10 Nightlife Spoilers to Steer Clear From

Firstly, the notorious drink spillers. There’s nothing quite as exasperating as having your fresh ensemble drenched in a cocktail. Those prone to such mishaps might consider the safety of a bottle to minimize potential garment disasters – and avoid the ire of fellow revellers.

Encountering an ex can lead to uncomfortable situations or impulsive decisions. The simplest solution? Switch up your usual haunts to keep old flames from reigniting.

Avoid the drunk douchebags – those who strut with an overinflated ego, ready to flirt or fight depending on their success rate. Distance is the best strategy when dealing with such characters.

Then, we have the drunk pushers, those who weave through the crowd with a misplaced sense of ingenuity, particularly near bars and restrooms. It’s best to keep your cool when crossing paths with them. For the pushers themselves, it’s worth reconsidering the tactic; popularity is not won by force.

Then there’s the challenge of the drunk friend who becomes a nightlong responsibility. If you’re aware of their tendency to overindulge, perhaps suggest a different activity or plan your night separately.

Encounters with a surly bouncer are almost inevitable. While you can’t always avoid them, a polite and low-key approach might just be your ticket inside.

The instigators, those looking for any excuse to escalate a situation into a brawl, are best avoided to ensure your night remains peaceful.

Be wary of the “I’m so drunk” guy, who makes sure everyone knows just how inebriated they are. It’s amusing briefly but wears thin quickly.

Drama queens can turn a night out into a theatrical sob-fest. If your social circle includes these emotional exhibitionists, it might be wise to seek less dramatic company.

Finally, the slow-moving, self-important bartender can test your patience as they craft cocktails with excessive flair. You might not be able to bypass bartenders, but you can always opt for a simpler drink.
