Or more appropriately, should I do something about it?
I went out to my old company's Christmas party, got drunk at their bar downtown with them and it was a good time. Then afterwards, a few of us went to a couple different bars and got even more hammered. After about 10 hours of solid drinking, I was definitely drunk.
I took a shot that went down the pipes wrong and I decided it was time to go outside to get some air. Well, as I stumbled out the door like a drunkard, the doorman saw me in my intoxicated state and would not let me in. I'd agree that I was overserved and it was time to go home. However, my coat, keys, and credit card were in the bar, and they wouldn't let me go in to get it, or even have an employee go look for it. They said I needed to come back tomorrow.
Meanwhile, it's like 30 degrees out, I'm in the cold without a coat and no keys to get in my place, or cash to get a cab. While I was calm, I explained that this was unreasonable, as I couldn't go home. He explained that he could not let me in. After about 20 minutes of bickering, he threatened to call the cops, I said fine, do it. The cops came but didn't do anything, actually kinda tried to bully me but I was tipsy enough not to care. After I saw that he was not going to side with me, I asked him for his badge number, apparently that's a very bad idea and actually doesn't help him cooperate! Oops.
Finally after like another 20 minutes, one of the girls in line for the bar went in and brought my coat out, still kind of in shock on how she found it as the place was pretty packed. However, I was out in the cold for probably about an hour over this and I'm really ticked off. Should I do something about it, though? The bar itself was really fun and I had a good time until the incident outside.
