That's a good thing man.

You'll miss your youthfulness when it's gone. Trust me!

I've been mistaken for a housewife three times this year so far.
Once by another woman! Sob!

You'd think the freckles would though them off in the other direction.

I'd like to think I look my age.

Red, you seem older all right. You call me "lass" and I remember clearly the year you were born!

It's a term of endearment Dudess; better than being called an auld dohll at home don't you think? :pac:

Doubt it, I'm already going grey.

Hopefully I'll be a classy looking grey haired bloke.

I look very young, constantly getting approached by men offering sweets and a ride in their van.

cance

geminilady

people always think im older than i am, 2 people thought i was the eldest in my family, actually the youngest.!

Im only 18! i cant look that old! i reassure myself its because of my maturity! but even my sister said to me this morning, i look way older than 18! that was a great thing to hear!lol

I'm generally bearded, but every time I shave I get ID'd.

It's not fun being ID'd when you're 25!

Red, call people lass all you want, but drunken switch 360 kicks should be dropped.

I had a big bruise on my wrist for a week!

You lot made me do it! i wanted to get food!

No it was before food. The bouncer was still there asking us to stay quiet.

Oh no that wasn't directed at you specifically

In fairness, if you have a child you have to grow up a lot. My mate had a baby at 19 and another baby last year and even though she's 25, she's still a lot older than I and my other 29/30-year-old mates...

24 - normally people think I'm my age, but I was ID'd for booze in Tesco a month ago.

shane86

Right.

Lad in the offy there asked me for my ID and, upon looking at it, gave an almost surprised "hmm, fair enough!" look and served me.

At a funeral a few weeks ago, a friend of the family asked me was I married (i.e she must have assumed I was 27 plus)

My age difference record dates from when I was 18 (nearly 19) and she was 25. When the subject came up back at her gaff I claimed to be going on 24

Prior to that was 17 and 22. She probably tweaked when I avoided going to a pub with her the next day that I knew from prior experience Id be thrown out of as soon as I was spotted, didnt bother contacting her again.

Same pub used to serve all my mates yet the manager was always wise to me. Went in the Saturday after turning 18, ID in pocket, walk up to same guy and ask for a pint of Bud (there had been nobody on the door either.)
Pours, requests money, transaction completed No ID demand. This lad had put me out while I was drinking a pint of water (didnt want to waste a half drank beer as I knew he would see me eventually) with two underage mates who were drinking beer a few weeks previously as it was after 9pm, and yet it was if I suddenly looked 18?

People in work assume anywhere between 19 and 26.


Id guess myself as 23.

There you go. If Crimeline ever issue a description of a suspect as being aged between 17 and 29 yis can rat away

truecrippler

People my age seem to always nail it. But older women always think I'm about 15/16. Bummer, considering I like the older woman, so I do.

marti101

Im 35 and when im in wok it comes up how old are you and i say 35 and they say you dont look it,makes me feel good.My second son is starting secondary and i was up for the meeting and she turned around and said you cant be kiefers mother you look to young.That made my day even now thinking it makes me smile.It could be worse i could look older.

Come on man! That's just an older chick trying to be all "You're too young for me"! She obviously wouldn't think your 15/16 (assuming you've been chatting her up in a pub/club).

Come up with a funny rebuttle and engage in conversation again!

Creamy Goodness

22 often get mistaken for 24/25 in work. people think i have experience

once got mistaken for a 20 year old and was quite chuffed, she knows who she is lol.

TeletextPear

i was down home a couple of months ago, getting ready to go out, and my mother told me i could pass for 16.... was not pleased :mad:

Cravez

Im 21 and get constantly told that im not 21 and that im a liar . They always say i look older, probably because of my build or just i probably do look older!

sam34

28 (almost 29) but regularly get told i look too young to be in my job, really annoys me

Creamy Goodness

shouldn't annoy you if you're a hooker, it will give ya more time on the street.

eamoss

Im 20 and get mistaken sometimes for 22/23 not to big at all but when I was 16 it was a different story got 21 a good few times. Which was great for getting into nightclubs and pubs. Think that was down to me having facial hair at a young age.

Not if you live near any priests.

DJ_Spider

I'm 42 but look younger. I have been asked for ID since I have moved to Ireland. I even had a mate in the UK who thought I was only 30, but I told him he came to my 30th birthday party! Too many beers I guess.

COH

When I was 21 I was asked if i was 27/28, which annoyed me. Now I'm 25 and I get asked for I.d for cigarettes! When I unleashed my passport the guy in the shop asked if it was real and then started laughing.

connundrum

I'm 24 with an average guessed age of 32.

Not too surprising seeing as I'm shaving since I was 13.

Apparently the difference between when I'm scruffy/unshaven and shaven is around 5 years. Who woulda thunk

Michellenman

Was sitting outside the local shops with my two cousins, aged 6 and 3 eating ice cream and two auld ladies walked by and commented on how lucky '' you two boys are to be able to sit and have an ice cream with your mammy!!'' before wandering off on their way!

I'm only 18!! I'd have had to have had a baby at 12?!

Pigwidgeon

hmm am i the only person on this thread thats under 18...
am 17 now... people my age always tell me i look older but if i ever try and get served or into gigs or whatever am always id'd... haven't tried in the last month or two though.

I'm due to catch up soon, and at that point I'll start getting younger again. (I think thats how it works anyway).

connundrum wrote:

Yep I know that one. Since I've been about 20 I always got the 30's bit. Now I'm 41, I still do. So not too bad. I've been the same age for decades. To the point when I needed a photo for my passport two years ago, being lazy I just posted in two of me at 23. Which is either good or just means I'm stuck in fashion hell.

Looby_Loo

I am 27 and consistantly get mistaken for someone of about 20. I have been doing my job 6 years and people still ask if I am a student

Are you a student?

Sofaspud

I'm 20, and pretty much everyone that finds this out gets shocked and says "I would've thought you were about 25" including many boardsies at the last beers, and a guy in work who I knew for months before he found out.

I'd never have guessed...

Sparky

22 yrs old.

Non shaven - dont get ID'd in 90% of places

Shaved - Get asked everywhere. Even told I looked 17.

Suppose I'll enjoy the complements when I hit 30.

UnitedIrishman

19 close to 20, but constantly ID'd everywhere I go. You don't mind it so much when you first turn 18 because you think you're mighty with our new fangled ID. Now it's just plain annoying. But alas, hopefully when I'm old and decrepid I'll still have my looks.

Mark2229

im 17 and people mistake me for 13...15 at the oldest :eek:.It gets really annoying when im going to the cinema and get ask what age i am when im going to a 15A

but i suppose when im 40 and look 30 il be happy about it..but at the moment its just embarrisin

Mark, that is so cute!!

Sofaspud, you do look about 25. No joke.

I'm 21 but about the same height as a 12 year old

When I was a 1 year old my sister was pushing me down our street in the pram, and an aul fella passing by told her she had a beautiful son. My sister was 12.

He was right about me being beautiful though.

kittensoft1984

24 and people think I look like I'm 19!!!

Not a bad thing though...only when I am trying to get into night clubs without ID

jester77

30 but people think I'm 23/24 and I suppose acting 17/18 doesn't help. Some day I'll grow up

sunalishine

I've been mistaken for my younger sister on several occasions, even by my neighbours - she's 18, i'm 26.
I haven't been ID'd in a while, but get asked fairly regularly - got ID'd buying cigarettes in Belfast about 2 years ago, and you only have to be 16 to buy them there... :eek:
I don't mind though, it used to bother me but the older i get the more i appreciate being mistaken for someone a lot younger!!:p

dee8839

I'm 20, my sister turned 18 this week. For the last year whenever she wanted to go to a club I'd have to give her my ID just in case, but she was rarely if ever asked, then I'd go up and be asked, every time, and she'd have to sneak out "to the ATM" or similar to give me my own ID back. So basically my 17 year old sister looks older than I do. Great.

I think you know you're getting older the day you stop being p!ssed off at a bouncer who IDs you and start thanking him!!:)
