I'll remember to used that line

If I go out to a bar all the time, If I am in the store with my kids no:| They see all the boys and probably feel that I need the wine

Very rarely anymore... unfortunately.

I don't have enough hair left to be carded.

ThreadBare said:

OMG!! I got carded there today too

It's their policy to check IDs now. I almost flipped, the first time they did it.

I was about to get all Samuel L. Jackson on 'em...



Then, when I saw them check other folks, I cooled off.

On a somewhat related note....

When I was 21, I went out to dinner with my grandmother (about 80 at the time). Both of us ordered a glass of wine. The server first checked my ID, and then she said something to the effect of:

"When I was trained, they told me that as a matter of professionalism, if I need to check one person's ID, I'm supposed to check the ID's of everyone at the table. I hope you won't be offended if I break that rule."

Fortunately, my grandmother has a good sense of humor.

In some states, you have to be 21 to enter a bar (or the bar area of a restaurant). That's how it is here in Washington state. Other states, like Massachusetts, will allow people under 21 to enter the bar area of a restaurant... they just can't be served adult beverages.

Perhaps the oddest rule is the one they have in Oregon. I was down there on business, and according to a sign on the door to the hotel bar, under-21's can enter a bar only if they're with a spouse over 21. How do they verify whether someone is married to another person, especially if the wife didn't change her name?

last time I was asked for ID I was 28


those were the days

Spooky I wouldnt serve you in an Off Licence untill you showed me id as there is a 2 grand fine for serving under age drinkers and smokers. And did you know they are putting up the age to buy ciggys to 18 in October.


When I worked in an Off Licence I went out with the manager who went ot another Off Licence to buy some smokes and was asked for i they where most put out by that.

you smoke?

ArielB said:

not everyday, but yeah. i stopped for about nine months this year and then couldn't be bothered caring anymore.

Spookymuffin said:

Here in Washington state, driver's licenses and state ID cards are printed in a vertical format if you're under 21:


and a horizontal format if you're over 21:


I've never quite understood why they need to scrutinize my date of birth, since the horizontal layout of my license should make it clear immediately that I'm over 21.

I got carded once trying to buy a lotto ticket.

JustErin said:

so you weren't allowed?

Depends on if I'm somewhere that actually cares, which is hard to find in KY. Typically Alex gets carded first, and they see he's 30, and then they don't bother any one else at our table.

ZombieKitten said:

Eventually.

I always get what I want eventually.

JustErin said:

I have never bought a lottery ticket

no wonder I've never won

ZombieKitten said:

I don't play very often. I'm not that lucky.

JustErin said:

I once got a run of green lights, lucky eh

JustErin said:

it has to be the dumbest thing to be carded for.

i remember having to sign for something forget what and the guy didnt want to let me without proof of age hes like "yeh just making sure man..theres some big 16 years olds out there"

Nope, I look like I need a shave even if I've had one!

I got carded last Saturday night! I was the only one out of 6 of us!

Yes, I do I am 37 years old let tell you it get old.I try going to
same places that way they don't keep asking for ID.
