Nightclubs Suck!

Nightclubs are hell. What's cool or fun about a thumping, sweaty dungeon full of posing idiots?

I'm often interested in hearing contrarian opinions- that is, opinions that run contrary to widely held conventional beliefs. Charlie Brooker's opinion piece in The Guardian is a pretty amusing take on what's wrong with nightclubs.
While I used to "go out" regularly, I don't go to clubs very often any more. Those few times when I do go out for a night of drinking, dancing and fun; I haven't really taken the time to think about why I didn't enjoy the experience all that much.
Now I know; it's not just me, there are lots of reasons why nightclubs suck.

Heads up from a nightclub bouncer

Can I See Your ID?

Why does the Bouncer (aka doorman, security, gorilla, etc) at the nightclub need to see your ID?

In this Best of Craigslist posting, a charming and literate chap from Washington DC explains why he needs to see your ID, and the best practices for getting into his drinking establishment.

Hmm... maybe I should start packing some ID.
