Schatzi: Is this address current?
Guest: The one on the driver's license is.
Since that was the only ID of theirs I had, I wonder what people like this are thinking. Why doesn't a "yes" or "no" suffice?
I'm a full-time student who makes ends meet in a seedy motel on the edge of one of Portland's notorious vice districts. Though we get a lot of nice out-of-towners either driving through town or coming through the airport, we also see a lot of the vermin that populate Portland's underbelly. Or as I put it once, "Tweakers, hookers, and vagrants--oh my!"
Personally, I'm constantly amazed by what I see of humanity here: the nasty, the dumb, and on rare occasions, the sublime.

Maybe, like me, they're too distractable to remember what ID they handed you, and just rattle off the answer they have rehearsed for that question. Not an excuse, but an explanation.
Doesn't work for me. What all do people think they're handing out as id instead?
