What the fuck? I was surrounded by a bunch of drones wearing their Dockers or their widewale cords, many of them looking as though they had slept in their trousers. Most of these men were not wearing jackets, or tailored shirts.
But I got thrown out for wearing jeans. Tight-assed club assholes.

I took a friend to the Harvard Club once, and they wouldn't even let us sit in the GRILL ROOM!!! because she was wearing jeans. They did deign to let us sit in the lobby, though.
ETA: And we showed them by getting good and liquored up, and making spectacles of ourselves.
OK, not really -- but we should have.
