AIBU? Will I get arrested

I’ve just come home from a girls night in London and it was so fun… we left the bar we was in and spent £1000 on brunch in and when we came back the security wouldn’t let us back in. Even though you could book a reservation online.

I was a bit frustrated and said but we’ve spent money in here all day and went to enjoy the rest of our day and spend more? Someone went to check and then another bouncer came out all angry ‘NO REENTRY’ and I asked about 6 times to speak to a manager, which I was told ‘no’ I probably got a bit annoyed but I never was violent or used any threats.

as I walked away I said ‘we’ll spend our money elsewhere then’ and that one bouncer said ‘yeh do!’

my friend went back and felt the need to apologise and the bouncers went ‘don’t worry it’s just him’ and she said she looked at his phone and it said ‘White female, aggressive, police called’

sorry? I wasn’t aggressive, anyway my friend managed to rebook a table in there to prove a point and we went back 30
minutes later and they let us in and we had a great time.

I’ve been up all night, I suffer with anxiety anyway and the police called bit is playing on my mind- my friend told me stop being silly and stop worrying as I’ve done nothing wrong.

but me being me, I’m ofc worrying!

Why did the group rebook a table to prove a point. Surely proving a point would be spending your money elsewhere because they didn’t let you back in without a booking.

@mumlearningtorun how do you know the phone message, of which you know third hand, was about you? Indeed if it existed at all?

My friend said it straight away, so I know she would’ve seen it - I mean, my other friend said one of the other girls was more mouthy than you- but I was at the front

Ugh I know, but I think they had body cams, and also my name was in the previous booking - so they could find me quite easily 😩😩😩

I honestly don’t think I done anything worth calling the police for….

People are robbed daily in London and the Met do nothing. If it’s all on camera even better, they’ll have video evidence of you doing nothing wrong. We have free speech in this country, you’re allowed to challenge the bouncer on a decision he made. That’s not a crime. If they were that concerned they wouldn’t have let you back in.

OP my son is with the Met, believe me on a Saturday night in London you've got to do far worse than argue with a bouncer to get arrested!!
Calm down, and in future don't drink so much if it makes you argumentative and "aggressive"

Thanks. I guess I’m worried they’ll investigate it and do a delayed arrest. I’ll be on edge for a few days

My husband is security guard and a door supervisor on a weekend. He would never have got the police involved for such a small matter.
At Pride weekend a few years ago, he got battered round the head with a high heel after a lady was been rude to to act on stage and wouldn't leave when asked. A co worker had to escort her out & she went nuts when my husband said she couldn't come back in. He needed 8 stitches.
Don't worry about it. The police have far more pressing matters happening on a Saturday night to deal with x

Edited

That’s what I mean, ‘police called’ seems such a stretch, I wouldn’t have even thought about the police if she hadn’t of said something - instead I would’ve thought ‘3/4 of the bouncers were great, but that one was a bit of a dick!’

If there was a police van already there then it obviously wasn’t for you, was it? There are other “white females”. You need to stop this now and sleep off the alcohol.

I think your friend may have been winding you up.

Why were you desperate to get back into the sort of place that has security?

Really hoping none of these crowd have any sole care of children today.

You all sound embarrassing drunks

how old are you?

Elclr · Today 06:42

As someone who used to work in this area, 9 times out of 10 they call to make you go away. You went away, admittedly you came back but he may have thought it worked. But were let in.

Bars have no re-enter policies to stop you going out to do drugs/get drugs/get weapons etc etc.

Unless you threatened him with violence or said anything that could be considered hate speech. No. No you will not be arrested. Trust me. Police have better and more important things to do.

(Not saying you would do the above or have at all. It's just the few reasons police would follow up).

He was just being an idiot-to try and prove a point -iknow the anxiety feeling-that’s all it is-your anxiety talking and no you won’t be arrested

We are not embarrassing drinks, we was home by 22:30 with a McDonald’s on the train for our 1 hour train journey. It was my 30th birthday drinks.

I don’t think you can call us embarrassing drunks over one moment of us getting annoyed that they wouldn’t let us ‘re enter’ a place that we spent considerable amounts of money and time in when there was plenty of tables and avalibility online. It was purely that 1 security guard was going ‘NO REENTRY ALLOWED’ - but the others were considering letting us in because there was clearly space, regardless

Hardly likely to come back and admit to being an embarrassing drunk, are you.

On the basis of this OP - very much so, yes

Alwaysbella · Today 06:46

we was home by 22.30

but the Op starts at 05.30 and you have to”just got in”

we WERE home by 22.30

Alwaysbella · Today 06:47

Desperate to go back in to a place that had threatened police against you

unfathomable

Alwaysbella · Today 06:48

I asked about 6 times to speak to a manager, which I was told ‘no’ I probably got a bit annoyed but I never was violent or used any threats.

yuck. Just yuck.

LiquoriceAllsorts2 · Today 06:48

If the event happened as you described you won’t be arrested

Alwaysbella · Today 06:49

we all know the type of person who behaves like this. We have all seen incidents like this and just shook our head and thought “drunk twat”.

estrogone · Today 06:51

Beer fear. A sign that your psyche knows your behaviour whilst pissed was iffy.

Time to practice a bit of self restraint and lay off the booze if you can't avoid arguing with hospitality staff when you have had a few drinks.

Arrested for what though? What crime do you think they could arrest you for?

Buzzlightyeartowel · Today 06:54

How were you home by 22:30 but only just got in at 5:30am?

You sound like one of those people who tells a supermarket that they spend a lot of money there and will never be back. They don’t care and neither will the bar.
As someone who used to work in a bar you’re very annoying. Bouncers see this behaviour day in day out so they know the threshold for what is classed as aggression.

I’m surprised by some of the responder. If this was a drunk man the reply’s would be very different.

Do you know how long it takes to get through to the non emergency police on the phone? At least 45 minutes sitting on hold on a good day. There is no way that security guard phoned the police about you.

Being a drunk dickhead isn't illegal.

Shoes232 · Today 06:56

£65 each isn’t a considerable amount of money for a night out. Not sure why you think spending money gives you the excuse to speak to people like shit either.

JayJayj · Today 06:56

The police won’t care. If you were that aggressive they wouldn’t have let you back in.
