      Instead, bouncers’ job is to make you feel insecure and rejected for no reason.

        Only bad ones at bad places. I used to be a bouncer for years.

        I was a guardian of “you” and my bartenders. I got you home safe, got rid of sexual predators and creeps, and gave you a light for your cigarettes and joints even though I don’t smoke either anymore. Someone to chat with at length when you were just there because you had to. I suppose I would boost the occasional self-esteem too :]

        I would also beat people up and sometimes pepper spray their mouth and eyeballs if they were violent assclowns. Such is life!

          I was only being half serious. I was mostly referring to “trendy places” that profile patrons, often racist etc. I do know many good bouncers at good establishments and they try to filter out dangerous people, like drunk/high dudes or bachelor/ette parties.

      But… he took the insecurity away from you, and he’ll hold onto it until you are ready to leave the club, at which point a different comment will give it right back, to you and only you, and even with interest.

      Omg I can’t believe you actually bought that line I said when you went in - you are such a dweeb, next time just stay home dumbass!

      So does he suck, or is he a master at the game? :-P

        It’s a joke. It’s definitely meant to be Nightclub, but that’s what makes it funny to confidently claim it’s Fightclub.

        If it were a fight club, they’d be perfectly dressed in… Pretty much anything, so if it WAS fight club, the guard is just being a guard. At least that’s how I’d interpret their comment.
