So my best friend is a musician, and plays a lot of local gigs. He as a standing policy that I am *always* on the guest list, even for shows I'm unlikely to be able to attend.
So I was headed to one of his gigs this weekend, walking down to the bar from my parking spot about 1/4 mile away. (Small town, not a horrible walk.) A group of girls ended up ahead of me, laughing and giggling about the show they were going to, which turned out to be the same one. They were fangirling over him, and I mentioned that he's my best friend. One of them looked back at me.
G: "Yeah, right. I'll make sure to tell him you said that!"
I rolled my eyes internally as her friends laughed. So we get to the venue, and suddenly they realized that the doorperson was a woman, and immune to their attempts to not pay the $10 cover.
While they were trying to come up with money, I looked at the doorperson, and calmly stated my name, and that I should be on The List. Got waved right through.
I heard the "Not Fair!"s as the door closed behind me.
(I told my best friend after the show and he thought it hilarious. He's not a fan of people like that either.)
