I got carded buying my ticket to see The Matrix - WTF as I am 28!

I went to a 12:30 showing of The Matrix and the young punk working the ticketbooth asked for my ID when I asked for my ticket. The thing that makes this so unusual is that I am 28 years old for the love of God.

I wasn't really pissed as much as I was amused as I have been buying tickets to R rated movies since I was about 12 years old and they finally asked for ID now. I was actually a little flattered as none of my friends were askef for ID and they are all my age.

As for the movie...Confusing it was, but I think I liked it.

I just thought this was a funny moment so I decided to start a thread...feel free to get back to your regularly scheduled threads.

I honestly didn't even know they carded until recently when they had someone outside the actual door into the movie to keep kids out, but they didn't ask me that time.

It was because my cock was hard while I was in line... they said that only adolescent males had that problem.

I enjoyed the movie...I'm purchasing a copy.

They threw every argument, counterargument, philosophy, theory, fantasy, fable, nursery rhyme and treaty they could into it. A bit much to take in all at once. They left something out, though, IMO. But I ain't talking yet until more peeps have had a chance to see it.

Oh, and I didn't get carded at the movie, but I'm always carded at the grocery store. Go figure...

I wouldn't be surprised if I was carded at the door of a club or maybe even buying cigs (as they have such tough laws), but a movie really shocked me as you only need to be 17

I remember buying that when I was 16. The clerk asked me if I was at least 16, and I (truthfully) said yes. I then asked if she needed ID, and she said no. shrug

For some reason, they never ask for ID at the movie theaters here in Indy. shrug Dunno why.

On a somewhat related note... Sunday night we went out to dinner, and I ordered a glass of wine. The waiter asked if he could see my "license"--obviously this was a poorly-phrased request for ID to verify my age. (I wasn't going to drive my car in the restaurant.) I jokingly asked him which license he wanted to see: my license to drive or my license to practice law.

Maybe next time I'll just say I never learned how to drive and offer something like my passport or Maine state identification card.

Nobody can ever guess my age... they either guess too low or too high. You know those carnival games where you win a prize if they can't guess your age within two years? I always win. smile
