This is a riot! I am 36. I look more like 46.... My wife is 33. She looks 23. I wonder if we now look similar in age, or if she still looks like she is with her dad and her dad has braces??!!

I don't do much drinking, but just for fun I think I'll stop at the liquor store for a small bottle of Crown Royal. I haven't been carded in years. And years.

Sounds like fun cept I don't drink. I wouldn't feel right buying smokes, and I doubt I would be carded for an R rated movie. I can't even think of movie I want to see.

I'm 22 (almost 23) and went to a softball game last week. You had to be under 16 to get in for free... the woman at the gate looks at my mum and says "that'll be $10 for you", then looks at me and says "oh, nah nothing for you love".
I couldn't believe it, but hey if it saves me money why not!

I never knew that! I'm 16 and I go see R rated movies with friends occasionaly, I have since I was probably 14, and I've never been asked if I have a parent with me.

Maybe that means when I'm 35 I will be able to get senior citizen discounts!

I'm not surprised. I always looked young for my age. When I was 16 I looked 12. I was also 16 when I went to my first R rated movie. Total Recal with Arnold Swarzenneger. I remember telling my friend. There is no way we can get into that movie. I was scared of getting in trouble or something. To my surprise they sold me a ticket like it was nothing. I do see them cracking down on R rated movies more. Saw a group of teens declined theater tickets. I will say R rated movies have gotten pretty strong, so I rarely see them.

No kidding!

A couple of weeks ago, my mom and I went to this new restaurant. It was actually the second time we had been there though, as we had went a couple of weeks before that, when it had first opened. We wound up having the same waitress as the first time. She remembered us, and I knew it was only because of me because she said, "It's you guys again!" after she saw me. I couldn't figure out why she would remember me, but I found out later that her manager gave her a hard time when he saw her serve me my Chocolate Raspberry Martini last time. The conversation apparently went like this:

M=Manager; S=Server

M: How old is that girl over there?
S: She's in her twenties.
M: There's no way. You should have checked her ID!
S: I did!
M: It has to be fake. There's no way. From now on you need to get people to take them out of their wallets and bend them to make sure they're authentic.
S: Her license isn't fake! Plus, she's here with her mother!
M: She must have some really good genes if it isn't fake....

The manager apparently has made her alter her way of checking ID because of me! That's why she remembered me immediately! I told her that it is not my fault that I look young...I'll be 24 in four months! She replied, "When you're 50 you'll probably only look 30!"

I'm sure I'll appreciate it when I'm 50...but not today!

Meryaten wrote:Still, I just renewed my license, so bearing in mind your story above, I'm probably glad I look well enough over 21 not to be carded - the procedure in WA now has you being given a scruffy little, thin cardboard "temporary license" with your real new one being mailed to you to arrive within a couple of weeks! I can't imagine your restaurant manager being too impressed with that!

In California, they just give you a printout (on regular printer paper) with an ugly black and white print out of your picture stapled to the stupid thing...and you have to keep that for 2-4 weeks! Now -that- is unimpressive!

Actually, come to think of it...I got the paper with a picture stapled to it when I got my temp ID, and when I got my instruction permit....but when I finally passed the road test and got my license, they didn't even give me a print out pic..they confiscated my permit (which had the picture printout) and then I just got the stupid piece of paper!

I was at my Fiance's house and his 13 year old was having a party. One of the parents dropping her kid off came to the front door and asked if any adults were home. I smiled and said "yes, me". She then asked again ARE ANY ADULTS HOME??. It took me a while to realize she was thinking I was another minor because of the braces!!!!

Also:
I went to a Rolling Stones concert and ordered a drink then smiled at the bartender. Immediatley on seeing the braces she carded me. The fact I was at the concert should have told her how old I was!

Its so funny, you guys have all these "they think i'm younger" stories, and its the exact opposite with me, even with the braces!! I'm 14, and i get WOW, you're 14 all the time!! The only thing i hate about it is when older guys hit on me

its funny,once a few guys offered free drinks when i was at a restaurent with my friends. I walked over to their table and told them that i wasnt anywhere near the age they thought that i was (they had to be in their early 20's) and that i had to decline their drinks, because i wasn't near old enough to drink!! They looked at me and laughed and apologized, then they said how old are you19,20? I laughed any said take away about 4 years and that'll be about right, their faces went totally pale with astonishment and embarrassment. The hospitals also ask me to fill out my information and for my license

Then they are like....oh!!!, you're only 14? I just wish that sometime they would guess that i'm MY age.

Just thought that i'd share a few funny moments of my own lolz
Rambling on as usual

P.S i was at a nice restaurent because it was one of my friends 15th b-day, just thought that i would clarify!!
