- eru 4y agoThis strategy is widely known in folklore.
- bigiain 4y agoI used to regularly do this by accident. I used to live and socialise in a place where a lot of my city's security guards and bouncers drank, and became if not friends, at least familiar with many of them. (Kings Cross in Sydney in the 80s/90s) I also used to pretty much exclusively wear black jeans, black t-shirts and when it was cold enough a black leather bike jacket. I would often show up to clubs or gigs, and just get waved in by whoever was on the door because that assumed I was arriving for work. I've never worked as security in my life.
- yunohn 4y ago> I used to regularly do this by accident. > I would often show up to clubs or gigs, and just get waved in I’m clearly missing the accidental nature of your actions.
- synu 4y agoIt was the middle part between the two bits you quoted - he was just going to a show, was in a phase where he liked wearing all black, and would get waved in without even intentionally trying to trick anyone because they assumed he was arriving for work. Does that help?
- yunohn 4y agoI didn’t interpret “show up” as having purchased tickets and planned to enter, rather unintentionally get let in as was their implication.
- synu 4y agoShow up can just mean arrive, no implication one way or the other.
- bigiain 4y agoYeah. These would all have been "show up and pay at the door" type places, not sold out weeks in advance with pre-booked tickets. Bouncer (or sometimes door bitch) takes your money, unless the bouncer waves you through.
- april_22 4y agoI remember a video where two guys snuck into Disneyland wearing these security vests
