I always travel under an alias. For all I knew, everybody was lying about who they were that summer. (lemmy.ca)

I don't know the reference but the sentence reminded me of a stupid situation I was in. So gather round for an anecdote.

I wanted to travel a bit so I booked a hotel in Toronto and took a train from Montreal. However, the day before that, I went for a bike ride and took my health card out of my wallet to only bring this with me. And I left it in the pocket of my exercise shorts. So I didn't have it with me. Also, I don't drive and have no license.

So once in Toronto, it was impossible to get my hotel room because I had no valid ID with a picture. I tried to get another hotel room anywhere, checked with 4 or 5 others, but they all had the same answer. No ID with a picture means no room.

I ended up spending the night outside. I slept on cardboard like a homeless person. Just besides Union Station and the CN tower.

So I guess that if you travel under an alias, don't forget the fake IDs.
