For a long while, my personal ideas, knowledge and interests as well as accounts and warnings from others and the news kept me out of nightclubs. Still, a day came when I ended up going to one for a little while. Never again. It was like
everything I dislike times ten! Here's what I mean:
- Drunk people are not my idea of fun. They act silly and careless. They share their drinks. They grab at strangers because, on top of all of the other issues they have, they've now also lost their better judgment. Drinks themselves, even if no one has drank any, equal disgusting.
- Nightclubs are dark, as if night isn't dark enough alone, now you can't even see the stranger who is grabbing at you!
- What light there is will probably be strobe lights. Is that dancing I see? Nope, the lights have just caused someone else a seizure.
- There is enough bass and volume that, not only will you need to scream directly into a person's ear to be heard but may easily be knocked across to the other side of the room before you can.
- You cannot get in without wacky, tacky stamps or passes. Wait on a line in the rain? Be asked your name and to see your ID ten times? Have a sticker wrapped around you that closely resembles a hospital wristband? Then, be stamped with some neon star that somehow can only be seen under a weird light? NO, thank you.
- Bad/false advertisement - So, they said they have a dress code and put a nice picture on the flier? Well, then why are there so many poorly-dressed, poorly-scented people in a venue that looks nothing like the pictures? Another question, why are so many fliers even tackier than the stamps, with trashy-looking "models?" BAD and FALSE advertisement.
- Crowded - Okay, so maybe the venue wasn't all that bad (okay yeah, it was) but with such magnanimous amounts of people, some on stilts, the crowds make it a big issue. There is no crowd control. At home, I have my own room; at clubs, I stand in a corner with 3 big dudes?
- Security is not so great. While they do ask for your name and ID several times and just may have a medal detector,...even they look like nighttime. With black uniforms, how do you know who security is? Maybe the guy who just asked for your ID was actually trying for identity theft. And, don't let there be coat-check. You'll be walking in that rain coat-less afterward.
- Music/dancing - Class....less!
Ooops, did I put nine reasons o_0 My bad...but now, I'm sure you get my drift!
