Today, I showed by ID to get into a bar and the bouncer kept it because he said it wasn't me. It was. Apparently I've gained so much weight I am unrecognizable. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, was my first day as a bouncer. I was a bit late and didn't meet all the staff. Later that night, some fairly drunk guy was trying to force his way in, I told him we were at capacity and that he would have to wait. He kept trying and I ended up pushing him to the floor. He was the owner. FML
Today, I was together with a few of my friends when I got up the courage to confess I have an eating disorder. One of my friends then said "... but you're not skinny." FML
Today, I wanted to use my gift card for a liquor store. I went to pay the cashier, who said he needed to see my license. I gave it to him, along with my gift card. After paying, he asked me if I wanted him to cut it up, since the card was now worthless. I said yes. He cut up the wrong card. FML
Today, I was searched and questioned at the airport for having an apple. FML
Today, I was fired for having a haircut that was 'inappropriate for the workplace'. I have alopecia. My boss told me to stop making up excuses. FML
Today, the guy I was seeing texted me a photo back of myself I had sent him earlier, saying I'm such a beautiful woman, suggesting that I set it as my profile pic. Too bad he doesn't think I'm pretty enough without a lot of enhancements, because he photoshopped the hell out of that thing. FML
Today, a guy asked for my number at a party. As I was entering my number into his phone, my name and a picture of me popped up. I'm afraid I just met my stalker. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy I had been talking to online for weeks. When I showed up, he looked nothing like his profile picture, and he spent the entire time talking about his ex-girlfriend. FML
Today, when I showed someone my 9-year old passport, she commented, “You look so different! Now you have that Jason Statham thing going on!” My hair goes down to my shoulders; this confirms that my receding hairline is real and it’s time to come to grips. At least I’m over 30. FML
Today, I got lost, and eventually noticed that I'd passed by the same house a few times. Apparently somebody who lives on that street noticed as well, because the next time I passed by, the police were waiting for me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should have called the police, he can't keep your ID.

It wasn't directed to you, it was directed to the OP. I just replied on your post to be on top.

That is unfortunate. I think you'll have to get a new license and make him pay for it. Or, lose weight

In Ontario, if the bouncer suspects you are not the person on the ID they can indeed take it from you. You can come back with more ID confirming you are who you are and get it back.

Ontario is just 1 province. Saying it's Canada is like saying Alaska is the US. Part of it, but not it.

That's generally true in a lot of places, though.

I work in a bar in Morgantown, WV. We're under county jurisdiction, so I can't speak for the rest of the state, but in mine, I have every right to take the ID provided that you have no other ID to prove that it is you. Examples include credit card, School ID, county ID, etc. Once we take the ID, we then turn it over to the ABCC (Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission) and they determine if it is a fake ID, or a real ID. They then send the real ID's to the DMV, who then send it back to you. In any case, bars are private establishments. The burden of proof is upon you to prove you are who you say you are (read: that you are 21), and not on me to prove that you aren't. If the bouncer in question had been me, I would have told you to go flag down a cop, get them to come show me credentials and tell me it's you. Then I would have let you in. I've done it several times before. Keep in mind, the bouncer in question would be PERSONALLY liable if you got in and were served underage. There's a reason we're dicks at the door. I don't feel like paying a ticket, and losing the job that makes me the money I would use to pay said ticket.

They usually take your card and get you to sign your signature on something to prove it's yours. FYL he was a jerk. You should talk to his manager when you go to get it back.
