    Default Mistaken identity causing a commotion

    Has your alleged resemblance to someone else, such as a stripper's relative, caused a commotion?

    I visited my friend Peyton on a lazy Saturday afternoon at a locals type place. Handful of customers and dancers. Peyton stops by to chat after coming off stage. Gets called to stage awhile later. Says "huh?" and dutifully goes back to the stage.

    This place has two girls on stage at all times and a prescribed sequence where they come around for tips along the inside of the bar. Just to clarify it's a Jersey style with the stage inside a rectangular bar.

    So while Peyton is doing her thing at the other end of the stage a 2nd dancer comes by for her tips. Asks me "do you have a nephew named Joe and is your name Rob?". (Names are all made up, I don't even recall what they were specifically). I say No. "Well one of my fellow dancers is freaking out. She thinks your her fiancé's Uncle." Apparently this dancer refused to take her stage turn and contacted the fiancé and demanded that he call/text his "Uncle" and tell him to leave the club.

    I tell the dancer that asked that I have a grand total of one nephew, who recently moved to Colorado Springs to become a firefighter. And his name is not "Joe".

    So I'm sure the info was relayed but I don't think mystery dancer ever surfaced while I was there (two drinks). Peyton came back and she wasn't sympathetic to the girl's plight. Especially as mystery dancer had recently been photographed and interviewed in the local strip club gossip rag.

    Not my problem but an odd experience. Hopefully mystery dancer gets some clarity that soon to be Uncle is not me because I will be back from time to time.

    Then she'll learn to deal with reality.

    Though there are myriad dancer ploys to stay off stage, there are two you never argue with. One of them being 'My dad just walked in!' Or whatever relative/daytime boss/boyfriend's uncle, etc

    Usually it's true, and usually you can tell because they are obviously, genuinely distressed. The ones that will bullshit you to stay offstage will usually go for other excuses, and usually the one other reason we never dispute.

    In this case, the staff will figure it out and the next time you go in, they'll probably make her go up, especially if the girl count is low that night, and especially if they know she's the bullshitting type already.

    I will never forget one poor girl who was in tears and eventually left, because her dad was in the club & wouldn't leave. Kind of pissed me off that the guy could be so insensitive as to stay, knowing it had to bother her.
