Underage college students trying to sneak into bars with fake IDs is practically a national pastime. Just when you think there can’t be a bigger hot mess, a woman slaps bouncer after he refuses to accept pizza slice as ID. As the Daily Hampshire Gazette reports, police say that a woman presumed to be a college student tried to walk into an Amherst, Mass. watering hole called the Monkey Bar, but was stopped by a bouncer who asked for ID. The woman then held out a slice of pizza as proof that she was over 21.

The legal drinking age in California is 21. The law says places are never required to sell or serve alcohol to anyone. A person does not have a legal “right” to buy alcohol, but bars have a legal right to refuse service to anyone who cannot produce adequate evidence of their age. And this is what the bouncer did. After the bouncer informed her pizza was not a valid form of identification, the woman then allegedly slapped him in the face.
“He’s all right,” Monkey Bar owner Rasif Rafiq told BuzzFeed. “They have to have really thick skin, so this was a comparatively entertaining incident.”
Amherst police issued a trespass notice to the woman to stay away from the location, but Rafiq says he doesn’t hold a grudge.
“We wish her the best with continuing her education,” he said. “We’ve all had nights in college we regret.”
