Airports are demanding photo ID, and it has to be valid--when I flew last summer, I had forgotten to update my DL, and my boarding pass was flagged to be checked at the security gate, so I had to be wanded.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Yeowtch! Just gave myself a file folder cut that's bleeding everywhere. No bandaids so I've had to Macgyver it with a napkin and tape.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan
Once, my ID expired the day before I flew, and I was almost not allowed on the plane. They finally let me on with my mom-the-flight-attendant-for-that-actual-company, whom I was flying with, doing some begging, lots of extra security checks, and looking at all the other IDs I had in my wallet.
And dude. The ID expired September 30. It was October 1st! What did they think had changed in the 12 intervening hours? It was still my face on there. And I was going to the state the ID had been issued in, actually to get a new ID.
Very strange.
ETA: Eww, Hec! That sucks! I'm sorry.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

But on the plus side, you can now use your finger to crack a safe.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
File folder paper cuts are the WORST. Yuck.
When I lost my license, before there were websites, I just brought everything I could think of, and I still almost couldn't qualify for a new one. I think it was a random piece of mail in my purse that pushed me over the edge into Verified Person.

Napkins and tape can open a safe? That doesn't like safes are very secure when any office temp with access to the supply closet could break in.

Yeah, plus then you're trying to avoid getting blood all over the paperwork.

It's awesome months later, though, when you find the bloody papers.

Not so much the napkins and tape, but the fact that the spirit of Macgyver was invoked....
