1. I spit in a NYC club one time and almost got kicked out

No excuses---I should not have done it---but I was already wasted (I was like 21) and just did a shot and thought I was going to puke and needed to spit, so I did. On the floor.

Bouncer saw me, came over to me screaming and told me he was going to throw me out. Friends calmed bouncer down and he told me to never, ever spit on the floor again. Lesson learned.
