Waitress Given Her Own ID by Customer

Waitress checks customer's ID, discovers self

WESTLAKE, Ohio (AP) -- A bar waitress checking to see if a customer was legally old enough to drink looked down to see a familiar photo.

It was her own.

The 22-year-old waitress, whose name was not released, called police last week and said she had been handed her own stolen driver's license by a woman trying to prove she was 21.

The woman, who became suspicious of the delay as the waitress went to call police, fled the Moosehead Saloon, but her companion provided her name.

Maria Bergan, 23, of Lakewood, was charged Sunday night with identity theft and receiving stolen property. She was arrested at her home in suburban Cleveland.

The waitress said she had lost her wallet July 9 at a bar in Lakewood.

"The odds of this waitress recovering her own license defy calculation," police Capt. Guy Turner said Monday.

A 23-year old person needing a fake ID to prove she's 21?

She was probably wanted for something or simply did not have a valid drivers license.

Unless I'm mistaken, and I don't think I am, Darwin Awards are for people who remove themselves from the gene pool by dying in some incredibily stupid way.

So this wouldn't qualify.

This is a pretty funny story.

Actually, the Darwin Awards are just for the dumbest people in the world:

Anyway, what a strange story.

This site disagrees, and it would seem to be the authority on the issue.

The Darwin Awards salute the improvement of
the human genome by honoring those who accidentally
kill themselves in really stupid ways.
