To think this is actually really creepy?

[Fired]

I've just seen this viral post on the reddit front page. It was posted in a "Made Me Smile" section.

To me it seems very creepy! This bouncer, a stranger, took another drunk (vulnerable) stranger to their home, undressed them and put them to bed and then is happy to let them stay and use their home like a hotel? Bonkers!

Almost like the beginning of a serial killer film or something. The person tries to leave the house only to find they are locked in and can't escape.

I think that’s quite sinister. It’s the fact that it’s a printed leaflet not a quickly handwritten note.

I don’t know a single door person who would refer to themselves as a ‘bouncer’ so on that basis I think the whole thing is bollocks.

But yes, creepy as fuck.

Is this true?! Definitely creepy!

Yeah, I'm hoping it's fake! But the sheer number have people that have liked the post and made it so popular obviously shows people think this is a good/kind thing to do.

Better than leaving them in a state where they were vulnerable and incapable of looking after themselves surely? OK some might say the bouncer should have called the police, but the police have enough to do, and being drunk and incapable is a crime so the bouncer might have saved the person from getting into trouble.

The only person in the wrong is the one who got so drunk they couldn't look after themselves. We shouldn't blame the person who did a nice thing to help them out.

I saw it this morning and presumed it was a load of shite too. So detailed and yet they don't bother to say where the washing machine is

I don’t think it’s creepy simply because that person’s job brings them into contact with too drunk, vulnerable women almost every shift they do. I can see how a caring person would be troubled by this and not want to just leave work while a drunk woman is passed out in the street or staggering about lost in a less than nice part of a city. So, giving them a safe place to sleep it off, is a good thing surely? So it makes sense to have a typed up generic note rather than handwrite a special one each time.

It would be creepy if it were a random Good Samaritan who went out every night hunting for a woman to “rescue” but that’s not the context.

I met several who did while living in the US. Where is this post originating?

If they were in that much of a state that they were incapable of looking after themselves then actually they'd be better off calling an ambulance/police.

Having known someone who had her drink spiked and woke in a strange bed with no memories of how she got there, this is terrifying and inappropriate.

Doesn't similar happen in 50 shades when she first meets Christian?

I vaguely remember her being in just her undies and him saying she was mortal and threw up on her clothes (paraphrased there obv lol).

I agree it's creepy and be worried about what this bouncer did to me if I was so black out drunk tbh! (As sad a thought as that is how would I know this wasn't the way this bouncer got his kicks?!)

Gives me the heebie jeebies indeed!

Side note: in my younger days I engaged in very risky behaviour going back with random blokes "for a drink at theirs"... I blacked out once but woke up fully dressed (including my Spanx) and the bloke actually brought me a cup of water and cup of tea then drove me home. I decided there and then I was an idiot and no longer went back with random blokes. Obviously this guy turned out to be a decent bloke but I think it was just pure luck.

Makes me feel sick thinking about it!

If you see someone unconscious in the street through drink the socially responsible person calls and ambulance and/or the police to deal with it. The latter will give them a safe place to sleep it off.

So you would be happy with your incoherent daughter being taken home to a complete strangers house, being undressed and put to bed, all without her knowledge or consent?! I would rather the police were called. I also would make sure my number was in their phone as an emergency contact.

But they did it with such pre planning, they've got a pre typed note!!
Imagine being out of it, some guy dragging you into his care then his home, peeling your clothes off whilst you try to protest but then you black out. You wake up undressed in a strange room with a note telling you to hang out as long as you want, if you go downstairs there's a dog and yeah, he does this often enough to have printed out what happened.

There must be so many drunk, incapable people coming out of clubs and bars every weekend.
Are they going to take them all home?
Why have they taken their jewellery off?

I'd definitely choose the sneaking out without saying a word option and sprinting down that hill 🤣

If this happened to someone I knew I'd be telling them to go to the police tbh.

Oh no, just the hot ones he can take photos of and share with his mates

I worked in clubs for years, the security I knew were OBSESSIVE about professionalism. I saw them remove creepy men from extremely drunk women, I saw them sit with legless women coaxing info out of them - address etc and calling taxis to ensure they were home safe. This is an act of madness, and almost certainly not true as why would someone risk their job like that?

It’s a dangerous thing to do, the bouncer opens himself up to being accused of sexual offences

I really, really don't think this is real. Far too many potential issues, far too many reasons why it couldn't work in practice.

I think it's something someone thought up as a well-intentioned concept and image. Nothing more.

Looks like it was written by Joe Goldberg from You

The only person in the wrong is the one who got so drunk they couldn't look after themselves

Would you still say that if she'd been raped?

Yeah, that's creepy.

The typed note makes it seem this is a regularl occurrence

This isn't real, surely.

It’s bound to be bollocks isn’t it though? I mean would the really take time go type out and print that off?

Btw there is no way in earth a properly trained and registered bouncer would ever take a drunk person to their home. They should be reported if they have. But they just wouldn’t.
