Today, while out shopping with friends, I was apphrehended by two bounty hunters because they recognized my purple-dyed hair. Too bad my name isn't Natalie, who apparently shares the same hair color. They didn't believe me, even after I showed my ID. FML
StargazeKitsune tells us more.
Hey,ya'll! OP here! Of course I forgot to actually log in before I posted this, and THEN it gets published! But please believe me :) So follow up, these bounty hunters did end up leaving me alone without actually bringing me anywhere (trust me, they would have had some claw marks if they had!) They DID pull out handcuffs, which was pretty scary, seeing as I've never even had so much as a speeding ticket on my record. T_T They asked me multiple times if I was Natalie, and if "I was sure I wasn't" after I showed them the ID that clearly says Mackenzie...I'm pretty sure, guy? Other than the purple hair, they didn't even know what the girl looked like. The only other thing they went off was that she was with a guy wearing a black hat (Thanks, Kyle!) But, at the end of this conversation, they ended up backing away with their hands up after my best friend so eloquently stated she wasn't "afraid to cut a bitch." Their only reply was "I believe you..." I did end up calling the cops to make sure they weren't absolutely full of it. The police planned on making a patrol to the grocery store across town they mentioned their next lead was. And my friends who were working at the time weren't too happy about me getting harassed either! I found out after I posted to Facebook that one of the guys used to work for a friend and that he has gotten in trouble for pulling idiotic stunts before! Guess he shouldn't quit his day job! You guys are all hilarious, btw!! These comments are really making me laugh. My friends say I should go as myself for Halloween next year and when people ask who I am, I'll just say "Shhh, I'm Natalie..." I really was pretty shaken up at the time, but IS a hilarious story in hindsight. Thanks for reading! :)

Plot twist: Natalie dyed her hair purple to frame you for murder
StargazeKitsune 18
Gasp! She must be one of the Soviets from back in '65...I knew this would come back to haunt me...

I'm glad you have such a good sense of humor about it! And I'm also glad you and your friends are okay. I like the Halloween idea!

Comment moderated for rule-breaking.
They weren't harassing you, they were doing their jobs. Think about it, if you were Natalie and they let you get away on just your word and a fake ID, they'd look pretty silly.

I have often wondered how that is legal. If they were to grab you, what is the difference between that and kidnapping.

Is there a translation for this?

#49 - I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's something like... "Stargaze! ('Good heavens!', maybe?) Be glad that it wasn't Dog (the Bounty Hunter, popular TV persona)! He was with his bounty-hunting friend and just arrested for being an accessory to murder."

Now you know why I don't leave the house when I hear the cops are looking for "a black male, between 5'2" and 6'8"... FYL, but all's well that ends well
