I do. I stopped in a bar for a few beers on my way home to celebrate another work week gone by. I got off at 11:30 pm EST, just so you guys dont think i am a drunkie and got off at 5, 8 hours later here i am...
anyway, AAA guy needed to make a phone call, bar wouldnt let him use it, so i let him use my cell phone. the bouncer thought that the AAA guy needing help was ironic, i agree. funny thing is, when i glanced over my shoulder the bouncer goes "did you lock your keys in the car?" i thought, didnt say out loud in fear of sounding like a total douche "if i locked my keys in my car i would call bmw myself and have them unlock it", i just said, dont know the guy, just helping him out.
it was kinda a shitty bar, i stuck out like a sore thumb, and when i pulled up in my car and got out in a suit (i left the jacket in the back seat) i got looks like hitler just showed up. (except from all the fat chicks that frequent shitty bars, they looked at me like i was a cheesecake)
i am a few beers in as i have continued the week-end festivities at home. hope this made sense...

My Ride: '04 530d Executive, all options except sunroof and comfort seats
ECU remapped by ZipTuning to 260+bhp.
I got this a couple of times in a couple of local bars.
One time, i had a party in one of the bars and agreed with the bar-owner that i would pay for it the next day.
The next day i show up and park my car right in front of the bar (wasn't really a parking space, but FI, i just needed to pay and get out).
The bar owner wasn't there, but some bartender i barely know looked at me, looked at my car and said: "Just get out, you anti-social dickhead" (loosely translated
)
I said i just wanted to pay the tab from the night before, but he didn't even want to talk to me anymore.
I ringed the bar-owner, told him what happened and fortunately the guy is now fired
Unbelievable how some people can be that blunt.
