3 People to Avoid at the Club

While it's fun to go out dancing with your friends, there are always a few people you may run into who can ruin your evening. Whether they spill their cocktail all over your new dress, leer at you disturbingly from across the room, or swing their sweat-matted hair in your face, here are my picks for the top three people you should avoid at the club. Happy clubbing!

The Thrasher

Crime

: At any club, you'll find a few girls (or guys) whose flailing dance moves and open drinks render them a danger to any innocent bystanders. For some reason, these people never opt for the decent water bottle or narrow-necked Corona bottle, but instead order an obnoxiously staining Cosmo or JD and Coke.

Prime stomping grounds

: On the dance stage, or the nearest amateur pole.

Defense

: Don't fight it. Any struggle will just make it worse. Just push through and find another place to dance. Chances are, the perps are too drunk to know what they're doing.

TheLurker

Crime

: No club would be complete without a few creepers standing around and leering at all the girls. Their stares can range from being slightly uncomfortable to downright disgusting.

Prime stomping grounds

: The bar, the dance floors, outside the bathrooms... pretty much everywhere.

Defense

: Never stay away from your herd of friends. Just like in the Serengeti, those who stray from the pack get picked off by predators.

The Sweater

Crime

: These hard-core ragers like to shimmy up close to strangers even though they're practically soaked in sweat.

Prime stomping grounds

:

The middle of the dance floor, of course.

Defense

: Pick a spot safely away from the mosh pit, and strategically place a safety buffer person between you and any offending wet mops.
