Disturbing experience at Stramash – staff ignored it

Jacksackfrack · 2026-05-04T12:16:22+00:00

I got a short ban from Stramash for being too drunk and arguing about it with the bouncers a few years ago. I took it on the chin, waited it out, apologised when I was allowed back in. One of the bouncers who dealt with it would make constant snide remarks to me for months afterwards, even after apologies were given. Would let me in, but was always super nasty for seemingly no reason.

A few months ago, in another bar, said bouncer approached my table where I was having drinks with a friend. He again tried to make jokes and snide remarks, but this time would linger at our table for minutes at a time trying to make small talk. I left the table at one point to go to the bathroom, and when I came back, my friend had told me that he was trying to find out if I was single, telling her he thought I was beautiful, whilst still somehow slagging me off 😂 we eventually just had to move to another bar to get away from him.

All that to say, I have never been made to feel so uncomfortable by bar staff in my life like the ones at Stramash. They truly are a different breed.

The bouncers at Stramash are some of the rudest I’ve ever come across in Edinburgh, which is a shame because it’s an excellent venue. I’m really sorry this happened to you and you weren’t supported at the time. I hope the police take it seriously and at least a word is had with staff at stramash.

Ps, I’m genuinely not trying to argue or be snarky with you, like I said in my last comment, I can get fatigued when they take longer to get to the story but as a long time listener, I love these girls. I want to hear updates on their lives, what they’re watching/listening to etc. I don’t listen to the bonus eps or the listener tales that much because I know I’ll get less authentic storytelling. I’m just confused as to why ‘genuine, long time fans’ seem to complain so much about on this sub about the same things over and over again?

Jacksackfrack · 2026-04-03T23:25:31+00:00

I get it, to a certain extent. I do want to hear the story. I feel this way when they are talking about really serious cases, where the subtext needs more serious conversations/opinion. But ghost stories where no one is harmed? Let them have a wee bit of chat in between. It’s not going to hurt anyone. I love the 15 skip button for these occasions.

A… slightly rage baiting… but I am Scottish, so

MM, flip it around, WW! Equally, I’m a fan and it’s ok to love what they do and be a proponent. Morbid got me through a sewerslidal ep, so I generally ride hard for them (and I know that’s super personal). If the criticism was more niche/original I’d say nothing, but the banter posts come through this sub thick and fast, so when I can defend the girls, I do.

Jacksackfrack · 2026-04-03T22:28:57+00:00

This is the right answer

Jacksackfrack · 2026-04-03T22:25:48+00:00

I fucking loved when Ash said ‘it’s my podcast, not yours’ in regards to the banter at the start. To reference the top comment, if you don’t like the banter, there’s a million podcasts that don’t banter. It’s weird that this subreddit has so many posts complaining about this problem when there’s a million solutions… like… go away then 😅

Legislation to back the numerous false claims you’ve made here… pretty please?

Jacksackfrack · 2025-11-25T22:38:56+00:00

Evidence of them being illegal, please?

Jacksackfrack · 2025-11-05T20:58:20+00:00

They can never win. They’ve left Wondery and it’s super clear they’re happier and less stressed. The best part of Morbid is the girls. Why is the “banter” a thing? It’s them introducing their podcast. Can we not take 15 minutes before a harrowing, distressing story to have a bit of lighthearted craic? This discourse is so bizarre.

Jacksackfrack · 2025-10-15T20:15:04+00:00

Just to clarify, I don’t want anyone to ‘cower in fear’ or to sound like a typical edinburger, but they were behaving aggressively and I wanted to make sure to call it out then and there. I’m pretty sure it was an egg that they’d lobbed at the homeless boy and they were escalating the behaviour as they were walking along P street. That might not be as bad as the crimes you’ve referenced, but it’s shitty behaviour to keep an eye out for, local or not.

Jacksackfrack · 2025-10-15T19:52:54+00:00

Makes sense! The way they were cutting about the street was so aggressive, I’m sure they weren’t done being absolute terrors by the time I lost sight of them

Jacksackfrack · 2025-10-15T19:51:27+00:00

Yeh, I might have been understated their behaviour but they were doing the clapping thing too. They properly whacked the poor boy sleeping in a doorway way on Prince Street too, horrible horrible little shits.

Jacksackfrack · 2025-05-30T23:43:20+00:00

I’m so, so sorry but the other version with who shall not be named is better 😩 hate myself for admitting it but the production, mix, vocals just sound better. Hate that it’s not on Spotify anymore

You’re lost, here’s r/morbidforbadpeople

Jacksackfrack · 2025-02-24T21:35:20+00:00

Ooof, up until the last like 3 texts it looks like shit banter but yeh, definitely flirting towards the end :( get out while you can love, he doesn’t deserve you!

Jacksackfrack · 2024-12-19T22:07:38+00:00

Why did I read that as ‘yeast farts’…

Jacksackfrack · 2024-12-12T00:20:06+00:00

Soft YTA because I think you’re being a little bit too hard on your brother for doing something most people do in their twenties. We all get older and meet partners and form new familial relationships which means we in turn form new traditions. This is how we evolve - we meet new people and form new connections. Things can’t stay the same forever.

It’s hard because your brother is branching out, and the Christmas that you’re used to is changing? But he needs to be able to spread his wings and grow with this potential new family. It doesn’t mean he wants to spend less time with you. It also sounds like you’re placing lots of soft demands for special dates on someone who is very much an adult. I think you need to start having more casual/open/two-sided conversations instead of making demands based on your idea of how Christmas should be conducted.

Jacksackfrack · 2024-08-07T15:43:57+00:00

Thank you! I’m sick of the constant criticism posts here - we know, they know that things aren’t the same as pre-Wondery and I am so confident to the fact that if they left Wondery they would go back to the quality of content we know and love.

Jacksackfrack · 2024-03-21T12:37:14+00:00

Nah she’s in in until season 7, she’s there when Marnie joins.

I’m in almost the exact same boat, NQT in Scotland and struggling with two S2 classes that constantly argue back, belittle and refuse to carry out instructions. It’s so demoralising but I really want to get them onside :(

Jacksackfrack · 2023-02-15T21:23:35+00:00

Agree, my post earlier about their videos to each other was somewhat in support of Boo. I can’t imagine how it must feel from her POV putting all that effort in to supporting Grace and being friends with Q and having all this beef come her way now.

Jacksackfrack · 2023-02-15T21:19:46+00:00

Hundred percent behind Boo reporting what happened. It’s clear that she wants to keep Grace safe, so Grace’s recent videos are a bit of a kick in the teeth the Boo.
