Fake it til you make it

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

The people saying that he could have phrased it more nicely are completely missing it. What made her cry was the realization that the accident prevented her from being recognized as the same person she was before. There's no way he could have questioned that without touching on the fact that she just doesn't look like that anymore.

In my opinion, it is either an incredibly unfortunate misunderstanding or an underage girl who is really good at crying on command. When my sister was in a horrific car accident, she almost lost the entire left side of her face (but didn't, thanks to reconstruction). Her jaw was broken, many of her teeth knocked out, and several bones were severely crushed. In her case, and in most cases, the main focus of the EMTs was not to salvage her current license or any other belongings, but to save her life. When she was released from the hospital, she was not only required to get a NEW license, but she had to take her driving test all over again. Now, if this young lady was fortunate enough to have someone at the scene of the accident worried about her wallet and other worldly possessions, I am clearly out of line for assuming that she would have had to have gotten a new license. To the poster: If not, I'm sorry you had to deal with those kinds of shenanigans.

i've been thinking about this, and i bet they planned it like that. it was a fake with someone else and they just had a script for what to do/say if they got hassled... YOU NEVER KNOW WITH THESE KIDS THESE DAYS and #2 is retarded. he's a bouncer; it's his job.

It seems like you would be able to tell if someone was badly disfigured... but that aside, this isn't so much a **** your life as a **** HER life. That poor girl has probably been trying to convince herself ever since it happened that she'll look/she does still look like herself, and it would really hurt to hear otherwise.

That sucks man. I understand the guilt you must feel but as how many have said, no way you could have known.

yeahreally 6

aww that sucks...but you had no idea.

Well I mean if she was badly disfigured she should've went and taken a new picture I mean for all you know it was a fake id and her friends were guilt tripping you to still come let her drink I mean it is april fulls XD regardless you were just doing your job =/
