I just got asked for ID at the supermarket when buying wine!  |
|
 Thing is, I'm 30 in four months and the legal age for buying booze here in the Uk is 18. This hasn't happened to me since I was about 17! I'm so flattered! It means I look almost 12 years younger than my age (or the cashier needs glasses)!
When was the last time you got asked for ID when buying alcohol or cigarettes? In fact, do they usually bother to ask in your country at all?

1.  jhl930 (2836) | 2 years ago |  I live in the United States of America and I know that some of the older people still get ask for their ID and I think that it would flatter just about anyone because when you start to get up there in age you start to think that you are old and then someone does something like that and it makes you feel like you are a kid again because they are asking for your ID so that makes you feel like they think that you look alot younger than you thought that you did...

| 2. zukepr (11799) | 2 years ago | that happened to my Boo last year!
except he was 37 and he was buying cold medicine! LOL
I get carded fairly often and it doesnt bother me
i think its flattering
except when I am in a hurry then its just a pain | |
| |
|
|
| Jezebel1978 (217) | 2 years ago | Exactly! I don't find it offenive usually but it was a real pain today. I was rushing back from work and trying to buy groceries to cook my daughter's dinner! I felt like saying "I have a 10 year old at home- do you think I was 8 when I gave birth?". Still, I'll be praying for it to happen in 10 years time I guess! | |

3.  wolfie34 (13930) | 2 years ago |  Wow now that is a compliment! Bet that made your day! I have my height going for me, I was always tall for age and never got asked for id as I always looked much older than I was, so that was a great plus! Now I'm 36 and no way could I pass for under 18, I wish! A lot of shopkeepers don't bother asking for ID now because they get a lot of verbal abuse and trouble, trouble is, most who give the trouble and verbal abuse are certainly under legal age!

| Jezebel1978 (217) | 2 years ago | Funny, you know. I was tall for my age as a teenager and never had any trouble buying booze and cigs when I WAS underage. I, like you, looked older. But I don't seem to have changed that much unless you look closely! | |

| Jezebel1978 (217) | 2 years ago | Well, it didn't happen again today in the same shop. That's why I was so surprised- I go there pretty much every day and have done for four years and I've never been asked before. Weird. Maybe I had a youthful grin on my face or something! And in my opinion you're a wonderful looking 35 yourself by the way! | |

| 6. desertdarlene (5847) | 2 years ago |  I know in San Diego, at least, a lot of stores will ID you if you look like you are younger than 30 or 35. So, you can still be ID'd pretty easily for quite some time. Though, that's not to say that you don't look young for your age.
I don't drink alcohol, so I've never been ID'd except once or twice when I bought Sudafed or something else that can be used to make drugs. And, I don't by Sudafed anymore, so I haven't been ID'd in a while.

|
| Jezebel1978 (217) | 2 years ago | You know, I used to look old for my age too- it was me everyone sent down the off-license to buy the booze when we were teenagers. I just can't have changed that much since then! Not sure if that's good or not?!? | |

I'm always so very flattered when someone thinks im younger than i am. It so just makes my day.

| Jezebel1978 (217) | 2 years ago | Well really it was like that when I first started going to pubs. The doorman would ask how old you are. Just to check, he'd then ask your year of birth. You'd just stand there saying "errrrm", while you counted back on your fingers and then they'd let you in! | |

 wickedangel (1384) | 2 years ago |  I gosh yes, I remember doing that (tee hee). It was so obvious we weren't the age we said we were. I remember trying to get into the local discos in London and I think I was only about 14-16 at the time and the guys would be asking me what 'O' levels I'd done and what 'A' levels etc., and if you saw them the following week I'd have to try and remember...
