I drove Uber on Saturday night for a bit over a year. Bouncers were the best. Very polite, sober, and tipped well. It was so predictable to get that hail 15 minutes or so after last call, they get in the front seat and have to pull the chair back.
The very worst: white girl 21 years old with two friends who were the same.
Weird thing about humanity. Large guys paid to be intimidating for a living being super nice, girls with a bodyweight so low I could easily carry them being rude as fuck. Or maybe it's not weird, maybe if you spend your life being naturally scary just by existing you learn to not set off flight-fight responses.
Dunno know. Got a theory big guy?
Bounced for a decade.
Pretty white girls arent used to hearing the word NO or being on the recieving end of violence. The idea that someone might just not give a fuck and smack them in the mouth is alien to them.
Big guys are used to being percieved as a threat, my wife can argue for an hour with someone in customer service over a dispute, but the moment I weigh in and I'm anything less than dripping with pleasant energy security turns up in minutes.
When I was bouncing people would say "You cant touch me! Thats assault!" and I'd say "No, I shouldnt touch you. Big difference. I can do way more that just touch you if I decide you're worth the trouble... Now go away."
