I was just in flashchat and Jonnyredline made me remember a funny situation that happened to me a number of years ago while I was living in Vancouver. I am bored outa my mind so I figure what the hell.
So I had walked into a check cashing place to get a check converted because I hadn't set up direct deposit yet with the new company I was working for yet I had to pay the damage deposit asap for a new apartment I was moving into on english bay.
So I'm waiting in line for what I thought was a really long period of time and decided that I would cash the check on my lunchbreak instead. I go to leave to meet my GF waiting outside and the door is locked. Meaning I can't get out!
I thought, well this is weird and ask the guy behind the counter what gives. He just says wait a minute and nothing further. I'm pretty easy going but also not stupid and realize that something must be going on for them to lock me and the only other customer inside the place. By now others are trying to get in also and the door remains locked. Ok, now I know something is up for sure.
I decided it obviously has something to do with the other customer whom has been taking so long for his transaction to be completed. He's also gettiing more and more twitchy and nervous. Insisting he needs to go.
I also notice from my view a few cop cars pulling up sorta around back of the place, the other guy doesn't notice this and can't see it from his view.
The guy behind the counter starts pretending to count out the cash he believes he will be recieving and the clerk once again asks for his ID. The guy gives him a drivers license, clerk takes it, asks the guy what his current address is. Guy doesn't know and just says, check the drivers license for that. Clerk very switftly grab the guys whole wallet that he had put down really close to the little opening in the glass.
Clerk asks the guys name. Guy says, blahblah whatever. Clerk asks the guys middle name, guy doesn't know gets agitated and pretends that it's upsetting him to prove who he is when he clearly has the id to prove it. Wants to leave. Door is locked. Tries to chit chat with me, I tell him to get the fuyck away from me.
Now it's obvious that the guys games is up. Why? Well, 2 cops are coming in the front door (previously locked, now magically unlocked) 2 cops are coming out from behind the glassed off desk area where the clerk is. The guy tries to continue to pretend to be blah blah, and insists he is being treated badly, he would like his check for 2000 and his wallet back so he can go. Cop asks him what his name is, he once again claims its blah blah. Cops asks his address, guy doesn't know, says he recently moved there, just check his licnse. Cop asks his middle name, guy ignores the question and pretends to be offended and get angry and insulted more.
Suddenly tries to bolt and get around the two cops who came in the from the previously locked main door. complete fail on his part since not only do the two cops have a real good hold on him but the door is once again also locked. He is screaming now to let him go and this must be some mistake.
Finally the guy behind the glass yells, ya the mistake is asshole thats my wallet, my ID and my check from this very business that were all stolen from my apartment last night during a breakin!
Me, standing way off to the side by this time suddenly breaks out in very loud laughter, then finally saying BUSTED, wow are you ever a dumbass dude. Holy cow, this is a classic!
I could not stop laughing for hours afterwards.
One of the funniest things I have been first hand witness to and one of the funniest fails I have ever heard of in my life. How could the guy be any dumber? The ID he gave was of the guy he was giving it too! And it was his check also. Man, so funny.
