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

    Exactly, I asked a girl buying drink for ID the last day and she had a face on her like a bag of cats. She started laughing and said "are you serious!?" and rolled her eyes up and was muttering and giving out as if I had done something wrong.

    She was 24 but looked 12.
    I made sure not to say thanks when giving her change:P

    Went into the usual place to buy drink.
    Met with a new girl who asked me for I.D. After about 10 seconds of an intense stare on my face one of the other girls walked by and asked what the problem is and I asked "why am I being asked for ID". To which I learned "she's new and isn't used to your ugly mush" and all was well.
    I was 19 at the time :o

    If it was tonight everywhere is asking for ID because its results night.

    I'm 28 and Tesco wouldn't sell me wine a few days ago because I had no ID. I told the girl at the counter I was 28 and all she said was ya, I'm 28 too like it was meant to make me feel better. There's no way she could have confused me with someone under 18. I went across the street to Dunnes and got the wine no bother.

    Hasn't happened in awhile :(

    What I never understand are signs like;

    "Over 18? If you look under 21 you may be asked to produce ID"

    WTF? How does that even make sense? So I look over 18 but under 21, how do you go about making such a subjective judgement on a three year age difference?

    One word - JOBSWORTHS.

    I think if someone says they are 30 and don't have any ID on them, the shop assistant should ask them questions about 80's cartoons/tv shows.

    What was the name of evil dude in Thundercats?
    What were the Rescue Rangers chipmunks called?
    What day of the week was Fun House on?
    What was Inspector Gadgets niece called?
    Name the tv show where the boy turns into a dog.

    4/5 questions right means they pass.

    I think you're the drunk and underage one! I asked you "what do I win" and you say "no"?

    Someone can't handle the drink and it's not me! :P

    Typical drunk, trying to correct their drunken behaviour.
    But here's a nightmare: when you wake up tomorrow you still have to live with the fact you made a drunken mess of yourself on Boards!

    Rarely get asked for ID and even when I do, I look nothing like my picture. :pac:

    Last time I got asked was about 2 years ago in Dunnes after I did my shopping and went to the other counter to get some fags. Girl asked me for ID, I stared at her puzzled since I had a 2 bags of food in one hand and a pack of beer under the other arm.

    A woman behind me goes: "Ara' for fúck sake, does he look like a fúckin' child to you? Look at the size of him!!"

    Still had to produce the ID, though. I take it as more of a compliment on my youthful looks :D

    happened today and i was raging after it.
    poped out of work today to buy a packet of smokes, in a shop in temple bar square, which has 2 entrances and 2 tills, so walked around in my chef gear, now iv been buying smokes, beer, vodka, everything no props. didnt have any id, rarely carry it unless im going out somewhere, so went to the till and the guy who has served me loads of times, seen my id knows im 22, wouldnt serve me:eek:. why cause his manager was standing close by. said to him u served me loads of times, he said yeah but i didnt have id this time.
    so i was like grand, walk down to the other till and get em who was there.................... a new guy:( who wouldnt serve me either, so pissed off, more so i was in my work gear,
    was going to ask the first guy again on the way out but just wasnt arsed:o
    so that my quick "smoke" break over and no smoke

    Anyone who asked me for ID these days would be taking the piss. Anyway, I'd just show them my back hair.

    eh, why?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,382 ✭✭✭petes

    No idea. Would have though it would be the other way around if it was to do with age!!

There's no way she could have confused me with someone under 18. I went across the street to Dunnes and got the wine no bother.

    I was asked in Tesco last Christmas. I had two of my children with me. I didn't have any ID to hand so told them my age B]39[/B but the cashier refused to budge. So I just left all the beer on the checkout and walked out. Got the same stuff in Dunnes across the road without any problems.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,916 ✭✭✭shopaholic01


    I'd think it was pretty cool if I was asked for ID:p.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,453 ✭✭✭Shenshen


    A guy getting asked for i.d when buying beer... would you be chuffed or angry?

    I'd laugh. And then see what ID I might have on me to prove that I'm well into my 30s.

    Be better to ask something like:

    "Jaysus do you remember Moonlighting on tv, that Cybil Shephard, what a bird eh?"

    "Oh yeah, I cracked a few off to her in my time alright the mucky minx!"

    "There you go sir, there's your drink, ID won't be necessary!"

    Will also work for Jamie Lee Curtis tits in Trading Places, Princess Leia in her bikini in Return of The Jedi or Beverley D'Angelo's boobs in National Lampoon's Vacation :pac:
