Do Not Show Your ID When Robbing a Bank

bradley13 writes "When the world's most gullible bank robber went in to rob a bank, the teller told him she needed to see two forms of ID before she could give him the money. Now he's enjoying three hots and a cot. From the article: 'A judge sentenced 49-year-old Nathan Wayne Pugh of Sachse (SAK'-see) to more than eight years on Tuesday. Pugh tried to hold up a Dallas Wells Fargo Bank in July. The teller stalled Pugh by telling him she needed to see two forms of ID. Pugh showed her his Wells Fargo debit card and a state ID card. He was captured as he tried to flee with $800.'"

Teller

The teller should be given a reward for her quick thinking. That was positively brilliant!

Panic response

There is also the possibility that the teller went into automatic pilot due to panic. People do strange things when threatened.

Definitely still commendable. Dropping to script is a much better option than wigging out and completely panicking, perhaps making the situation worse.

That reward should be taken out of the robber's own bank account. That's the punishment for being so goddamn stupid!

Seems Macfarlane-esque

This seems like a joke from a Seth Macfarlane cartoon...
