I have had two nasty incidents with bouncers.
The first time I was just a youngster, maybe 18 or 19 years old and a big bouncer just attacked me for no reason whilst waiting outside to join a club, afterwards he apologised, said he was having a bad night and thought he heard me say something.
The second time I was in my late 30's, bigger and more able to look after myself. I was in a large group and one of the guys was playing up a little, not being violent but just being silly and annoying. Two bouncers came over and I said that I would try to calm my friend down but they turned on me instead for no reason. One of them was really aggressive, grabbed me and took a swing so I defended myself, hit him and actually knocked him out. The other bouncer ran away and called the police, I was arrested for this but thankfully there was CCTV footage which after being reviewed I was released from cells about 4am.
