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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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".

Well on the bright side, if you can even call it that, he prevented you from a massive hangover the next day, possibly blacking out, and throwing up profusely. Oh wait, and you still got a "Happy Bday" sung to you! That's all I got. Sorry OP.

I would rather all of that happen to me than have to worry about my identity being stolen and having to replace everything.

That really sucks man. Now that you are 21 you should get a pistol and permit. Mine stays right above my wallet. What a surprise he would of had.

If you're not man enough to kick his ass, I don't think you should be getting drinks at a bar... Man up

Happy Birthday, and all my wishes that the bastard gets picked up for looking suspicious And that part of your birthday celebration is a police line-up at your local station And in hoping all your dreams come true they make him sing "Happy Birthday To You."

That sucks buddy, I'm guessing you're in the states and that would have been your first legal bar going. You have a long life of partying you'll look back on it and laugh, even though that really is lame what happened

He needed the ID too. His real one got turned down while all his friends with fake ID's got let in!

The mugger knew it was your birthday. It must be one of your friends who prank you. No one should know your birthday like that quick while mugging you.

OP probably told the mugger that it was his 21st birthday while pleading for his ID.

With IDs, I always feel the theft to be so pointless. It's got my name and picture on it. Who else can use? Same with credit cards. If you steal them, I dial card stop. Steal my phone, I'll block it. So you have nothing to gain. Why bother stealing them? At least I can understand taking cash.

*Who else can use it? Obviously. Before some twat feels the need to correct what is obviously just me accidentally missing a word on my tiny phone screen and keyboard.

Well, with credit cards, you can use them at places before the owner has a chance to call it in as stolen. Also, many places dont even check. With IDs, it's relatively easy to remove the laminate, slip in a new picture, and relaminate it, or so I've been told.

no pin code for the credit card in the usa ? btw the drinking age start at 13 in my country ( but you have to be supervised by someone who is 18 or more)

With ID's it's very easy to hack the ID itself or for a more difficult task, use the combined contents of your wallet to steal your identity and run your credit score into the ground. If it were only about selling it as a fake photo ID to someone I wouldn't be so worried. As for credit cards, there are many places that don't require a pin or signature for under fifty bucks. At least that is my experience in Canada. I dunno so much about the US.
