A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Public freakout
Today, a customer at work became violent and started hitting me and my coworker. Not wanting him to get the shit beat out of us, I used a move that pinned the guy on the ground. The police came and he was arrested. I was then fired for assaulting a customer. FML

Today, I got fired from my job. I caught a customer taking pictures up my skirt, and my boss fired me for calling the police and "making a big deal out of it". FML

Today, I got fired from work. Why? I finally took a stand for myself and confronted my coworker of writing things up in my name for herself, and it getting deducted from my check. So she went to the manager and accused me of sexual harassment. FML

Today, I was not yet wearing my bouncer uniform when a fight broke out at a club. I intervened, only to have the cops who showed up tase me because they thought I was part of it. FML

Today, I'm recovering from being pepper-sprayed, beat with a baton and Tased, and arrested for assault. I'm a bouncer and was trying to remove a drunk asshole from the bar when the police showed up. FML

Today, after being a resident DJ at a local club for over 4 years, I got fired. Not because I'm bad at what I do, but because my boss thinks I'm not 'having fun like the other DJs'. And by 'having fun' he means that I don't drink enough. I got fired for not being an alcoholic. FML

Today, my boss fired me. I still can't really explain where the slap I gave him for it came from, though. FML

What did you do? There IS a limit to how you can legally treat a person, even bouncers!

In fact bouncers have no special rights. They are not even considered equal to a security guard in a parking lot...He's lucky to not being sued.

Not cool if you're applying your violence and intimidation to the "talent."

Well... How else will he get the strippers to do the nasty with him? ;)

FYL OP. Maybe find a job that's not a titty bar...

Just maybe, I'm guessing here, there's not a lot of job opportunities where he lives. It's like that everywhere.

Just maybe, I'm guessing here, there are jobs everywhere. People are just too idiotic to get hired or too stubborn to work an average job.

49- I'm pretty sure working as a bouncer in a strip club is an "average" job. And no, jobs are not everywhere. If jobs were easy to find then just maybe, I'm guessing here, the economy wouldn't be as shitty as it is.

Maybe your boss was high on crack at the time. Hardcore drugs seem to go hand in hand with titty bars.

Well being a bouncer doesn't give you the right to beat up people. Your job is to prevent and stop the violence. If you exagerated that's your problem.

Sounds like you might have abused your power. If someone gets out of hand, did you just escort him out or find a need to beat the hell out of him first and throw him out the door on his face? I've seen some bouncers act like they're gods at the club's doors!

It sounds like they were just looking for a reason to let you go and they chose a totally bullshit one. Sorry OP :( Best of luck finding a better job.

Well ain't that a bit ironic. Get paid to do something and then fired for doing your job, that sucks.

We all don't know the situation that led to OP's dismissal. Maybe he went a bit overboard with a customer, maybe he got violent with a coworker (that happens too), or maybe his ex-boss is just an arbitrary, capricious jerk and OP looked at his boss the wrong way last night. All kinds of things happen. I'm inclined to extend the benefit of the doubt for right now. OP, good luck finding another job. Just a thought: maybe you want to take some classes or something to develop other interests of yours into more marketable skills so you can get a better job, one where bosses aren't quite so fickle as to fire you at the drop of a hat? If you get another bouncing job at night, that'd let you take classes during the daytime.
