I always get ID'ed because I live in a college/student neighborhood. But there's a couple of shops and restaurants that are pretty lax, so it's not terrible.
It seems that a combination of my facial piercings, my scraggly facial hair, my "do-not-give-a-fudge" attitude, and my incredible aura of rampant sexuality haven't got me ID'd since I was 17. I keep my expired passport in my bag with me, just in case. This is not unlike how I look when purchasing drinks, however.
Not really, I don't drink/not old enough to anyways The only time I really get carded is when I buy spray paint or M rated games, both of which I don't do that often anyways
No, but I was asked for ID when buying a bottle opener once, I was already in a bad mood so called the shop assistant a naughty word and walked out without it (I was in a shopping centre so just toddled of to Debenhams to get one). Apparently it's policy in some places because they could be used as an offensive weapon, that's right, give me all the money from the till or i'm going to graze your finger whilst opening this ice cold beer.
Ooph, I got this same crap when I tried to buy some butane when I was 16 or 17.. Lady at the cash register gave me a speech about how it's worse than meth and heroin and that I should never stick the nozzle into my nose under any circumstances. I just wanted to refill my torch lighter
I got the same thing buying paper cutting scissors from WHsmith They were made from complete plastic... mean't for kids I just bought a paper and wanted to cut out a coupon for someone real quick and they asked for ID, seriously i would be surpised if it cut paper let alone cutting someone else
I get ID'd alot which is a pain being nearly 28. Personal favourites, ID'd for plastic cutlery, for Petrol and lastly being told I was to young to buy high grab adhesive but they were happy to sell me a set of chisels
I'm 19, so I (rightfully I suppose) get ID'd everywhere except the student union bar. I do look like I'm about 13 though.
I'm 28 and still get asked at most places on a large city night out, not in any country/local pubs. Did get id'd last year when buying a packet of fags at a shell station.
17 and apparently look 20. But i didnt get ID'd when i was 15/16 then got a brace... Only starting to not get ID'd again. Pubs in somerset dont give a damn either.
I got id'd in tesco when I was buying teaspoons... Very dangerous gouging weapon apparently (actually just laughed about it with the girl at the till - apparently plastic spoons also require ID) For drinks, i haven't been id'd in about 6 months, which is a bit worrying as I'm 19 and tend to go out in studenty areas.
I got told last week by the gorgeous receptionist at work that she thought I was well over 30... I'm only 24, a year younger than her. Could have had something to do with the wildman beard I keep growing out occasionally. When I'm freshly shaved I often used to get asked for ID if I went to a club or tried to buy alcohol or cigarettes, but found if I kept a 5o'clock shadow or next day beard, I never do.
I'm 18 and get ID'd for everything, including 15 movies, and for a 12 game before Christmas! Stupid baby face...
Where abouts in Somerset are you from? I live in Frome! Anyways... I ALWAYS get ID'ed. I'm only 22 but look a mere 12/13. I guess that's good for later on in life?
I very rarely drink, but when I do buy something, I probably get IDed half the time. Am 21, look around 21 too. When I was 19 I get IDed for a lottery ticket which was pretty annoying. Me: "Erm, do I look 15?!" and the person just shrugged.
