Each and every night on the town has one thing in common- your ID. Whether you’re heading local, or trying somewhere sparkly and new, that not-so-shiny plastic card in your back pocket is your key to the successes of the night ahead. Believe it or not, your driver’s license may just be setting your night off to a good, or bad start. After flashing that holographic mug shot at the door, it’s time to ask the question; just what is your ID saying about you?
D.O.B:
One little number can spell trouble or triumph on a trip to your favourite venue. If your birth date decade begins with a ’7′, be sure to receive a stare from security, as they discern whether you or not you should be home with the kids. Born in the 80s? You’re just another blimp in the crowd. If your card dons the date of birth from the 90s, be prepared for the bouncer to spend a couple of moments counting fingers and toes just to ensure you’re not underage.
Address:
Place of residency lets others know what to expect from your behaviour in coming hours. West side suburban? Security has already memorised your mug. East side instead? Bouncers are rolling eyes in preparation for complaints on line length. Inner city man? They know you won’t be around for long so don’t even bother with a second glance, unless they know you of course.
P-plater:
According to experts, the colour red speaks of danger- something that relates back to our years in the animal kingdom. Not surprisingly, the red strip stamped across p-plate license cards tell bouncers you’re most likely out for a big night, and haven’t learnt how to handle alcohol either. Strategic placement of your thumb over this segment of your license can work wonders on perceived maturity. Teehee.
Automatic or Manual:
Automatic drivers are often labelled as either lazy or stupid. While, we’re sure this isn’t true , it’s best to grin and bare that dummed down look security guards may give you upon entrance. After all- given the education level of those lovely bouncer boys, you can be sure they can only operate an automatic too.
