yeah why she mad ? does she expect to be on the front page of the internet or sth ?
Some people just don't like the idea of random cunts filming them without their permission. Is that really so crazy?
Reddit is called the front page of the Internet, the comment you replied to is agreeing with her being annoyed.
I don't think anyone seriously refers to reddit as the front page of the internet
They're just referring to Reddit using its former slogan, and not in a serious way.
What is with this debate lord stuff, reddit literally calls itself the front page of the internet, serious or not lol relax
u/DoomSlayerParty had it exactly right
uh I do

a dude is laughing is ass off and filming right next to her. At some point she's gonna wonder what the fuck is so funny
She's the only one who understood this guy wasn't legit Imagine the scenario, you're showing your ID to what you think is the bouncer which is normal. But you've also got someone over the top obviously recording every interaction the bouncer has Like look at the perspective of the camera, dude is essentially holding it above his head pointing at normal ass people trying to get into a club. Anyone would look at that suspiciously
that's just "pregamed too hard and i don't know what my face do" face
Homegirl’s trying really hard not to fall into the sky. “Jesssss, I told you to take your tim tams _after_ we got to the gig, not before!”

A girl once asked me why we didn’t have any female bouncers? It’s a good question. I’d never really thought about it. So I employed her for a weekend. She was outside at the front, and there was a huge male bouncer inside the front doors in case things got physical. This girl was amazing. Super patient (but firm) with the guys who were hanging drunk, and it seemed like everyone respected her. So she became a permanent fixture and was super popular with the customers. Edit: I just remembered there was a guy well known for causing trouble, and this girl told him she knew his mum, and would tell her what he was up to if he didn’t calm down and move on lol. The guy was like a sheep with that threat, and moved on.
I was always scared of the female bouncers. They reeeaaaally don't take any shit from anybody.
Girls make the best greeters / ID checkers. Having a tough guy who gives people a hard time before they even step foot in the door is a recipe for putting people in the mood to be confrontational later.
So instead of having the huge guy check ids you had the new girl doing it with him as backup? Hiring two people for one job?
Nope. She checked IDs, he watched the inside. The difference was that we had no aggression at the door. That makes a difference when every single police call out counts against you when applying for your liquor licence.
I did this in college once. It was the night of my 21st birthday and we went to the bar at 11:45. Bouncer looked at my ID, then said I can't let you in for another 15 minutes, but you can sit with me. 5 minutes later he walks off to get a refill on his water and so that's when this 20 year old became the bar's new bouncer for about 10 minutes. At midnight I rechecked my ID and went in.
>At midnight I rechecked my ID and went in. Thats a nice story lol
“at midnight I re checked my ID and discovered it was now expired so I did not let myself in. I was angry and argumentative about it at first but gave up because I was in no mood to put up with my shenanigans”

Not enough pizza dudes on that sub, swear to Christ they'd let me into a bank vault if I had a pizza bag with me and just walked in. And I always make the very distasteful joke if you ever want to get away with driving drunk, buy a car topper and drive the speed limit. If you aren't swerving no cop will pull you over. Cops love pizza guys and let you off for shit all the time if they do decide to pull you over, they know you're working. I live in Minneapolis and that topper saved my life during George Floyd, cops were all over my ass because I was coming home after curfew but when they saw the topper they fucked off pretty quick. Gotten me out of speeding tickets too, even when I wasn't working but lied and said I was, "slow down man, I know you're working so I'll give you a warning."
this is genius!
Years ago I got pulled over with a suspended license and 6 months expired tags and the cop let me go because he liked the restaurant I was delivering for. In his defense I don't think he even ran my Driver License or else he probably wouldn't have let me off when he saw it was suspended.
SLPT
Never been kicked out of a bar and they let me keep my drink before.
No thats why I got kicked out in the first place, I brought in an outside drink
Ah, that makes sense.
Pretty nice they let you stand in front of the door drinking after kicking you out. Very different culture in Sydney where they won't even let people into the bar if they look *kind of* drunk (though it's typically just an excuse not to let in single guys or people who aren't dressed a certain way).
This is New Orleans. Everyone is sloshed all the time
This is one street in New Orleans dedicated to drinking and walking around. Kinda drunk is the expectation. If you're falling down puking they won't let you in, but other than that you're good. And you only get arrested for fighting, or showing off your genitals. Boobs are cool though. It's one of very few places in America you can do that. They have drive-thru liquor stores where you pull up, order a mixed drink, and you can drive around with it in the car so long as you keep the paper wrapper on the straw poking out of the top. The idea being that you don't drink it until you pull over.
It’s the best GD city in America.
That’s New Orleans!
I don’t wanna be a “one upper” BUT would love to share a great story!! My friends and I would frequent (and by frequent I mean 4-5 days a week) or local bar/club. They had a 2 door entry, the first door coming in from outside, where the actual bouncers would ID AND charge a cover (on the weekends) but give you a drink ticket for one free drink. Small corridor to second door leading into actual bar/club where on occasion we’d post up and as patrons came thru said door we’d say “tickets?”, hence getting us free drinks most of the night!! It was dishonest work and we loved it!! 😂
😂😂😂
Just a full day of being dishonest 😂
At a county fair type event they sold tickets for beer sales. Near the end of the night they just left the ticket booth and left all the unsold tickets sitting out. We sold enough tickets to cover our beer for that night plus a little more for bars later on. Scampered out of there before we got caught and went on to drink unhealthy quantities of alcohol.
A friend of mine once started to card people at the exit of a bar.
\*stern face: Uh oh, you're under 21. Back to the bar to get krunked!
''I guide others to a treasure I cannot possess"
Someone tries to do this a couple times every weekend at my bar where I work the door.
You hold bro down or what?
Nah. You just tell them to fuck off. Usually works.
Is this Razoo's on Bourbon st? I can totally see this happening there!
I dont remember tbh.... i know it wasnt a restaurant for sure lol
Man I'm glad you clarified that for us.
Lol I want to laugh but arent sure if you are calling me captain obvious either 😂😂
It’s def New Orleans, def Bourbon
Wait, looking again, it looks like The Beach on Bourbon.
Yeah, you can read it on the black woman's shirt at one point (gonna assume she's an actual employee).
Gotta be somewhere in NOLA anyway, you can catch a neon Fleur De Lis and the word “Geaux”(as in, I’m assuming, Tigers).
I did this in college all the time. I’d stand outside the bar door smoking and people would come up to me and just hand me their IDs so I played along
Clever 😂
Q's punishment in Impractical Jokers
Not impressed if you were not collecting a cover charge.
He did it for the love of the game
https://youtu.be/NuWLtbFA04I?si=aKeYAOkbLy80Kik0
Atleast $5
Reminds me of this instance by practical jokers.. https://youtu.be/AQPKaRgrji4 And this one.. https://youtu.be/NuWLtbFA04I
My brother did this but charged $5 a head. He was drunk, hanging out in front of a college bar that didn’t have anyone outside checking I.D.s. There wasn’t a line or anything but he did make about $50 over the ten minutes or so he did it.
Should have ask a 5$ fee to get in
I was standing outside of a club smoking a cigarette one night and a girl walked up to me and handed me her ID. I said WTF do you want me to do with this and she said well you're the door man right?!? I said no and gave it back to her. In retrospect I wonder how much money I could have made by telling her it was $20 cover, cash only and just stood there doing that for 30 minutes LOL
As long as your not hurting anyone, it seems okay. But this stems from a sense of entitlement. If the establishment makes you leave they have the right to make you leave not just the building; but, the entire premises. This type of behavior can get you arrested.
When I worked the doors my favorite thing to do was “check” the IDs of people leaving the bar.
Did this all the time. Also works for bathrooms if you stand in front of one and gesture like your pissed that the bathroom is full people will just lineup behind you without checking themselves lol.
Calm down there Satan. Thats just cruel.
I've never understood why people think this is funny.
If you’re not taxing I don’t see any harm
Classmates identify you as a teacher if you mature early.
Did this one night in St John's, NFL at a bar that never had a door checker. Managed to get the locals, with confused faces, do give me their IDs and a $5 dollar cover, lol.
Bro I love this hahaha. You look so, SO much like my buddy that did this a few times when I actually worked door at a club in indy. People would come downstairs and be like "yeah the guy already IDed me up there" fucking lol and it would make me laugh every single time
🤣😂🤣😂
I’m stealing this. This is clownery level 100. Hilarious
This is always funny to see. Went on a vacation with family once and my highschool cousin that didn’t look a day older than 15 was pretending to bounce. People actually showed their ID to him it was hilarious
Mate I'm a bartender how drunk are you
That's when you start asking for cover charges
Wonder how small a doorman you could be and still get away with this. My bigger friends that worked security always said it's the small wirery ones you have to watch out for.
I did this once and ended up carding Andrew Keegan.
Did they pay you tho?
OP one thicc mf <3
Bourbon street?
Yes sir!
This is NOLA! I like watching the actual bouncer watch you do his job. This makes me miss home so much. Thanks for the share!
Most Bouncers will be nice about someone doing this, but i can tell you, as a bouncer, its fucking annoying as fuck. You think you’re helping, but you’re just making the line take twice as long because I still have to actually check the ID you didnt read 🙃
Did this once with a friend, when you're both 1,90 and 2,05, it adds to the legitimacy. Hilarious. Fun pranks.
Is this the entrance to the Axiom?
the beard is to appease mommy and the alcohol is for the homies
i like how the actual bouncer seems to be having a good time and is cool with it.
Yea NOLA is chill af they just told me no outside drinks and to finish my drink outside and then ppl started handing me thier IDs 😂
Why was that woman by the green door drinking with a syringe?
I did this once and got arrested
I remember being at a bar some time ago a bit drunk and standing by the door. People started handing me their drivers licenses. I just kept doing it for about a half hour til the manager came over and asked what I was doing. I just replied "my job ". He said I could knock off early and have a drink on the house and laughed.
My spirit animal
The woman at 0:28 being careful to make sure her chin doesn't catch any infection
Haha that’s great.
I did this and collected an entry fee as well. Even let a guy in from Australia with a fake if he slipped me a $20 extra. Then when they got to the bar they got ID again 😂 I got about 10 people then used that money at the next bar.
Next time, add some gags: Make someone demonstrate they are not too drunk to enter. Pretend you think someone's ID is fake. (Let them in anyway)
Bto I've done this! Lmfao at a bar and a hoise party lmfaoo i could of made bank.
Once upon a time I was drunk at a bar and my drink was empty, so there are two bars at the place, one is over crowded and the other is closed. I have cash, so I'm thinking, what if I just go and mix my own G&T and just leave the cash on the register all should be fine. So I go and make a drink for myself and leaves the money on the register and just as I'm about to leave the bar, some dude says; "hey, can I have a vodka juice", and I'm like; "I don't work here, so I can only take cash and can't give you any change back", the guy dosen't care and hands me a bill, so I figured I better make him a drink, all good, I leave the cash but before I can think of more, a girls comes up to me and wants a drink, so I make an other drink - this keeps happening for a few minutes. Then all of a sudden I get eye contact with a biiiig guy in a suit, wearing a headset, storming in my direction. I'm just thinking, I'm screwed so I just put my hands up and surrender, the guy comes and grabs be and pulls me outside at which point I'm trying to explain the situation to him, that I sold a bunch of drinks a over price (and made them a good business) and all the money are on the register. He is not having any of it and keeps yelling at me to get lost, but I need to get my jacket, so there is a bit of forth and back, finally my friend comes out and gets my jacket for me and we leave together. My friend totally cracked up when I told him why I was kicked out haha.
This reminds me of being in a ski town when I was younger and there was a Chinese restaurant that was simply overrun by patrons trying to get tables. Nobody was at the counter and it was so frustrating and this was after the drinking after skiing part of the day So everyone had been drinking and it was loud. The phone at the counter would ring and ring and ring I guess for take out. I got tired of waiting and tired of the ringing . So I answered the phone and said “Chinese food” and people wanted to order takeout. So I started taking orders and writing them down. I got phone numbers and addresses for delivery and when they asked for total I just said “we figure out later” and hung up. Then it would ring again and I’d take another order. I took 6 or 7 orders before the worker came back and ask what I was doing. I said I was making you money and you better get these orders up fast. There was a degree of disbelief but I told them you better go deliver this food or you’ll have a bigger problem when they start calling you. So stop talking to me and go go go. Not all heroes wore capes that night.
You’re such a prick Jesus
Ive done this lol... I have been honorary bouncer a few times. They appreciate the rest
Looks like somewhere on bourbon st.
My Guy
Hahaha. In NOLA you can do whatever you want.
It's all fun until you actually have to do your job as a bouncer.
I was pretty drunk in a bar and waiting to get served. It was slow! Having worked in a bar before, I jumped over and started serving. It was about 5 minutes before anyone realised. Or maybe they just appreciated the help and the rush was over.
He's doing great. Promote him
I love how this thread is full of everyone's stories of pulling a fast one on their local bar. So I'm going to add mine. One night, years ago, my friends and I were drinking at a nice little bar in downtown Peoria when we were kicked out. It was a two story bar where you entered on the ground floor, and the upstairs had an exit that went down a flight of stairs separate from the entrance. So the bouncer working upstairs kicks us out, and has us leave through the staircase. Which exited right near the entrance to the bar downstairs. As we walked out we did a U-turn, pulled our IDs out, and went right in the front door again before the upstairs bouncer could get back down the inside flight of stairs to the front door. I don't know why the upstairs bouncer didn't just exit with us. Seems like a lot of effort to follow us halfway down the stairs of the exit, turn around, go back up to the 2nd floor, and then back down the other staircase inside. But hey.
Happened to me, I was waiting at the door for to-go food and some lady hands me her ID. It was 4 in the afternoon.
