This is for anyone that has ever been turned away from a nightclub by a bouncer.
When it comes to describing the awkward interaction that most people will inevitably have with a bouncer, Alex Turner really did nail it with the Arctic Monkeys track From the Ritz to the Rubble.
For example, hands up if you’ve ever felt a bouncer had “no time for you, looking or breathing” before making you to “step out the queue, he makes examples of you”?
Yep, we’ve all been there.
The big question remains though, do you take this rejection with dignity before deciding to find another watering hole, or do you double down in your efforts to get into the club?
A bit of charm can go a long way towards swaying anyone that works the door at a nightclub, but in the case of this gentleman in Manchester, he refused to “swap jumpers and make another move.”
Rather than accept that he wasn’t going to be allowed into the club, this fella decided to argue with the door staff. In fact, he thought that it would be a good idea to hand his phone to a complete stranger to record the whole argument that he was having with the members of staff.
It doesn’t take a genius to guess what happened next.
Here’s why it’s a good idea to accept that you’re not getting in.

The Greater Manchester Police decided to share this story on Twitter in the hope that it will remind people ” of the need to look after your stuff at all times, and to be careful who you trust.”
Jesus, talk about having a bad night!
After learning that this randomer ran off with the man’s phone, we’re instantly reminded of this moment from The Simpsons.
