1. Serious question

How do these 183,000 people without IDs survive in the modern world? In the past week and a half, I had to show mine when I started a new job Monday before last as required by the I-9, at a concert to pick-up my tickets, at a bar to get in, at Wells Fargo to cash my first paycheck from my new job, at Safeway to buy beer, had my DL swiped at a gas station to buy a lottery ticket, at airport security to help a handicapped friend board a plane, at Fry's to use my credit card, at the Comcast office to pick-up equipment for new Internet access, at AT&T to renew my cellphone contract(at a lower price!), to a notary to sign off on my load paperwork to refinance my car, at the bank to process the loan, and at a rental car place. I'm in my forties so I assume someone younger is required to show their ID even more often. That's thirteen times in ten days!

I forgot another time. At Red Robin so I could get a free burger on my birthday! I don't know how I forgot about a free burger.
