I was out having a meal at a pub with a couple of friends today. The pub was very, very quiet. At one point, my friends and I were the only customers. So this made this so much easier to overhear.
A father and son enter, and go to the bar to speak to the manager. The son looks about 16. The father looks annoyed.
F: I believe you have my sons I.D! You took it off him last night!
M: Oh, the driver's licence I confiscated. Is that what you are after?
F: Yes! Why did you take it off him?
M: Well, there were a couple of issues. Firstly, the I.D said he was born in 1978.
F: And? That just proves he is old enough!
M: We were also unsure about the photograph. Although the photo on the I.D has a slight resembelence, we still weren't sure, so we asked your son if he had anything else with his name on it.
F: Yes, and?
M: He gave us a bank card with a completely different name on it.
F: Well, ummm, maybe the bank put the wrong name on his card.
M: I don't think so sir. And no offence, but there is no way that your son is 32 years old. And if he is, perhaps he should be asking for the I.D back himself.
F: Well, he might have a medical condition! You don't know!
M: So we had an I.D with a picture that didn't look like the owner, the age was much older than he appeared to be, and the only other form of I.D he had had a different name on it. So we came to the conclusion that the I.D may have been stolen, and confiscated it.
F: That's ridiculous! He had I.D that proved he was 18!
M: Oh, well I thought being born in 1978 would make someone 32, not 18.
F: Uuuuhhhh....uhhhhhhhh....
M: So is that everything?
F: Well no, I want it back.
M: I gave it to the police. It is being returned to it's rightful owner.
F: What?!
Father turned to his son.
F: Well, now you've lost that, there's no chance of getting served anywhere until you're....you're....until you have replaced your I.D!
M: And I will be giving the police an update on this.
They walked out.
So we had a young boy, who either stole, found or borrowed someone else's I.D, attempted to use it, got caught and then got his dad to try and get it back for him. And then the dad has the nerve to be annoyed about the whole thing.

Also, why is it that if I'd had a stolen ID and tried to get my dad to help me get it back, I would have in shitloads of trouble? That's not fair.
