Subject: Do you ever get carded?

Written By: whistledog on 09/25/05 at 11:10 pm

For those of you who are legally allowed to buy lotto tickets, beer, smokes, etc ... do you sometimes get asked to show I.D.?

I'm 27, and I often have to show I.D. when I buy lotto tickets.  Apparently I do not look over 18  :(

No, I go to the same places all the time so the people know me already.

I don't think I'd get carded anyway though.. I'm 33 and have some gray hair already.

No.  I'm way too old for that to happen.   :-\\

Last year, I got carded at Blockbuster Video while trying to purchase the DVD of The Ladykillers, a movie that is rated 14A (which is the Canadian equivalent of PG-13).  I know it's a good thing to be mistaken for a younger age, but a 13 year difference?  That was the biggest slap in the face I ever got  :\'(

I need to grow a thick beard so I won't ever get carded again  ;D

On the few occasions that I go somewhere and don't bring my drivers license.. I am always thinking that will be the one time I will get carded.

No...even when I was 16, I was never refused service or ordered out of a pub for being 'under age'...

Probably shows you how old I looked for my age...charming!

Grow a bread, then your appearance will be older.

Well, I don't smoke and hardly drink (I'm tame in that regard I guess, lol), but when I've bought 'em for my friends and it's a store where they don't know me, I usually do get carded.

Soon after I turned 18 it semi bugged me, but I don't mind anymore. In fact, the older I get, the more I think it's kinda cool - I'd love to still have the "Michael J Fox curse" when I'm over 30!

Sorry if this is a silly question, but is your avatar a pic of yourself? If so, I'd guess you to be around anywhere from 22-27.

You said your "younger" friend was 26, so you do look young for your age IMO. ;)

Depends on where I'm going. Most of the places I frequent , know me already. I actually get annoyed when I do get carded. Like I want to dig in my purse infront of strangers to pull out my wallet. ::)

Sometimes I do get carded. I am nearing 29 years of age....but people tell me that I could pass for someone just barely 20! LOL!  Sometimes when I go and buy snuff (chewing tobacco) for my husband they actually card me!!! LOL!  It is really annoying to have to get my ID out.  I hardly ever drink...but on the occasion when I have one or two...I usually never get carded...it's only usually when I am buying snuff for Chris...go figure? ::)

Haven't been carded in a long time (except at the airport  ::) ).  One time Carlos was carded for paying with cash-for ORANGE JUICE??  :o

Never have since becoming old enough to drink/smoke whatever and only twice did before that.  One time my hair was up in bunches and it was at a holiday camp disco mainly aimed at the 14-16 crowd.  the other time it was at a pub which nearly lost its licence for underage drinkers.  I actually would have been allowed in by the doorman (I had carefully worked out what my date of birth should be) but my friend panicked and got herself all muddled up.  At the time we didn't have prove your age cards in this country.  Now there is a voluntary system you can register with.

When ever I'm with one of my firends , we both get carded. I guess her squeaky voice makes them think we are kids  ;D

It was one of those airheads that didn't have any idea what she was doing. I guess she had never seen cash before and asked to see his I.D. I think she was wearing shoulder pads with her head going back and forth, saying, "I don' know"  ::)

It's actually law here that if you look under 25, you must be I.D'ed.

I find the larger chain stores ask for ID everytime, where-as bars, restaurants and liquor stores, hardly ever.

when I was in college, I didn't have a driver's license.  All I had was a student ID card with my DOB on it.  One night, I was trying to get into a club, but apparently the big dumb bouncer doesn't know how to add a date of birth with today's year.  I had to do the math for him until he finally agreed to let me in  ::)

I was carded on my 30th birthday and was so excited I let everyone know.  The clerk tried to apologize,
as if there was anything to apologize for!  ;D

I was buying Chris some Copenhagen chew tonight...and the girl totally carded me...after looking at my ID and seeing that I am 29 years old...she was like, "OMG...I am SO sorry, I feel bad now"...I was like, "eh, no worries, I know by now to bring my ID with me". :D ;D

I still get carded whenever I buy Lotto Tickets.  One time, this lady accused me of forging my ID to make it look like I am older than I am.  She said that I have a baby face, and there's no way I could possibly be 28 years old  :\'(  >:(

I'll be 24 in June, so I've been drinking for only 3 years, but in the times that I've gone out, I have never been been carded.  I always thought it was funny.  On my 21st birthday, when I ordered my very first drink, the bartender didn't ask to see my ID.
