when I was 15 people would say they thought I was "about 20". Now that I'm 29, people keep saying I look "about 20". I don't get carded much because the drinking etc. age over here is 18.

Well, at my grocery store (we sell beer/wine/cigs) we have a "Under 30 We ID" rule. Yet, even when I was just barely over 18, I was only carded for lotto tickets maybe once or twice. I guess stores don't take IDing for lotto as seriously as they do for say, adult beverages?

One time me, boytoy, and a friend go to the movies. Total comes to less then we were expecting, but toddled off anyway...
.. actually look at the tickets, and they had sold us two adult tickets and one child's ticket. The friend we were there with was 19. She pouted the rest of the night, and we just laughed and enjoyed the fact that we saved money due to our baby-faced companion.

When I was 19 and in college, I went on a trip to Florida with my father, and got mixed signals. One restaurant we went to didn't blink an eye when I ordered an [alcoholic] drink (the drinking age was 21), indicating to me that I looked older.
But then there was this man who overheard us talking about going to Epcot Center at the hotel diner during breakfast one day, and said that I was too young to enjoy it! He was like shocked when we told him I was 19.
I don't know how young he could possibly have thought I was. At 19, I don't think I could have passed for anything less than 15, which is way old enough for Epcot Center.

Quoth solidmetalgear19 View PostMe: Uh, well we have a policy where we have to card anyone who we suspect of being under the age of 17.
H:
As for what you said to her about why you were carding her, you might want to rephrase that....rather than saying you card anyone who you suspect of being under 17, just say you card anyone that looks under 18/20/whatever you feel comfortable with. That way you won't be irritating someone who thinks that you "suspecting" them means you are accusing them, blah blah blah entitlement whore blah blah blah playing the victim blah blah blah.
Quoth Boozy View PostI still get carded, and I'm a few months shy of 30. Not as impressive as some of these 40 year-olds getting asked for their ID, but it still makes me happy.
Quoth princess4life View Post"No one under 21 could have 3 kids that age."
Please. Not only COULD a person under 21 have three kids, I am betting a good number of them actually DO.

Quoth TheKit10666 View PostI always get carded. Sometimes this is very sad. My sister, who by the way is six years younger than I am and a minor, and myself went to the movies together and it was a rated R movie. They asked me for id but did not ask my sister. My sister was thirteen at the time and I was the one that had to buy her ticket. She just laughed the whole way to the line.

Right. Because, you know, young teens NEVER have sex.

I always have to laugh when I'm out to dinner with my boyfriend. I never get carded when I'm on my own. When I'm out with him though, I (28 years old) ALWAYS get carded and he (26 years old) never does. It's been that way for three years. We've started making jokes with waitresses about it. Some will indulge me and card him afterall. I always like those waitresses."Any free samples?"
"Sorry, not today."
Come on people, we're a bank not a bakery.
