I was a bouncer at a bar

[phoopes]

A couple got engaged in our bar the other day. Someone willingly got on one knee on that gross-ass sticky floor and proposed.

it was still cute though

"I took an arrow to the knee" is olden slang for getting married, in reference to that one dude who kneeled down on this bar's gross floor to propose and ended up with sepsis in his knee. Tragic.

How many fakees did you remove in the past week?

How many fakees did you remove in the past week?

realized I never answered this. The answer was none, for a few reasons:

1. less fake IDs than you would think
2. I'm not usually the one carding too often because we have more experienced carders that are better at catching fakes than me
3. it's summer, I'm in a college town, there's less foot traffic in general

---

that said, I have an announcement to make:

At the end of the month I'm moving back in with my parents to save some money so I will no longer be working at the Irish bar that I've come to know and love. Will this be the end of my bouncing career? Not sure, depends on what kind of job I pick up back in my hometown. I might bounce somewhere, if so I'll probably revive this thread. But if I get a different kind of job, maybe it'll be good enough to warrant its own thread. We'll see! Thanks for following along this relatively short journey that didn't have too many updates by the end lol

[VoolPool]

A few things:

1. I didnt even change the thread title myself, it was probably just ante being funny

2. I literally gave my two weeks notice that I was quitting in this thread the same day I gave it to my boss

3. Rooting for/being excited that someone else potentially got fired from their job is really shitty

 

[aurora]

you were a bouncer. you no longer like to bounce

 

[az]

didn't read the thread but sorry you got fired, phoopes
