I got carded today!

[raije]

I sincerely hope not. I've been going grey since I was 12.

My mom was 16 when she started going grey. Now she is 38 (I'm 20) and people think she is my age.
Go figure. =[

I sincerely hope not. I've been going natural blonde since I was 12.

I love to go to Wegmans and alcohol. They too have the policy of "everyone needs to be carded". YAY! I feel so young when they do that. (I'm 36 btw).

Bless your kind heart.

Truthfully, I was born a blonde (and prove it at least once a day!), and still have blonde streaks in my hair when I don't dye it.

For real???

Are you sure you're not just being a natural blonde right now?

(ducks and runs away)

I still get carded for smokes half the time at 28. If I knew my secret...

The last time it happened, I was in short sleeves. My right are is tattooed up completely so when the lady asked for ID, I pointed to my arm and said "Are you serious?" Not to be a dick...just joking...
She reply's "Hey, if your parent will sign for you, you can get a tat under 18"

"Yeah but if my mom would...she's a shitty mom...and she would probably let me smoke then..."

We both laughed, I pulled out the ID and then she commented me on having a really unrealistic birth date on my "obviously" fake ID. Pretty cool chick...

I visited Florida last year with hubby and the kids and I had been told that if you look under 40 while purchasing alcohol you'll be asked for ID. So I carried my passport at all times. Not once people, not one time was I asked for ID and I'm only 35!! I was gutted and now feel in the need for an extreme makeover!

I never let tattoos and babies be "proof of age" when I was a gas station clerk.

Believe it or not, I've only been carded once or twice, even when I was BARELY over 18. But the only adult things I buy are lotto. I guess they just don't take IDing as seriously for lotto as they would cigs and beer?

Incidentally, I remember seeing this one greeting card where this woman (who looks about 30s-early 40s; it's a cartoon though) is saying to herself "Yes!!" after a clerk asks for ID. I don't remember what it said exactly though...

For real???

Yep. Genetics courtesy of the paternal side of my Mommy's family.

Are you sure you're not just being a natural blonde right now?

Maybe. *looking shifty*

On a serious note, it took me a long time to get the MOTH© to realize that aside from the blonde in my hair, I also had grey and silver. I don't recall what got him to finally tell the difference.

No fair. I can't chase after you!!

I keep getting asked for ID here and the cutoff age is 20. I'm 34 years old!! Gee thanks for the compliment that I look 14 years younger than I am but I find it a little doubtful.

But whatever. I just show my ID and get on with my life. I don't understand these people that get all mad about it. I think they're probably hiding something!
