I got kicked out of a bowling alley...

Monday, June 23, 2014

Ya know when you're gearing up for a Friday night the possibility of a bar fight or something crazy happening at Waffle House at 3am is not too far fetched. However, when you're gearing up for a Friday night that begins with 2 kids and Applebees... Drama is not an expectation.

My son has been staying with his dad or my mom during the week because I don't have childcare for him during the summer. I only get to spend time with him on the weekends and I really want to make them special. I mean its summer vacation for them, too bad mom is stuck at work all day everyday!

Mike and I decided to take the two oldest boys cosmic bowling. We began the night at Applebees... yay for a cheat meal I was craving bread and juicy hamburgers like no other. Clean eating sucks big fat balls in case you didn't know!

After eating a glorious calorie filled meal we decided to head on over to the bowling alley. It was still early so we hung out in the arcade for a while until it was time to pay for cosmic bowling.

Let me just say it was 60$ for us. SIXTY. To throw a heavy as ball down a floor.. RIDICULOUS!

maybe this is why its so expensive


Anyway, I finally figure out how to put our names on the board because I'm an idiot genius, and we begin playing. My brother went and got a pitcher of beer for him and Mike and it looked like the evening was off to a good start. However, when Mike asked for an extra cup they asked for his ID. My man is 32 years old with a full on beard..he in no way looks underage. The lady then refuses to give him a cup because his license is expired by 2 freaking days! So I just pull out my ID and get a cup. No big deal, we continue to bowl.

All of a sudden a group of 3 men in matching neon shirts approached us with arms crossed and mean looks on their faces.

Apparently because Mike drank from 'my' cup we were being thrown out of the bowling alley for illegal drinking.. wait what? No...we're all of age (except the kids, they're still bowling) and his license was expired for all of TWO DAYS.

Mike said fine but I want my 60 bucks back, I mean we had literally been there for like 10 minutes. The guy goes back and forth with Mike threatening to call the police if we didn't leave. Mike then put his finger up said hold on its my turn, walked away from the bouncers and bowled. hashtag zero fucks given.

So the bouncers leave to 'go get the police' and we continue to bowl... total lack of respect for authority right now yall... such a horrible example for our kids. At this point Im like maybe we should go I mean you dont need to get arrested over hot as beer in a bowling alley. The bouncers return in about 2 minutes. Um sir, we're going to let you stay (read there isnt shit we can do about it) but don't let us see you drinking again. Mike says no Im leaving and I want my money back.

We walked out pretty pissed off, we didnt get our money back but we got 2 free passes for next weekend. And what did I learn from this whole fiasco? Bouncers pretty much have no authority what so ever and the look on their faces when Mike challenged their empty threats.. Priceless.

  2. Ha, this is hilarious. This is one of those situations where my asshole attorney side comes out and I would have ripped into those bouncers and then the managers. You showed your children not to stand up to bullies!

  7. too funny. i would have stayed and kept drinking though. your man doesn't sound 19, you were there with kids, he had a legitimate license with his picture on it and clearly stated his birthday... last I checked you couldn't drive on an expired license but no where did I see you couldn't drink. geesh!

  9. I love the "I dont give a fuck" attitude. Hilarious to me. Esp when bouncers think they have authority when they don't. since when is it wrong for people of age to drink. I mean, wtf. They need to get a grip and check the laws.

  10. I hate that whole "expired driver license" thing. It's SO STUPID. Just because it's expired doesn't mean this isn't still my name or my age. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

  11. Bowling in NYC is so expensive! We even have places where you can't wear jeans!!! What kind of bowling alley doesn't let you wear jeans? Should I come in a ball gown instead? LOL

  12. That's stupid. Just b/c his license was expired doesn't mean shit. He legally shouldn't drive but he can still drink!

  16. Bouncers pretty much just have the power of fear that your not gonna challenge them. They all have vision of being Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse....
