A couple of weeks ago I went to the bar, and I lost my jacket ticket from the coat check. Unfortunately I had to leave the bar because I got alcohol poisoning (which is entirely my fault), and my friends tried to get them to give them my jacket. They tell me to come back the next day to reclaim it, and I do, and it’s NOT there! Because someone picked up my jacket ticket off the floor and decided to take my jacket home. Thanks a lot, asshole. I got that jacket in NYC, AND my camera and keys were in the pocket! Don’t take shit that’s not yours!

Losing shit when you’re smashed is an occupational hazard. It’s happened to me all kinds of times. Accept that it’s nobodies fault but your own. Live with it & learn from it. Don’t ever be shocked to learn that everyone downtown (in any city) is some sort of righteous saint.
Sleep with dogs – get fleas.
This bitch already got posted.
Sure it’s someone’s fault. They stole his jacket. Obviously the OP shouldn’t be SURPRISED it happened, but it’s still wrong.
From the title of this bitch, I thought it belonged in the LTWWL section. “Thanks for taking my shit, asshole”…. heh heh heh…
Let’s see you get shitfaced to the point of alcoholic poisoning then leave your coat check ticket on the floor (or more likely carelessly lose it). Sounds like you’re a fucking idiot. You’re dumb enough to do something stupid, there’s someone who will take advantage of it. A tough lesson learned. Not only lost your stuff but also more brain cells.
go bro time
Drinking to the point of alcohol poisoning? I’d say losing your jacket is the least of your worries. What a total tool.
I wonder if this was another ECD show 😀
wouldn’t it be funny if, while you were drunk you were also an asshole and someone lifted your ticket. Taken your coat from the coat check took it and donated to charity. Then wrote about it here in the coast. I myself would find that funny.
Nobody has wondered whether the coat check person gave out the wrong coat to someone else. Were there any other leftover coats or people looking for their lost items? I don’t care if the sign says not responsable for lost/stolen jackets, if the bar is professional enough to offer a service then they’d better have their attendants double checking the ticket versus hanger numbers.
VOR: One would assume that the person getting the “wrong” coat from the coat check person would realize the coat was not theirs.
Unless it was a better coat and had a camera in its pocket.
Who leaves shit in their pockets when they check a coat? I just kiss that thing goodbye and am pretty impressed when I actually get it back at the end of the night.
Bro: everyone has had night’s where they have drank themselves to that point, I don’t think it requires “your an idiot” comment’s. I mean, yes some people have absolutely no control on themselves, and definitely deserve a good kick in the ass. However not all cases are like that. I remember my first time out drinking after having my daughter I switched from rum to gin, thinking that I was being responsible going for something a little less intense. Ended up only having a couple and being completely sober one minute to literally “drunk” off my ass throwing my gut’s up the next. I later found out that I am possibly allergic to gin (the next time I had gin I drank 1 glass over the span of an hour an a half, only got maybe half way through it, no other alcohol involved and the same thing happened).
Point being, sometimes shit happens and it doesn’t mean that said person is out shooting up a storm being an idiot.
HOWEVER: Op, if you brought your camera down to the bar, well you are taking on the risk of loosing it. Hate to break it to you, but you’re mixing alcohol with expensive shit in a place where people have no guilt in taking advantage of that situation.
I don’t think the guy deserved to have his coat stolen, but don’t expect a lot of sympathy from this crowd, OP. People around here WILL call you out on your stupid shit….
However, you did admit drinking too much was dumb, so you get SOME points for that….still. TTFN’s right.
1falling, unfortunately you didn’t realize a shot of hard liquour is a shot of hard liqour, whether rum, gin, vodka, scotch or whatever. Further one shot of liqour equals one bottle of beer or one glass of wine for alcohol content in the vast majority of cases.
Miles – if the person receiving the wrong coat was an honest person….
I wasn’t referring to shot’s Bro. I had a couple of mixed drinks, and in that sense, I mean 2. I am no cheapie, pre pregancy I would have no problem’s drinking a 26er of JD or Rum and still not be sloppy(and that’s not something I’m bragging about either). I don’t like getting sloppy, loose total control drunk because to me, it’s just not fun. That was something that took me totally off guard, and at first was like sheesh, I can’t handle a couple of drinks of gin and 7up any more, wtf!! It wasn’t until later I found out the true cause. And literally, i went from being 100% sober to fully fucked and throwing up. I actually thought I had been drugged for the first 30 seconds of it happening, it was fucked lol.
either way, my point is still that shit happens to the best of us.
Even when I don’t lose my coat check ticket I’m always surprised when my jacket hasn’t been stolen at the end of the night. All the same, it’s wrong to knowingly take the wrong jacket home, whether there are valuables in the pockets or not.
lol…you had alcohol poisoning. you deserve losing your jacket. stupid tard.
I always have a couple “bar jackets” on the go…i.e. I don’t give a rat’s ass if they go missing at the end of the night. They’re decent enough to wear out, but really aren’t the greatest…
…but yeah, leaving a camera in your coat and checking it at a bar?? Geez dude…
Hey it’s summer, don’t wear a jacket next time. The alcohol should be enough to keep you warm on the way home. And if it isn’t you can cuddle with other drunk people you don’t know very well. Doesn’t that end up happening anyway?
But yeah I agree PK’s last post. Spot on PK!
