I was once in 'spoons (I know it says it all really) when a chap on the next table smashed a glass on the table and glassed himself in the forehead and said to his partner, as the blood poured down his face, "are you happy now?!".

Was in the same pub a couple of years earlier,, before it was a Spoons, and a fight broke out. Next thing someone hit another bloke on the back with a chair, just like they used to do in Westerns.

I have long since learned to say no to anyone who suggestions going to said pub Grin

I was in a club back in the early 90's. A guy had bought some chips at the bar/food area, then using his lighter (as it was dark) he showed me he only had 1 eye and he was dipping his chips in the empty socket and eating them. I was a bit Shock

By gum, I've led a sheltered life apart from the time I played golf with pickled onions at 3 in the morning

Went into the McDonalds in Brixton at around 3am (many years ago) with my headphones on playing very loud dance music. As I walked in the back the only person in front of me clearly said something to the guy serving which caused him (the employee) to launch over the counter, grab the guy by the throat and punch him so hard teeth and blood flew out of his mouth. I gently backed out of the McDonalds, dance music still playing in my ears, deciding a filet’o’fish probably wasn’t worth sticking around for..

Dusty that sounds truly disgusting. I used to work in a nightclub and sometimes we'd go for a curry afterwards, often a man would fall face first into his curry on another table. Gross.

A naked bloke chained to a lamppost, in a fairly quiet residential area.

@JiltedJohnsJulie it was pretty grim, and I've got a cast iron stomach Grin

I live rurally. Two men try to push a reluctant donkey into a horse trailer in the pub car park.

I worked at a pub for a bit of extra cash a few years ago - it was a bit of rocker/biker bar, and unless that was your thing you were unlikely to venture in. One day, a guy I'd never seen in before came up to the bar. He seemed quite shy and reserved as he got his drink - had one of those wheeled shopper bags with him, which was a bit unusual.

Anyway, he asked if the pub allowed pets - believing he must mean a dog, I said yes. To which, he leant down, opened up his wheely shopper bag and whipped out a rabbit and two rats.

He never returned after that visit, but there is a Facebook group in his honour. I last spotted him on the bus, kicking off at the driver because he wasn't allowed to bring his BASKET of bunnies on.

I was on holiday with friends (U.K. based). We’d had quite a few beers and we decided it would be an ideal opportunity for one friend to teach us how to grapevine (she did aerobics) down the road back to the youth hostel. Then suddenly two men appeared riding Penny farthing bikes....we stopped in amazement, said nothing, then went back to doing the grapevine! It was so random it still gets brought up 20 years later Grin

I was going into a bar in my home town (quiet market town) with some friends, and saw that dotted around the main entrance and bar area were photocopies of photographs. Looking closer, I saw that one of the photos included me, as a child of about 7, sitting on wall with two other girls I’d known at that age. I went further in, and spotted me in another photo of a larger group of girls. Puzzled and slightly freaked out, I was relieved to learn that one of the girls in the pic was celebrating her 21st and her parents had hired out part of the bar, and as part of the decorations had printed out pictures of her as a girl - I hadn’t put two and two together and realised she was in all the photographs!

@JiltedJohnsJulie

I've seen way too many people having sex in dark corners of clubs.. but sometimes in plain view of everybody. It usually looks like the girl is just sat on the guys lap but I can spot it a mile off. Other people have not been so discreet!

I've seen famous politicians doing drugs off body parts of drag queens while Prince William watches from a nearby table... That kinda sums up the club's I've worked at I think!

But I've also worked the door of an exclusive (ish) but quite dodgy club in North London, where the door was "rushed" by a group of people who had been queuing too long for an event they paid money for - that was pretty scary.

At the same club I was in the office when the owner of the club was kidnapped in front of me and tied up and taken away (apparently he ended up in Africa?!) and didn't return for a year or so.

That was pretty weird I guess.

ScabbyHorse · 21/11/2020 23:40

Not really a night out as I was working behind the bar but at one of the private functions upstairs a massive fight broke out between two families and several people got stabbed with bits of broken glass they used after kicking in the drinks fridges.

I once picked a bloke up who was lying in the middle of the road and put him in my car to take him home, took an hour and a half before he was able to give me directions , drove round and round, pointing out landmarks asking if they looked familiar !

JiltedJohnsJulie · 21/11/2020 23:46

Think that you should write an autobiography DilloGrin

I almost forgot, I once dated a very minor celeb, is there a category below z-list?

A few years after we'd split he came into the nightclub and asked me out. When I said no he proceed to smash the doors to the club and the Police were called.

He was on a night out with his long-term girlfriend, can't imagine why I said no...Hmm

@JiltedJohnsJulie And that's not mentioning the weird, crazy things I'VE done! Honestly, there are SO many stories I want to share but I just can't without it being outing and possible picked up by the Daily Mail haha. I really have seen it all... I'm now quite settled, married and expecting a baby, which has surprised everyone greatly given my antics up until now!

Seasidemumma77 · 21/11/2020 23:52

I was in the pub on the last evening before 2nd lockdown started. Had great evening people watching, from about 7pm lots of single people starting trying to find someone to spend the night with. I went out to beer garden, and witnessed a woman approach a man and say "I know you dont know me, but me and my friend fancy you. You want a threesome?" Without any hesitation he replied that he'd love to but was out with his mate, to which girl said "foursome?" He agreed and they went inside found the respective friends and left together. I was gobsmacked, no chatting, no flirting, just straight down to business!

@Seasidemumma77 that would be an interesting one to have to explain to the Test & Trace contact tracing staff a week later...! Grin

Our first Christmas as a married couple, dh and I decided to go to midnight Mass. We were walking past the pub when all of a sudden there was a huge crashing noise and a stool came flying out of the (closed) pub window Shock

This was followed moments later by the landlord poking his head out of the door and shouting "merry Christmas from the 3 Horseshoes!" Grin Funnily enough it's a night we've never forgotten!
