27 years old and asked if over 18

The Jammy dodger

Get this. I'm 27 years old. I go in to the local Dunne Stores to buy a bottle of weight watchers wine and four cans of larger. I approach the checkout and this girl is looking at me funny. I can read peoples faces so I know she is going to ask if I am over the age of 18. and waddya know? she says '' Are you over 18?'' I'm like ''Yes I'm 27 but thanks for the compliment''. I mean what kind of under 18 year old buys a bottle of weight watchers wine and four cans of larger? Some party that would be LOL:rolleyes:



So have you ever been well over the age for buying alcohol and entering clubs and people asking you for ID?

Sky King

I'm 29 and have been ID'd 3 times in the last month.

I don't care. Why are you typing in bold btw?

It was typing in bold. Then I tried to take it off and it wouldnt come off. Perhaps a glitch in the site?

RGDATA!

yes, but i've never thought it particularly remarkable

I was always asked up until I was well into my late twenties.

Take some advice from Patrick Bateman, also 27.


"...I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older."

Weight watchers have wine now?

BunShopVoyeur

Eh, option for being over 25 and not asked for ID?

Under 18 and I've only been asked in Tesco.

TeddyTedson

I used to get asked for Id all the time until i was about 23. Absolutely hated it. It's really embarrassing for a man to be asked for ID when with his friends. Girls would like it because they like to look young. But for a man looking young doesn't = good looking.
No I always have stubble so I never get asked really and I look my age even if I shave.
Although a bouncer did ask me my age a while back and when I told him he felt really stupid:D

You should have gone for four cans of smaller. She'd have probably let you away with that. :pac:

I assume the bottle of weight watchers wine is to help you slim and the bottles of larger to help you get fatter again. ;);)

I'm 32 in a couple of months and I was asked for ID last night. It makes me happy

Kevin Duffy

Weight watchers wine? What a fúcking sham, on all sides the dice. Never mind your age, maybe you should have your head checked for buying it.

Jimoslimos

What I never understand are the signs stating "If you look under 21 please do not be offended if we ask you for proof of age......"

How the fcuk does one look under 21 - is there some physical facial change that occurs between the ages 20-21?

On the plus side I'm no longer offended if someone asks me for proof of age now:o

Tayla

You think that's bad?

I brought my little one to see Santy yesterday, went with my mother and she went up to pay and the woman thought that I was a child aswell!

I'm 24

I always get asked for ID so i'm used to it but that was ridiculous

Teyla Emmagan

Bunch of show offs!

You are, you're your Mother's child. How did you manage to have a child of your own and not spot this basic fact??

I used to get annoyed when i was asked for id to buy alcohol, now that im older i get annoyed when im not asked!

admiralofthefleet

im 31 this february coming and i got asked in aldi on friday if i was over 18 when i was buying whiskey

LighterGuy

Im 26, nearly 27.
I hardly get asked for it, but got asked a few times in the last year or two. I aint baby-faced or anything like that. So its a bit silly asking.

However getting asked for id is one thing, but upon telling them your age and they still dont sell you alcohol? ... thats taking the piss.

Gareth2011

I dont drink so cant comment on the drink thing but I try to keep my stuble or goatee to look older. Im 30 years of age and if I go somewhere and they have seen my wife but havent seen me and she talks to them afterwards they say to her your son was in :eek:. She is only 33 but because if im clean shaven I look 12. Its bloody horrible I tell ya.

JohnMearsheimer

I'm 27 and haven't been asked in a good while. My most embarrassing id was when I went grocery shopping with a female friend once. We both would have been 23 at the time but I was a few months older than her. We were walking around Tesco in Cardiff and they were handing out free samples of some kind of new Baileys. My friend got one no problem but the lady handing them out wouldn't give me one without id

it's always the women who ask the lads for ID isnt it? Men Haters

Skylinehead

Regularly asked for ID buying skins. Can they actually stop you buying them, I mean they're bits of paper :mad:

Arawn

jesus I really can't think of the last time I was asked for an id and I'm only 23!!

Greenmachine

Terrible poll. Where is the I am under 18 and never asked for ID, never mind under 25 and not asked.
All your poll will tell you is if respondent are over or under 25.

Siuin

I'm 21 and got IDed when I went to buy scratch cards for my mom - I literally started laughing, but they were deadly serious and I had to leave empty handed!
A few days later, bought a bottle of smirnoff from the same place. Not a fuck was given.

unkymo

I'm 31 and I get stopped now and then for ID which I never have. Got asked for it last week when I was buying a pack of tobacco.

I was out in Cork a few months ago when I got stopped for ID which I didn't have so they didn't let me in. 5 minutes later my 17 old sister walked in without any problems!

saa

Ah here I don't take it personally a lot of people behind counters see 50 and upwards customers a day, day after day. It must get difficult to judge and some people in their late 20s early 30s just look a little juvenile, once you're over 35 you can start being shocked and appalled.

I did see an 29 year old being asked for ID who obviously could pass for 30 something but I just thought here its an almost knee jerk reaction. But there are some employee's that must get some power rush from being an ass about the ID thing for someone who obviously isn't 17..

but anywho I could be wrong about the 35+ don't worry about being asked for ID as this woman is 38 (you go girl)

later12

That's a shit poll.

I'm 25, haven't been asked for ID in about 3 years
:mad:

Nearly 27 and no one ever believes what age I am, most think I'm about 17.

Crap poll btw.

Kojak

I was never asked for ID, even when I was about 14 - looked about 30.

Now much use nowadays though.....

G.muny

I am 25 and am always delighted when I get asked for id. Take it as a compliment

If I'm asked these days, which is rare, it does tend to be places like aldi.

Snowie

i get id'd when I'm clean shaven but never when I've got stubble.....
im 30 :eek:

Here in the states ( Phoenix Arizona , and earlier in Portland Oregon ) , it doesnt matter how old you are , no ID no alcohol , you cannot get into a bar here without photo ID showing your age , if you dont have any , it doesnt matter if your old and grey , your still not getting in.

The same goes for restaurants , if you order alcohol , you need photo ID , otherwise your stuck with soft drinks!

Its the law here.

orchidsrpretty

I'm 28 and have had to leave my drink behond on many occasions due to the fact that some places won't accept a driving license as proof of age and I'm not going to carry around my passport. very annoying and embarrssing. I've also been refused smokes many times for the same reason:(

mark17j

I always get asked for ID everytime I visit the USA, one time I forgot my ID and I had to sit and drink effin lemonade on a night out, I pleaded with the bar man telling him I was 28..he wasn't having any of it.. The slaggins I got. suppose I was lucky they let me stay, it was out of town place, and really nowhere better to go. Never get asked for it here.

shadowcomplex

Im 33 and was asked for ID just a few months ago in Tesco buying a bottle of wine when I was 32, I was fair thick that day, scaby ol cow looked like she was having a bad day so decided to have a power trip and refuse to serve me

Wrong, I was in Phoenix, (actually it was Tempe) at a bar, and forgot my ID and they let me stay but they only served me soft drinks.

America is crazy for ID checking. I was in an off licence in Boston and while I was there they were ID'ing a man who was easily in his 60's

hairyslug

Im 32 and was asked for id when i was on my stag night earlier in the year, when they found out how old i was the doormen bought me a drink

MyKeyG

I'm 30 and I was recently asked in ASDA in Bangor. The funny thing is it was a case of beer and she scanned it, put security tape on it and I seemed to be in the clear. Then she heard my accent and said 'I'll have to ask for ID'. It stank of sectarianism I tells ya:D I didn't have ID because I don't have a drivers license and I didn't expect I'd need my passport.

flanders1979

I worked in a bar in Boston in 99, my boss told me to card the ladies even if my better judgement told me they were easily over 21. He reckoned it would flatter them and the purse strings would be loosened. Most ladies were delighted.

I get asked for i.d. definitely when clean shaven, not all the time when I've still got the beard. I'm 30 and am regularly mistaken for being an 18-23 year old.

Same as my boyfriend he was once told he's just growing a beard to look older, ahaaaa. People think he's 22-24, some people think I'm 5 years younger some think im five years older its not a moral good or bad thing being young is fine being older is fine :rolleyes:
