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

It wasn't me

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

This is not your fault at all, not even remotely. People who think it is are just too sensitive. You didn't know, you were doing your job, and she should have updated her photo. People who think he deserved that, grow up. what is he suppose to do? be super friendly and considerate to everyone keeping in mind the possibilities of people in car wrecks? No. They have to be firm and honest, because THEY can get into trouble if they let people in who could be younger they could loose their job.

If the person w/ID does not look like the person in the ID photo, THERE IS NO WAY THAT I WILL TAKE IT AS GOOD.

You didn't do anything wrong. You couldn't have known and you were doing your job. I'd feel bad if I were in your position as well, but don't worry about it. At least you do your job well and take it seriously.

I love how on this site, you atomaticly get YDI from people if the FML was caused by the poster in any way. But if it was caused by someone else, the poster gets a YLIF. This definitely wasn't your fault. You were doing your job and made an innocent mistake.

You didn't do anything wrong. Fake I.D's are a big problem nowadays and you did your job by being strict .

I'm with you man, you were just doing your job, stopping underages to drink at that times. If you think about it thoroughly, what you are doing is basically preventing other kids to drive drunk and having accidents that will leave your face totally disfigured. Totally don't deserve it.

No way you coulda known... it's hard to be a bouncer AND be sensitive. You were just doing your job =

No 2 he is a bouncer, its his job to judge people like that. You must be retarded. Also if she was badly disfigured then she should have gotten a new ID, the cops would probably arrest her for using a false ID if she was asked for it and didn't look like the person on the ID. It sucks, but that life, those pictures serve a purpose.

I don't know, this one is kind of a toss up. Did she LOOK completely disfigured? Then perhaps he was out of line. But it's his job to be suspicious, and if she's had the surgery (plastic or reconstructive) to make her look "normal" again, albeit different than the pic, then it's an FML.
