| This happened last weekend, its not really a burn-out so much as technically I wasnt even hitting on the girl, but its funny and a learning experience on how to deal with bad blow outs, so here goes:
Im with a group of forty some people who took a bus from Copenhagen to Stockholm, for the sole intention of partying it up in THE hottest club in that fair blonde city to the north.
I have already secured a solid alpha spot in our group, and we are all up in the VIP section of this highly exclusive club, drinking tons of free booze. I have a fancy hat, which I misplace during the night. Now, its often that girls will steal this hat, and I see a pretty hot chick (not blonde tho!) dancing on the main floor with what I swear is my hat.
I approach her group and smile, try to get close to her but she gives me a really bad look before I can even open my mouth and dances away. She is swinging around and dancing all exotic TO HERSELF, nobody is with her on this show.. Her guy friend shows up in my face and I tell him in English the problem and he tries to explain to me that I "dont belong in this club." I just give him a smirk and turn to the girl and say loudly "Hey is that my hat?!" and reach out to point at it.
At which point a 40 year old midget in a tuxedo runs up and headbutts/rams me in the stomach.
He puts his little fists out like he is going to kick my ass and threatens verbally to do so. Ass-friend once again faces up and is threatening to get me kicked out and I am piss-drunk and getting REALLY fed up with their fucked up holier-than-thou attitude and seriously thinking of knocking his teeth out and just drop kicking that fucking little midget in his fat little head.
But I know better than that. I just put my hands up and say "Hey man I thought she had my hat, later" and walk away and they talk me down behind my back in Swedish...
I walk back to the group, and poke around, and lo and behold there is my hat under a sofa-chair. I pick it up, put it on, and walk back straight over to the rude guy. He has his back turned, and I grab his shoulder firmly and turn him around. You can see the look on his face, he is a bit scared, but I just take the brim of my hat with both hands, pull it snug down and give it a quarter turn with a tip in his direction, old school gangster like. Then I bring my hand up past his face and point at my hat, then point directly at her hat, all the while staring him coldly down.
I have their whole groups attention now (by the way, Im dressed to KILL and wearing a bright red feather boa as well) and even the bitch has stopped dancing.
I use their silence to explain in very solid, very loud danish that none of them had any business treating me like that for any reason whatsoever, and that they had all better grow up and learn some manners. I point down at the midget and say "especially you, or you will learn the hard way that you cant just go around attacking people in clubs." The girl cant even look me in the face, her eyes are down at my feet, the midget is pulling at his necktie and trying to walk away, and ass-friend actually apologizes to me in English.
I just shake my head at them and turn around and head back up the stairs to the VIP tables. My friends on the platform are laughing, and the party goes on..
Lesson learned? Opera Club in Stockholm is full unbelievably snobbish people, but you are still better than they are, so why not stick their noses in it?
Also, had I done anything different, the bouncers would not have hesitated to toss me, VIP or not.
