This happened when I worked at a club as a steward. I was in charge of checking if the people coming in had a valid membership card, and of helping those who didn't to apply for one.
Now, that club had a fame for employing good looking waitresses. Fame that was, in my personal opinion, well deserved.
At a certain point, the management started hiring male waiters as well. One of which happened to be homosexual. Note that I mention this because it is important in the story.
Characters:
Me: the guy at the door having a hard time already
Dude: one of the typical "cool" guys who need continuous validation of their "coolness". Comes with a bunch of equally "cool" friends. I had seen him probably twice until then
Waiter: the homosexual waiter mentioned above. A guy with an amazing sense of humour
Boss: the owner of the club
Me: "...OK, all your cards are fine, have fun tonight!"
Dude: "Yeah, well... can you tell me which tables the [expletive for "good looking"] waitresses are serving?"
Me (not impressed by the guy's attitude): "I suggest that you sit at the bar, have a drink and decide where to sit"
Dude: "But there is that [expletive for "homosexual male"] serving at the bar"
I stare at them, not reacting.
Dude: "Hey, man, don't tell me that you like [expletive for "homosexual male"]s!"
Me: "This is none of your business, please get in the club. Or out of it. You are blocking the door"
Dude: "I am reporting your attitude to the management!"
Me: "Please feel free to do so, the manager is that tall man standing behind the bar"
"Dude" walks towards the bar, waving at the manager.
"Waiter" comes towards me.
Waiter: "He was staring at me. Anything wrong?"
Me: "Anti-homosexual stuff. The guy is a [expletive]"
Waiter: "Wait and see" (winks)
Boss: "Hey. That guy complained that you had an aggressive attitude. What happened?"
Me: "Well, some anti-homosexual slander and stuff, not too confrontational really"
Boss: "OK, I believe you. Against *Waiter*?"
Me: "Yep"
Boss and Waiter walk around the club talking to all the waitresses. Minutes later, I see Dude waving at a waitress. Who ignores him. Second waitress. She also ignores him. Third waitress... you understand where this is going.
Finally, the waiter that they had been trying to avoid approaches them putting up a "drag queen with no drags" show only for their benefit (note that it was NOT his normal behaviour, he was putting up a scene only for them). I see them blushing, I see him flirting with Dude... I see Dude leaving the club, still red in his face, with his "friends" giggling at him.
Boss and Waiter approach me.
Boss: "Well done for how you dealt with him by the way" [yes, he was a great boss. A bit cheap, but still awesome]
Waiter: "And thanks for the best laugh yet this year"
