What is it with people mistaken your age??

People have thought i was 28/30/31/34:eek:

I'm only a baby at 21:(

One or two years either way grand, no problem there.

But 13 years is a bit much!:mad:

gcgirl · 23-07-2008 6:37pm

i'm 33 but most people think i'm only 25/26 !!

RedXIV · 23-07-2008 6:40pm

am 21 and get told i look alot older. used to aim for that when i was younger, now i'm fighting it!

Archeron · 23-07-2008 6:43pm

People have suspected me of being in my thirties since I was about 11.
I'm due to catch up soon, and at that point I'll start getting younger again. (I think thats how it works anyway).

arseagon · 23-07-2008 6:46pm

I'm 29 and up until about a year ago often got asked for ID when buying ciggies or beer.

bronte · 23-07-2008 6:47pm

I'm 24 and people sometimes think I'm 16! :eek:
Nice problem to have I suppose!

****ing hell I thought you were 24/25!

Kiera · 23-07-2008 6:51pm

I got asked for ID last week and i'm nearly 29. I know in a few years i'll be chuffed looking so young but right now its embarrassing.

Dudess · 23-07-2008 6:51pm

30 - At the moment, people tend to think I'm 23/24.

Red, you seem older all right. You call me "lass" and I remember clearly the year you were born!

That's my thinking also. Everybody else our age will look old and wrinkly but we'll still look sexeh....

hah... I thought I was the youngster of the group that night we were out. Although I was the only one acting mature! New levels of ignorance!!!

R0ot · 23-07-2008 6:53pm

I'm 21 also and people mistake me for 16 some times which is really irritating :mad:

The lass thing just popped out of nowhere when i was about 16. started calling any and every girl it. Teachers never appreciated it.

It's ok here, i can try and be mature, people who know me properly have seen the immaturity shining brightly. This is why me and you can never meet

By the way, the 'grab and spin' is genius.

Never lose the "lass" thing - it's adorable!

Ruu_Old · 23-07-2008 6:58pm

I was 18, she was 17 and walking around Liverpool. I got yelled at by several people to go out with people of my own age and that I was filthy! ;_; Laugh my head off thinking about it now.

no worries lass, never gonna happen

couldn't if i tried anyway

Toto Wolfcastle · 23-07-2008 7:02pm

I'm 22 but I was asked for ID once for a 15s (or 16s or whatever they call them these days) movie. Funnily enough I rarely get asked for ID in pubs.

I'll be glad of it when I'm older I suppose!

Pen1987 · 23-07-2008 7:02pm

I want to be called lass.

Im dont get mistaken for older/younger but Im rarely asked for ID, I'm 21.

Yeah, I'm lucky enough to have inherited my mum's genes - she's in her early 60s and people have mistaken her for being in her 40s.

I'm the same with my Dad. He's 50 but looks about 30. That's where I get my 12 year old looks from.

super_furry · 23-07-2008 7:14pm

I'm going to be 30 in September and I still regularly get asked for ID.

Phlann · 23-07-2008 7:15pm

Mid 20s and I'm always getting asked for ID.

Drink, cigarettes, pubs etc.

Volvoboy · 23-07-2008 7:20pm

One upside to looking older i find is randy 'aul ones;)

35 is the oldest.

Giz a shot of yer knockers:pac:

TeletextPear · 23-07-2008 7:21pm

23 and ive been turned away from my local spar and offie while trying to buy drink loads of times coz i dont have an age card.... like do they really think i look 17, ffs!

Epic Tissue · 23-07-2008 7:21pm

I'm 19. A drag queen told me I looked about 12.. ouch! But yeah I probably do look young.

Mossy Monk · 23-07-2008 7:26pm

People thought I was much older when in my teens/early 20's. Nowadays it doesn't come into conversation.

Im 22..nearly 23...(booo!)....and get mistaken for being older...a fellow boardsie (SHE KNOWS WHO SHE IS!!) thought I was 27...27!!!! 5 years older!

People at work are surprised at my age too

I like to tell myself its because of my maturity

But...I get ID'd for smokes sometimes..and drink in the off license other times...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Oil of Olay time me thinks

elmyra · 23-07-2008 7:33pm

21...get ID'd loads. As the sentiment goes, I'll probably appreciate it in a few years.

mike65 · 23-07-2008 7:36pm

Happy to report I tend to be underestimated chronologically speaking

Mike.

Pepe LeFrits · 23-07-2008 7:40pm

I'm 18 but everyone says I look about 25

mike65 · 23-07-2008 7:47pm

I'm pretty sure we had a similar conversation and I guessed you were 30... perhaps I'm thinking of someone else?

Michellenman · 23-07-2008 7:59pm

I'm 18 and rarely get asked for ID. Since I was about 16/17 I've been getting served easily enough, also helped that I had the mother of all fake ID if I was asked.

I'm happy about this now, doubt I'll be smiling in 10 years time... eep!

Boards mod at 12 - made credibility a bit of a stretch. It was the Counter-Strike board though.

brianthebard · 23-07-2008 8:05pm

I'm commonly mistaken for anywhere between 16 (ok once) and 21.

I'm 29

Thought you were a lot older too - probably cuz of the "women should only wear certain things at certain ages" thread you posted on. Dude - you're not even 23, a child! Wear what the **** you like and bloody well enjoy it, goddammit!

I kinda think if you think of yourself as older, you'll come across as older.

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!

Smegball · 23-07-2008 8:20pm

I'm not too badly off I suppose, 19 usually mistaken for about 17.

taidghbaby · 23-07-2008 8:21pm

24 - people tend to think i'm older!!

oh and my ferrari too :pac:

23-07-2008 8:21pm

I'm 22 yet most people assume that I'm 17 at most. Was asked out by a 16 year old awhile back and had to tell her that I was 22.
