Getting bounced from you’re favourite bar or nightclub sucks, and the worst part for most of us is that the reasons are always so trivial that they make no sense. So we spoke to Max the bouncer who works the door at one of Sydney’s number 1 venue’s to help understand how the mind of the bouncer works.
“You see, what people have to understand is, if you look like a trouble maker, we aren’t gonna let you in… You might be a good guy but I’m not going to take the chance. The reasons we give are just designed to be non confrontational, so you leave without carrying on like a muppet… but in saying that, sometimes we like to have a bit of fun with them”
So here are just a few:
What they say: “Sorry we can’t let you in with those shoes”
What they mean: “We were never going to let you in and your shoes a shit”
What they say: “No rat’s tails”
What they mean: “It doesn’t matter, if you have a rat’s tail, you weren’t going to pick up anyway… and get a haircut”
What they say: “Guest list only”
What they mean: “You’re a bloke, if you were a girl, different story”
What they say: “Too many guys, go get some girls and you can come in”
What they mean: “I’m challenging you to get girls… and I don’t think you have a chance”
What they say: “You’re too drunk”
What they mean: “You’re too drunk”
What they say: “Sorry no opened toed shoes inside of this nightclub”
What they mean: “We think you’re hot, but we are working and if we can’t have you no one can”
Just to give you a bit of an idea what goes on in the heads of the burly doormen
