  • The disclaimer of all disclaimers

    I'm wondering if anyone has had this happened to them before in Munich or elsewhere.

    I went to a party at Match Club (large nightclub) last night, and prior to entering was asked whether I was a smoker. When I replied that I wasn't, I was asked to sign a form. It was explained to me as some sort of legal disclaimer and waiver of rights - signing it meant I acknowledged that people smoked inside the club, and I'd waived all rights should I have any issues in connection to the smoking. I found it all pretty absurd and was rather wary as the form was entirely in German. But a local friend who was with me confirmed that the door staff weren't fibbing.

    I suppose I'd find out tonight if this is the norm in Munich. But really, you couldn't make it up! And they say people in the US are litigious...

    PS - the 'Sodom&Gomorrha' Friends of Dorothy night at Match Club is highly recommended!

        OK, didn't have to sign anything last night. I was told that it's only for clubs who do not have a designated smoking area.

          The club has to make you sign this or otherwise it will be closed

              Also seems to be no mention of the Savage25 effect... (or maybe the entire disclaimer relates to it!!!)

              Egad!
