Today, I got mugged on the way to my 21st birthday party at a bar. I begged the thug to at least throw me my ID, only to have him laugh and run away singing, "Happy Birthday." FML

Today, I went to a bar to celebrate my 26th birthday. I got ripped off by the bartender all night because she secretly gave me non-alcoholic versions of my drinks. Apparently I look like I'm 16, so she thought my ID was fake. Happy birthday to me. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I was heading back to my apartment and I heard noises behind the front door. Assuming it was the surprise party I'd hinted at, I flicked on the lights… as two heavy guys pushed past me. I was robbed. FML
Today, I went to the bar to celebrate my friend's birthday party. I gave the bouncer my ID and he kicked me out, saying that I should at least use an ID card with the correct gender. I'm 22 and female, he thought I was an underage boy. FML
Today, I was excitedly celebrating my 21st birthday. I was heading my to my first club when my sister called and snarkly said, “Congratulations on being 21, hope you don’t get drugged, raped and murdered tonight!” She’s mad that she was pregnant on her 21st and didn’t get to go out, so she wanted to ruin mine. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday and my dad has decided to take away my ID in fear that if I have even one drink to celebrate I'll become a raging alcoholic. FML
Today, I got mugged. Trying to be brave, I attacked my mugger, who then broke my nose. Suddenly, I was saved by someone: A 15 year-old goth girl who promptly tackled the mugger to the ground. I'm a 21 year old man. FML
Today, I got mugged. After taking my cell phone, the guy politely said: "Thanks. Have a nice evening. Be careful on your way home." FML
Today, my parents took me to a bar to celebrate my 21st birthday. They brought my little brother, but when the bouncer wouldn't allow him in, they made me wait outside with him while they went in for drinks. FML
Today, it was my 21st birthday. My roommate insisted her friend join us. They both got belligerently drunk while I was pretty sober. We ended the night at 12am with her friend violently sobbing at the bar over her boyfriend, while I played Subway Surfers. Yay. FML
Today, I got mugged. For an actual mug. FML

Don't worry OP, his luck will run out sooner or later. For all you know he might just be the guy who accidentally gets hit by a car a few blocks away, "accidentally".

Just have your friends bring booze to your house. It's much cheaper and it helps keep your alcoholism hidden, just in case you like the hooch a little too much.

That's why you carry more than one form of ID. Always expect something to happen (being mugged, leaving your wallet in a taxi, etc.) same as with your cash. Take what you need/plan to spend on the night, leave your cards at home and don't spend the money set aside for the way home. Life doesn't run smoothly so you need to prepare for anything to go wrong. But sorry to hear OP.

Yea, but If I get mugged, Id rather not have my extra form of ID stolen as well. That makes more sense with traveling outside the country, especially carrying cash, but you cant possibly foresee this happening.

If the OP carried more than one form of ID, he/she would have been mugged of those too. :0 I would have said, too bad they couldn't have had time to go back to their house and maybe grab their passport (an acceptable form of ID) but seeing that the OP is from the US could mean they don't own one at all. :P

OP could've hid the other ID somewhere else..

48: True, but if OP was viciously mugged, then all their pockets, bags, etc would've been checked/emptied. Most muggings aren't all peaceful like "yea bro, give me your money." FYL OP. I'm glad you're safe and hope your birthday got better :-/

Ya because hiding a piece of ID elsewhere is daily for most people, you tend to get mugged daily? Lol be realistic no one does that
MrsPegg 45
Damn... Im the only one who gets mugged daily?! Who knew? Lol

Many places to hide a small piece of plastic. And really. If you live somewhere where extreme muggings happen frequently you shouldn't be putting yourself at risk.

At least he was some what sensitive enough to sing you happy birthday even if the bastard was laughing while singing.

At least now you have a decent 21st birthday story. most entail how drunk people got, yours is how drunk you didn't get the chance to get.
