...even on Monday morning i would hope i wouldn't be this dumb.

 A couple of weeks ago, Brianna Priddy had her wallet stolen.  Then, one night working her shift as a server at Applebee's, she was handed her own ID when waiting a table.

It seems the person who was using it decided to present the stolen driver's license instead of her own when ordering a drink.  It ultimately resulted in her arrest, of course, when Priddy notified the police while continuing to simply go about her job as if nothing were happening.

Why the theif would do this when her own ID gave her age as 26 is the big mystery.  While she is obviously not in need of a fake ID to buy liquor, i would say that if i weren't smart enough to recognize the person i stole an ID from, i wouldn't want anyone to know who i was, either.
