Bouncers
Not all of them, some are polite & friendly. I am talking about the steroid filled black clad morons who enjoy enforcing petty rules.
I once seen a man in Dublin told to take off his socks if he wanted to come into a pub, when he asked why the answer was "no white socks" he queried what the problem was with the color of his hosiery, the answer shouted at him "NO WHITE SOCKS!". So he removed his socks and was allowed in with them in his pocket. BTW he was wearing cowboy boots at the time.

what colour his socks were then?

The level of pettiness was such that they were checking people in boots to ensure not white socked troublemakers got in.

so they made him take off his boots at the door to see if he had white socks on? Really?

The bloke was pissed and said to the bouncer "I've got white socks on, ha ha". Bouncers, just like most people, don't like smart-arses, especially pissed up smart-arses. Who had the last laugh, the petty bouncer, or the twat with his socks in his pockets?

Really this is true, it was not a nightclub, a pub off Grafton Street, in the city centre at about 8:30 in the evening.
