Tesco was it? You could be 100 and they'd still ask you for ID

Bad Panda

Asking anyone for id who is clearly past a certain age is just stupid.

Like, yeah you might get a 23yo who looks 17. But you dont get a 31yo who looks 17 :P

I was able to walk into an offy at 16 and buy a bottle of Jack, no bother.

I was often mistaken for 23 when I was 17.
It's the best thing ever when you get into clubs no bother and you're the biggest man going but fuck me does it hit you like a brick wall on your 18th!

Miss Lockhart

I'm ID'd everywhere and I'm 29. Tesco is particularly bad though - and Lidl.

I'm often asked for ID. I'll be sad when it stops!

fkt

I'm 18 and I occasionally don't get asked! Now THAT is embarrassing.

It's worse when I have a guy who wants to bang me before he finds I'm ten years younger than he thought :rolleyes:

Yakult

Wouldn't give a **** tbh. At least it shows they are doing their job and not serving 16 year old kids.

I got caught on a night out once, didn't bring my I.D and was gonna be left alone in a town I wasn't familiar with, while my mates went into the nightclub. Approached a member of the AGS and told her the situation. She was nice enough to confirm I was over 18 to the bouncers and they let me in. Sound!

jd007

Couldn't give a shíte as long they give me the beer!

Larianne

Depends how old you are and how much you want the drink!

Kurz

Happens to me and I'm 30. I don't mind it but it písses me off when they're reluctant to accept my driver's license that I've had for ten years because it's not an "age card". I don't even think they were around when I was 18.

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

Having to get a Garda ID at 29 is a pain. You can consider me not grown up if you like.

Yes you can threaten to eat their children and stamp on their village.

If you grow a beard no body asks you for ID. Face hair is actually made out of pure manliness.

This is not true. I'm ahem very close to the age you listed and I get asked all the time. It's such an embarassment now at this stage. Men never ask me, it's always the 'wans', even 'wans' I'm much older than :mad:

Wan day when I got asked (I was ATTEMPTING) to get my fags,
I obviously had no ID (because I'm older than 18 and don't need my passport stolen thanks) I went to the lengths of producing the almost empty packet I had in my bag as desperate 'proof'..."Ah sher they're smokin at nine now, aren't they!" fúkin hag!

What? Seriously! OMFG!

I don't have a drivers licence (well I have but I just don't bother) but to know this? They won't accept it? That's just being a cúnt now!

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

Tombi!

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

StupidLikeAFox

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

JohnMearsheimer

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.

Jimoslimos

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?

kylith

I was IDed the other day in the UK. I was rather chuffed cos I've just turned 30

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.

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!

Duggy747

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

Rich11

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

Diapason

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