got dragged out of my local pub in the town center and into a irish pub chain..... and i was refused entry because and i quote "your too pissed" thing is i had only been out for 2 hours at that point and had only 4 shots of jack daniels with pepsi..... when i asked as to how he worked that out, "its your eyes they're to dilated, so your on something as well."
to which i explained that my eyes do that after one drink, i claimed its the beginings of glycoma (which my grandfather on my mums side had.) and there is nothing i can do about it..... and then walked away calling him a shaved ape,*it should be noted that he was white and had a bald head* (a good insult for a doorman, because most of them are neanderthals who are looking for a fight.) he made reference to me being of the homosexual preference....... and i left it at that and went back to the pub i spend most of my spare money in.
but the reason why i bring it up is am i the only one who's eyes are freaky (baring in mind my eyes dilate after the first drink, and i have red eyes in 99.99% of photos) or was i right on blaming it on a family members health condition?
thoughts?

I`m a bouncer and to be honest, if I saw you coming up to the door and your eyes were "freaky" I probably wouldn`t let you in either.
He`s got to make a judgement on you based on what he sees in front of him. There is no way he could know that your eyes go funny after a drink or two.
Insulting him as you were walking away wasn`t the best way to deal with it. I personally just ignore it but I know plenty of guys that would chase you down the street and give you a right good kicking. You never know with some people.
And given that you were prepared to walk down the street shouting abuse probably makes him correct in not letting you into the pub.

And given that you were prepared to walk down the street shouting abuse probably makes him correct in not letting you into the pub. it wasnt yelling i just said it as i was about two steps away from him........ wasnt the smartest thing to do i know......... but i have been in that pub on many occasions, (know some of the staff well enough to be recognised and not need to specify what i am drinking.), i have cut down half of the conversation, i know how difficult working the doors can be, have worked in a pub for 3 years in the past 5 years, i reacted to him in a purely passive way..... he took that for me being gay.... hence the comment as i walked away, to be honest i will appologise for anything next time i get into town on a weekend night. i know he was doing his job, but it was the first time i have ever been turned away for being drunk, (and i wasnt.) for all i know he could just of been having a bad day, and decided to take it out on me..... i honestly wasnt being a pain in the arse to him, just questioned him as to why i wasnt being let in to the pub. |

If you didn`t have a real go at him (which was how I read it the first time) and he seems to have a problem with you in the future you should speak to the manager.
If I refuse entry to someone and they become abusive, chances are it`s simply because they`re drunk and are frustrated because you are ruining their night. If the guy comes back again and appologises I see no problem in letting him in the next time. If his behaviour is the same the next time then obviously the guy is not suitable for entry.
So if the guy doesn`t accept any appology you offer you should speak to the manager. The guy should not be questioning your sexuality, or giving you any hassle for that matter. His job is keep the pub safe not carry on personal vendettas with people.

that i know, i wasnt give him hassle over it...... like i said i have worked in a pub and know how much hassle doormen get, and how to react to them (as in not being agressive or calling them every name under the sun, im not an agressive person sober hell even when i am drunk i'm not an agressive person..... life is too short.) i know that when they decide that "your not coming in" there isnt a chance of you getting in that night...... next time i go out if i go there i'll apologise if he's on the doors, if he doesnt accept it. i just wont go near the place when the doorstaff are on, because they wont go in for the manager on the night.
anyway the point of this thread was does anyone have any idea as to why my eyes do that?

If the barkeep was an elderly thirtysomething like myself, I have to admit that dilated, drunky eyes are something I notice in younger twentysomething people pretty easily. Consider it a compliment to your youthful vitality.
