Embarrassing, Awkward and Work: Fake it til you make it

Fake it til you make it

By tsardaukar - 01/04/2009 16:51 - United States

Today, bouncing at a local bar. I I.D.'d a girl with a group of people. I told her that next time she used a fake I.D., she at least should get one with a picture that looked like her. She started crying and ran off. A guy told me that she had been in a car wreck, and had been badly disfigured. FML

Adding insult to injury

Today, I got into an accident and my car was totaled. My friends then took me out to a bar for a drink to make me feel better. It appears that the police officer I'd spoken to had kept my I.D. by mistake and I couldn't get into the bar. FML

Today, I contacted a girl who dropped her ID at a club last night. I offer to drive 2 hours to return her ID to her. She is thrilled. When I arrive, she gives me a strange look, takes the ID, and runs back into her house. A two hour drive without even a thank you. FML

Today, I was on Facebook when I saw a picture a popular girl I don't talk to had posted of her fake ID. She had used my full name and identical signature. FML

Today, I got shitfaced at a club. A cute girl I'd met earlier in the evening offered to drive me home in my car and spend the night with me. She crashed my car and did a runner before the cops showed up. They wouldn't believe my story. I now have a wrecked car and a DUI. FML

Today, I was relaxing alone at a bar when I was approached by the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen. She was too good to be true, so I asked, "Is this some kind of a prank?" She immediately turned around and left. She thought I was calling her ugly. I'll never see her again. FML

Today, I got punched in the face by a girl for asking if she was okay after I had seen her crying. FML

Today, a cute thirty-ish chick walked into the bar I work in. I asked her for her license to make her feel young. She didn't have her license on her and started yelling about how stupid it was to even ask, when she obviously was old enough to drink. She then got up and left. FML

Today, I met a great girl at a party. We talked alone, and she made me promise I'd dance with her later. When I saw her later, she was unconscious, and in an ambulance. She'd collapsed, and the entire party assumed I'd spiked her drink. FML

Today, I saw a cute girl at a night club. When I approached her and introduced myself, she said "Don't you remember me? We danced here last weekend... but you were smashed that night". I cheekily replied "Oh really? That's hot, what happened next?" She said "You were hitting on me. So, I left." FML

Today, I saw a drunk guy hitting on a girl sitting alone at the bar. She insisted that her boyfriend was there, but he didn't relent. So I went over and put my arm around her and asked "Who's this guy?" He walked away, but then I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was her boyfriend. He broke my arm. FML

Overall, you didn't know she had a car wreck, your a bouncer so your used to seeing fake ID's- you first thought would've naturally gone to she's got a fake. Shyte happens. It's crushing to her self-esteem but it was an unintentional mistake.

this is so not even the OPs fault. if she looks so different, she should have the common sense to get her ID picture updated, even if it is crushing to her self-esteem. i mean yes FHL if her story's true, but at the same time, 'if you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.' don't use an ID with an old photo and not expect someone to notice or something. it's not like he insulted her by calling her ugly or something, he just said she didn't look like her ID.

You didn't knew. NOT YDI. Still, that was kind of fun. Next time be more careful =p.

Trust me, it's equally as likely that it was a clever backup plan for her to get into the bar when her fake backfires. If it wasn't obvious she was disfigured there was no way for you to know.

I support OP, anyone who would have acted differently in this situation wouldn't last five minutes in a job working as a bouncer. I've been rejected for my perfectly real and legal ID just because I have longer hair now, and have to appreciate that getting aggro for not letting someone in who was allowed in, is not as bad as losing your job...

i don't even blame you, man... with the prevalence of fake IDs these days, it was a smart thing for a bouncer to say haha and interesting point, #59, she should consider a new pic. it might be sad for her to do so, but it would be practical.
