What age did you stop getting asked for ID?

bnagrrl · 11-05-2014 01:37PM

I'm 30 and was asked for ID 3 times in the last month.

JohnMearsheimer · 11-05-2014 01:43PM

I'm 30. The last time I was asked for ID I was 28. I was buying a bottle of wine as a small present in Tesco. I didn't have ID so they wouldn't sell it to me. The girl on the counter said to me 'if it makes you feel any better I'm 28 as well'. It didn't. I just went across the road to Dunnes and bought it.

I'm 31, last time I was asked for ID I was 31.

I've never been asked for ID, which is good as I don't have any as when I was young they didn't really exist!

Noticed over the past while, unless its all the stubble on my face, but buying alcohol cigarettes or whatever I rarely get asked for ID, find it somewhat intimidating I'm only 20. :P

I'm 32 and was asked for ID on Friday. Deep down I was so happy!

Legs.Eleven · 11-05-2014 02:50PM

34 and I can't remember the last time I was ID'd.

I was visiting my brother in America last year. He is early 30s, I am late 20s. We went to the off licence. He was buying and paying for alcohol at the checkout. Checkout lady ID'd him. And just because I was with him, she had to ID me too. It's the law, apparently.

So you can't buy alcohol if you have someone under 18 beside you. You'd have to leave your kids in the car!

You poor girl

I think Aldi and Tesco have a general policy to ask everyone unless you look clearly over 50 to cover their arse. I always get asked in those two places, never anywhere else, but I love it since I'm nearly 30. I get a kick out of it so it's win win!

WildRosie · 11-05-2014 05:49PM

I'm 29 and still get asked regularly, was asked twice in the last week in fact. Gives the sales person a great chuckle when they see my ID.

Foxhound38 · 11-05-2014 05:52PM

About 24 or 25 I guess

11-05-2014 06:28PM

23 or so. 25 now.

A friend of mine got ID'd buying a barbecue recently. He's 24.

A fcukin barbecue!

LizT · 11-05-2014 06:39PM

I'm 24, haven't been asked for ID in the past few years, which is good because I'm such a scatterbrain I nearly never have any ID with me!

cactuspaw · 11-05-2014 06:41PM

I still get ID'd all the time. I'm 30. It's most irritating when you go out and certain places are leatle for it. Once got told my passport was a fake.

Was buying alcohol in Tesco a few weeks ago and the girl at the check out asked me for ID. I thought she was joking. She insisted. I was searching for my student ID and babbling away about how she had made my day. Told her I was 40 last September and my son is nearly 20. She eventually believed me, just as I found my student card.

Nope! :P

I got ID'd last week... I'm 35. He then asked me if I had any other photo ID as he wasn't convinced &#55357;&#56835;

Paddy Cow · 11-05-2014 08:16PM

The last time I was asked was three weeks ago. I'm 33.

nails1 · 11-05-2014 08:44PM

They wouldn't serve me at 18 with ID because the girl with me was 17

SilverScreen · 11-05-2014 08:45PM

I'm 27 and I seem get asked for ID every time I buy alcohol in Lidl, Aldi or Dunnes. I just show them my drivers licence and smile at them.

11-05-2014 08:46PM

I'm always asked. I'm 27 and I'm tiny, so that's probably why.

I got asked when I was 27 it was the best day of my life

That was 5yrs ago I no longer get asked now I'm sad

Gerinspain · 12-05-2014 08:40AM

I got asked for ID to buy cigarettes at Walgreens in New Orleans.....I was 52. Didn't know whether to be flattered or annoyed. The cigarettes weren't even for me - I don't smoke

That's spain for ya. Sure they were trying to give me wine in a restaurant when I was with mum there at the age of 14
Compare that to when we went out for dinner here a few years ago and the waiter eyed me up and down then took away the wine glass... should have ordered some on principle

That_Guy · 12-05-2014 10:21AM

I'm 25 and still get asked. Though I find that when I don't have ID on me; those are the times I get asked....

whitewave · 12-05-2014 11:28AM

Got asked over the weekend and I'm 26. Good to know something thinks I still look young when I'm not wearing make-up!

dee_mc · 12-05-2014 11:36AM

I still get asked for it regularly (I'm 28)

A couple of weeks ago i was buying cigarettes and got asked for ID - i had none, so just said 'I'm 28, but thanks for the compliment'. The lady on the till remained stony-faced, told me if i was going to lie i should make it more believable and just say i was 18 or 19, then sold me the cigs anyway!!

What age did you stop getting asked for ID?
