Clubbing culture vs the States

[Assy888]

At least you have multiple sources from both ends of the political spectrum unlike here where find out who fell into the toilet or which bike got smashed into.

And the police may ignore you, but won’t shoot you.

Oh wait, that’s a good thing

And couldn’t hit you even if they tried.

[tempogain]

They have hit people at times

Sure, but not the people they were aiming at.

OK, this is getting a bit serious for a thread about “clubbing culture.”

2 of my friends got peppersprayed when some 5ft 5 bouncer went apeshit after one accidently spilled his drink on the dance floor. We don’t take disrespect like that. Apeshit bouncer was getting held back by a couple other bouncers. Then outside the venue my friend basically said let’s “go” if u want then got sprayed. This guy powertripped so hard over an accidently spilled drink.

Could have happened, sure, but this is Taiwan. Pretty peaceful, and you gotta look far and wide to find any Taiwanese who’ll pepperspray a customer just for spilling a drink, mini-bouncers included.

Why do I get the feeling that there may be another side to this story?

[Assy888]

My point is that the bouncers are over agressive for no absolute reason. They just need to take a chill pill and stand in the corner. Only act if someone is breaking the rules or doing some weird shit. No need to get agressive with people that are obviously going to get drunk in a CLUB

@Dr_Milker

Were you removed by a bouncer?

They couldn’t move me if they tried. But I don’t make it into clubs much these days because the doors are so damn narrow.

Taiwanese club owners don’t pay bouncers to take pills and stand in a corner.

Uh huh. Anyway, act like you’re somebody, or drink less, and I think you’ll be just fine.

Good luck!

These were all times I didn’t get bottle service. When I do they don’t touch you at all. Just my observation going clubbing in Taipei over the years.

That sounds like the good old Taiwanese club owner business model. Kick out people who party on the cheap or who are too drunk to order many more drinks. Keep those high rollers with bottle service.

Did an ABT hurt you im sorry. We’re just here to have fun. Note that I’m talking about clubs not speakeasies

What?

Anyway, I think if you’re running into problems at virtually every club you go to then well…it’s probably time to look inward.

You just need to think of this as part of the exotic local culture when you’re slumming it in Taiwan. I mean, if club culture were the same here as it was in the U.S., what would be the point of coming, right? Just imagine you’re on a safari or something and you’ll be in the right headspace.

[Assy888]

Gold mine of Taiwanese/Asian compared to states. Easier too

[Dr_Milker]

@Assy888

Easier too

Except for the short apeshit bouncers, amirite?

[Assy888]

0 problems in the states and I go every week. 30% chance of problems here without table. 0% chance with table here. Not bad. That 30% chance without bottle service pisses me off as it should be nada

Just get a table every time, then. Problem solved.
