She does live in a different world
Guys do stupid shit like this all the time. Girls too. Ask anyone who works in a bar.
FWIW - her dad was a Boston cop, her mom worked for Chris Iannella, Sr. during his last few years on the Boston City Council. Patricia M. worked for the Boston Licensing Board, I think as executive director, before she landed at Consumer Affairs.
"Normal people don't hang on pipes"
How out-of-touch can you be? Lots of dumb kids (and Pauly D wannabees) do dumb stuff like that sober. If I had a dollar for every cleancut college kid I've seen dangling from the overhead bars on the Green Line I'd be rich.
IMHO, the owner of this bar should be allowed to electrify those pipes if his liquor license depends on it. But alas, the liquor board wouldn't like that, either.
A sign probably won't do much
...unless possibly if it contains the words "lifetime ban." The bros might then find another place to wait in line for an hour just to get their reps in.
Shiny!
Those pipes are always so nicely polished - maybe if they patina-ed them up they wouldn't be so attractive to the Neanderthals
vaseline?
just order a few tubs and cover the topside of each bar. when someone reaches up, they'll be off to the bathroom before they can get much swinging in.
Vaseline
That'll keep them off the pipes - imagine reaching up and getting a handful of that and then trying to hold on. Or maybe something blacker like some kind of industrial grease - You'll never see it until you are stupid enough to put your hand up there. Cheaper than losing your liquor license, but you may have some cleaning bills.
Grease the pipes. Problem
Grease the pipes. Problem solved. Oh except for the part about the place being a d-bag enclave.
Mid 20s male here
I'd probably be tempted to hang from those pipes. I've on occasion also decided to hang from scaffolding put up by construction over sidewalks.
I've never been to this place, but perhaps a drop ceiling could help? Can't hang from pipes if you can't find them.
What a bunch of dimwits! Who raised those kids?
If I were the owner of that bar, I'd have those kids banned...for good, because they've done it so often!
Nobody dares swing from pipes
At Miki's Bar and Grill!
It was a common occurrence in our dorm
Those sprinkler pipes on the ceiling were definitely a college dude magnet for some reason. I'm amazed they never came down.
Kids Today?
If family stories hold true, my father-in-law would have been doing high bar gymnastics from those pipes. He had been tossed out of places for similar antics in the 1940s and 1950s.
Not kids, not "normal people", just a bit of primate activity. That's all.
It's genetic
The male "hang from the pipes" gene is definitely related to the male "jump up and touch the awning" gene.
