This happened a few years back, and it still haunts me. I went to a local bar/grill. As the hostess seated me, she asked if she could get me a drink. I said yes, and she asked for my ID. This is where I effed up.

I should note, I’m 6’6, and a big guy with a beard. She was a petite 21 year-old.

I pulled out my ID. It was a horrid Pic- I have on an orange shirt, and I was too tall for the cera, so I’m looking down at a weird angle. I looked like a creeper, and in the orange shirt, a convict. So as I had her my ID I say “Laugh it up, it makes me look like a serial predator.”

In good humor she says "Well, mine makes me look like a 14-year old girl.

'Well, that’s perfect," I say, “They’ll have pictures to use for both of us when you go missing.” One of those moments where I was trying to be funny, but as soon as the words were out of my mouth I instantly wanted them back.

She gave a very awkward laugh and I never saw her again. Didn’t get that drink I ordered, either.

TL;DR: Trying to be funny when asked for my ID, ended up being creepy and implying I had a thing for 14 year-old girls instead.
