for buying a lotto ticket.

I'm 32 years old and the checker thought that I wasn't yet 18.

Maybe these braces are a keeper!

I only wish there was some sort of opposite thing...for once I don't want people to interrogate me thinking I'm lying about my age whenever I want to go see an R rated movie....I hope it'll get better when the braces come off.

hehe that's awesome that you got carded though!

Sweetness! reminds me. When the ortho assitant went to take impression she was looking over my chart and says, "lets see you are twenty uhhh... oh. wait thirtyyyy two?" So cool.

I was carded for an R movie when I was 26. That was cool, I kept asking why they needed id. The idea it was an R rated movie wasn't clicking. "it's R rated sir.", " yeah? so?" lol

I haven't gotten out enough with these braces I've only had them a day. Looking forward to getting out wit these things more.

I am 32. An orthodontist and a parent. I got carded at the Wedding Crashers last fall. At first I was like, "please lady" then I remebered that at least once a week a perspective patient's parent will ask me "if I'm old enough to be an orthodontist".
I usually say, "no, I am a fraud. I thought being a fake orthodontist was much easier than knocking over banks!" The gray hairs will catch up soon I'm sure.

This is funny. I was just telling my friend that I was thinking about keeping these braces forever because of the "young" factor. Just last week, I was twice accused of being my 15 year old son's sister, and I'm almost 35! It's great!

That was a fear of mine after getting braces! I'm about to turn 21 and feel like the braces make me look 12! I even went and had a new hair style today trying to help me look my age!!

People get carded for R rated movies?? How old are you supposed to be?

You need to be 17 to see it without a parent or guardian. So basically, you would have to be 16 to fail id check. It's like saying, we think you may be 16 or younger.

You try to look older till you really get older.

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!
