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
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...
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.
LOL "hold on it's my turn" ?!?!?!?! Love it!!!!
ReplyDeleteHa, 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!
ReplyDeleteOMG seriously.....ugh I see this all the time with the security officers my husband manages, BIG egos thinking they have more authority than they do! I hope your boys still had a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a bit too much over some beer. When using authority goes wrong! lol.
ReplyDeleteLOL!!!!!! That is too funny ... too many bouncers have some kind of authority complex!!
ReplyDeleteWait so he is legal drinking age, right? What was the problem? Just because his licnese had been expired for two days?? What in the world! Those passes were the least the bowling alley could do.
ReplyDeletetoo 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!
ReplyDeletehaha I had to laugh at this. What the actual eff! He couldnt drink from your cup??? At a bowling alley??? No way! This must be a joke lol
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteBowling 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
ReplyDeleteKristen @ Your Beauty Fix
That's stupid. Just b/c his license was expired doesn't mean shit. He legally shouldn't drive but he can still drink!
ReplyDeleteUgh some people let a teensy bit of power go to their heads, glad you didn't take any of their crap!! And that GIF is so hilarious, I can't stop watching it!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha that story just made my day. Such badasses. I love it.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, how crazy! i know working somewhere like a bank that an expired license (one day or one year) would not be accepted, but at a bar? as if. and a bowling alley? laughable. seriously, how embarrassing for them! i wouldnt go back.
ReplyDeleteBouncers pretty much just have the power of fear that your not gonna challenge them. They all have vision of being Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse....
ReplyDeleteWow, that is expensive bowling. Sorry about the huge ordeal!
