    Tesco was it? You could be 100 and they'd still ask you for ID

    Asking anyone for id who is clearly past a certain age is just stupid.

    Like, yeah you might get a 23yo who looks 17. But you dont get a 31yo who looks 17 :P

    I was able to walk into an offy at 16 and buy a bottle of Jack, no bother.

    Being a giant has its advantages.

    He gets lots of attention from 19 year old gurls

    I was often mistaken for 23 when I was 17.
    It's the best thing ever when you get into clubs no bother and you're the biggest man going but fuck me does it hit you like a brick wall on your 18th! :(

    I'm ID'd everywhere and I'm 29. Tesco is particularly bad though - and Lidl.

    I'm 18 and I occasionally don't get asked! Now THAT is embarrassing.

    It's worse when I have a guy who wants to bang me before he finds I'm ten years younger than he thought :rolleyes:

    Wouldn't give a **** tbh. At least it shows they are doing their job and not serving 16 year old kids.

    I got caught on a night out once, didn't bring my I.D and was gonna be left alone in a town I wasn't familiar with, while my mates went into the nightclub. Approached a member of the AGS and told her the situation. She was nice enough to confirm I was over 18 to the bouncers and they let me in. Sound!

    Depends how old you are and how much you want the drink!

    Happens to me and I'm 30. I don't mind it but it písses me off when they're reluctant to accept my driver's license that I've had for ten years because it's not an "age card". I don't even think they were around when I was 18.

    If getting asked for ID bothers you, then you havent grown up yet and deserve to be asked!

    Having to get a Garda ID at 29 is a pain. You can consider me not grown up if you like.

    Yes you can threaten to eat their children and stamp on their village.

    If you grow a beard no body asks you for ID. Face hair is actually made out of pure manliness.

    This is not true. I'm ahem very close to the age you listed and I get asked all the time. It's such an embarassment now at this stage. Men never ask me, it's always the 'wans', even 'wans' I'm much older than :mad:

    Wan :) day when I got asked (I was ATTEMPTING) to get my fags,
    I obviously had no ID (because I'm older than 18 and don't need my passport stolen thanks) I went to the lengths of producing the almost empty packet I had in my bag as desperate 'proof'..."Ah sher they're smokin at nine now, aren't they!" fúkin hag!

    What? Seriously! OMFG!

    I don't have a drivers licence (well I have but I just don't bother) but to know this? They won't accept it? That's just being a cúnt now!
    One word - JOBSWORTHS.
