Dumb Guy On Creatine + Too Much Ego = Bar Bouncer

I know it's not "real" math but you get the idea. I went to a club called "Rocks" this weekend to see a local band. Had two drinks. They were giving out pizzas all night as part of the promotion for the band so as my brother and I were leaving, my brother grabbed one of the pizza boxes off the bar and handed it to me. Here is the conversation I had with the so-called bouncer at the exit.

Bouncer: "Hey! Put that back! I saw you take that off the bar!

Me: "Pardon me? You saw ME take it off the bar?"

Bouncer: "Yeah! I saw you!"

Me: "No you didn't."

Bouncer: "Yes, I did!"

Me: "You didn't see shit. I never took this pizza off the bar. You're a liar. Did you perhaps see him take it off the bar?" (Pointing to my brother.)

Bouncer: "Maybe?"

Me: "Exactly. Don't accuse me of something I didn't do."

Bouncer: "Get out of my bar!"

Me: "Your bar? You own this bar? Really?"

Bouncer: "Do you?"

Me: "Do you?"

Bouncer: "How 'bout I punch you in the face?"

Me: "Really? You think you're going to punch me in the face?"

Bouncer: (Looks around at other bouncers, gets no support.) "Um, yeah."

Me: "Uh huh..."

Another Bouncer: (quietly) "C'mon man, get out of here."

Me: "Ok." Hands over pizza.

I know I was pressing a stupid issue but this guy was claiming he SAW ME walk over to the bar and take a pizza which is just not true. Naturally, this punk kid was taking his job way too seriously. It's difficult to portray the emotion of the moment but he was extremely aggressive and was hoping for a melee over a pizza but when he saw he wasn't getting any support from his bouncer co-workers, he backed off. I think the fact that I never backed down probably helped, too. This is pretty standard behavior for Gainesville bouncers... they are looking to mindlessly push people around because they think everyone that leaves a bar at closing is drunk and had no wits about them. I think the only exception is this guy at Market Street, who actually treats people well with a "have fun!" or "thank you for coming!" It's a nice change of pace.
