So last night I get my ass ready and do the trip downtown to go to this pub that my friends like called McKibbons. In my opinion one of the better pubs in Montreal however, kinda in the tourist district so you have to put up with some loud drunk Americans. (meh, could be worse I guess)
Point being though that I've been there many a times.
I get there and the bouncer is stopping these little blonde girls in short jeans skirts that look like they're from the US. (sometimes you can just tell). I walk right by them and go to walk in the club. He comes after me grabs my arms and asks to see my ID. "Are you serious?" He says he is and we step back outside.
- I hand him my drivers with my picture (it is an old picture)
- nope I'll need something else along with this
- I explain it's the only ID with a picture that I have BUT give him my health card, SIN card, credit cards AND birth certificate - all with the same name. He could have compared the birth certificate with the date of birth.
- He looks at me and is like, nope I'm not going to accept that
- me - "what? why? this is my ID, you asked to see it I'm showing it to you - I have my birth certificate"
At this point I'm kinda of annoyed - it would have been such a big deal if we were in the US where the legal drinking age is 21. I'm 23, but I'm short with a little voice so it's not a far stretch depending on what I wear.
HOWEVER, this is Canada, AND this is Montreal where the legal drinking age is 18!!!! And I'm sorry but there is NO WAY that this fucker thinks I'm 16.
But of course by that time I'm giving him attitude and he looks me striaght in the eye and repeats himself "I'm not accepting it if you don't have anything else with your picture on it."
So I go all the way home - my friends inside having a great time. Including Phonepheng who I haven't see in FOREVER. I was sooooooooo pissed. And I know that had I shown up behind them they wouldn't have even asked for my ID.
