At 35 still getting.... (NF)

[fishergirl72]

Well I thought my days of getting carded for proof of age was over a long time ago but what happend today showed me I was wrong! LOL Fishindevil and I went and stopped at a local store today and he told me to get 2 packs of smokes and something was telling me to take my purse inside with me, but I just placed it on my seat and went ahead on in. Well when I told the male clerk what I wanted he asked to see some ID! I asked him to repeat himself and when he told me the second time, I asked "are you kidding me"? and he said no.LOL So I left the store and headed to the car to retrieve my purse and Fishindevil asked what was going on and I told him that I was being carded. Well he laughed and said that was a good thing. I went back inside and showed him ID. After I paid for them, I told him that I am going to be 35 next month, and he said that I looked younger then 25 and that is why he carded me. Well I said thanks and I will take that as a compliment and left. I mean I knew and was told that I looked younger than my age but 10 or more years younger? Well needless to say that made my day maybe even my week. At least I know now that my days of be carded are not over just yet!

The 'male' clerk prolly hadn't noticed that your honey was in the car and was just trying to make you feel good. I can still get on the bus at half price.

LOL, but dang making me walked back to the car in that cold just to make me get my ID, he could have said don't worry about it and just let me buy them anyways.LOL

Weird..I got carded today too. I looked at her and said I was 42. She still wanted ID. It was in the car...I was really dumbfounded. I got her to ask a 20 yr old young lady working in the store (the cashier serving me was mid 50's) how old she thought I was.

The 20 yr olds never mistake me for under 25.

Wow Rick that is werid! I guess we should both learn from this and bring our ID in with us.

[Pigeontroller]

If you keep smokin' you won't look under 25 for long....

That's true Pigeontroller. You are right on that one.

[GbayGiant]

I would consider it a compliment, I'm 26 and they never even think of asking me anymore since I was 16 with a fake ID.

[Pigeontroller]

I hear ya, i'm 33 and haven't been asked for ID since I was 15...

 

BTW Fishergirl, 1 week, no Colts. Been tryin' to quit for a year...

[douG]

I'm WAY older and wiser than the both of youse put together, but the best thing is that no-one can tell.

[Rich]

I couldnt tell DouG you look just like a fresh young brookie to me!

[Castmaster]

Must be somethin in the air today cause I got carded for smokes today too> I'm 30.

[Clampet]

I guess we are never happy.

When we are under age, everybody is saying: "No, no, yer too young", so we can't wait to be older. Then when we get older we want to be young (again).

C'est la vie.

How old dod the clerks seeing-eye dog put you at?

[Big Cliff]

Down in Myrtle Beach, four of us, all 60+ at TGIF's and the waitress carded us. (and she actually checked for the birthdate on my license). I thought it was some kind of a joke or promotion or they had a seniors discount or something but no. She said she carded everyone regardless of how old they looked

 

It was good for a laugh!

[Greencoachdog]

I still get carded quite often... but then again, I'm only 23.

[LeXXington]

[Garyv]

Just wait, when your over 60 you'll start telling people that your younger, in fact once over 40 guys start telling women that their in their late 20's or early 30's !
