    people always think im older than i am, 2 people thought i was the eldest in my family, actually the youngest.!

    Im only 18! i cant look that old! i reassure myself its because of my maturity! but even my sister said to me this morning, i look way older than 18! that was a great thing to hear!lol

    I'm generally bearded, but every time I shave I get ID'd.

    It's not fun being ID'd when you're 25!

    Red, call people lass all you want, but drunken switch 360 kicks should be dropped.

    I had a big bruise on my wrist for a week!

    You lot made me do it! i wanted to get food!

    Next time we'll get one of the girls to be the target ;)

    Oh no that wasn't directed at you specifically :)

    In fairness, if you have a child you have to grow up a lot. My mate had a baby at 19 and another baby last year and even though she's 25, she's still a lot older than I and my other 29/30-year-old mates...

    Right.

    Lad in the offy there asked me for my ID and, upon looking at it, gave an almost surprised "hmm, fair enough!" look and served me.

    At a funeral a few weeks ago, a friend of the family asked me was I married :confused: (i.e she must have assumed I was 27 plus)

    My age difference record dates from when I was 18 (nearly 19) and she was 25. When the subject came up back at her gaff I claimed to be going on 24 :)

    Prior to that was 17 and 22. She probably tweaked when I avoided going to a pub with her the next day that I knew from prior experience Id be thrown out of as soon as I was spotted, didnt bother contacting her again.

    Same pub used to serve all my mates yet the manager was always wise to me. Went in the Saturday after turning 18, ID in pocket, walk up to same guy and ask for a pint of Bud (there had been nobody on the door either.)
    Pours, requests money, transaction completed :confused: No ID demand. This lad had put me out while I was drinking a pint of water (didnt want to waste a half drank beer as I knew he would see me eventually) with two underage mates who were drinking beer a few weeks previously as it was after 9pm, and yet it was if I suddenly looked 18? :confused:

    People in work assume anywhere between 19 and 26.


    Id guess myself as 23.

    There you go. If Crimeline ever issue a description of a suspect as being aged between 17 and 29 yis can rat away :)

    People my age seem to always nail it. But older women always think I'm about 15/16. Bummer, considering I like the older woman, so I do.

    Come on man! That's just an older chick trying to be all "You're too young for me"! She obviously wouldn't think your 15/16 (assuming you've been chatting her up in a pub/club).

    Come up with a funny rebuttle and engage in conversation again!

    Im 20 and get mistaken sometimes for 22/23 not to big at all but when I was 16 it was a different story got 21 a good few times. Which was great for getting into nightclubs and pubs. Think that was down to me having facial hair at a young age.

    I'm 42 but look younger. I have been asked for ID since I have moved to Ireland. I even had a mate in the UK who thought I was only 30, but I told him he came to my 30th birthday party! Too many beers I guess.

    When I was 21 I was asked if i was 27/28, which annoyed me. Now I'm 25 and I get asked for I.d for cigarettes! When I unleashed my passport the guy in the shop asked if it was real and then started laughing.

    I'm 24 with an average guessed age of 32.

    Not too surprising seeing as I'm shaving since I was 13.

    Apparently the difference between when I'm scruffy/unshaven and shaven is around 5 years. Who woulda thunk :(

    Was sitting outside the local shops with my two cousins, aged 6 and 3 eating ice cream and two auld ladies walked by and commented on how lucky '' you two boys are to be able to sit and have an ice cream with your mammy!!'' before wandering off on their way!

    I'm only 18!! I'd have had to have had a baby at 12?!

    I'm due to catch up soon, and at that point I'll start getting younger again. (I think thats how it works anyway).

    Yep I know that one. Since I've been about 20 I always got the 30's bit. Now I'm 41, I still do. So not too bad. I've been the same age for decades. :) To the point when I needed a photo for my passport two years ago, being lazy I just posted in two of me at 23. Which is either good or just means I'm stuck in fashion hell. :D

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I'm 20, and pretty much everyone that finds this out gets shocked and says "I would've thought you were about 25" including many boardsies at the last beers, and a guy in work who I knew for months before he found out.
