I recall being 14 and me and a friend turning our school jumpers inside out and buying a load of cider and lager from Netto with the old woman on the till just scanning it through without question in about 2004.
They didn’t sell me alcohol because I didn’t carry an ID when I was 32.
Our Local corner shop would serve us in our school uniform, good old days now they click over 25 soon they see me like please pretend I look younger
I was 15, had my ID checked for a 15 and a PG DVD at Sainsbury’s and I was only allowed to buy the 15. In her own words ‘PG means Parental Guidance so you have to be 16.’
I’ve had people turn me down because they thought my ID was fake. It’s real and I’m 32
That happened to me when I bought the skylanders game which is 7+ PEGI rating. I used to work in a video game retailer so I know that PEGI 3+ and 7+ are not legal age restrictions but guides about content complexity, it’s only when the PEGI rating is orange or red that it becomes a legal age restriction. I was in my 20s and holding my car keys and I was ID’d and frankly it was just irritating.
My wife got asked for ID to buy a lottery ticket in Tesco… on her **45th** birthday! She was both shocked and pleased… didn’t help that me with my greying beard was stood with her looking like her dad (and I’m a few years younger than she is!). The world is truly crazy at times!
I haven’t been ID’d since I was 15. Not sure if that’s good or bad.
Don’t know how you people do it… I’m 36 and last month I had to walk home from Sainsbury’s because I didn’t have my ID on me.
Best ID I ever had was scanning my passport and printing off a 2 the exact same size as my 4 (on 1994). Would then just line it up and sellotape perfectly, never got caught or questioned once and I honestly looked about 12. They would joke and get their friends over and say this guys 18 etc but they always bought it 🤙🏻.
Got checked at 30 for buying a lottery ticket. 🤡
Always got asked for I’d before I was legal as soon as I turned 18 I took my I’d to shop hoping to get asked and didn’t 😂
I got asked for ID at 45.
I’m pretty happy about that, even if I was wearing a face mask, a hat, and the lady was about 90 and wearing the thickest glasses I’d ever seen.
I once got ID for a U rated film when I was 19.
I bought 3 packs of Pro-Plus caffeine pills – they were on special offer at 3 for 2. I was age checked. I was 40.
we used to get our mate tom to dress as his dad, name tag, pens in pocket, suitcase, the lot, worked all the time hahaha
I got IDd for ciggies in the co-op when I was 28. Didn’t have any on me. The only time in my life I asked to see the manager.
I got asked for ID for a sugar free Redbull only last week and I’m 29.
Got denied buying Zoo magazine when I was 20 as apparently my passport wasn’t official ID.
Liar
I once was checked for ID to buy Cider in Norwich.
Cider! In Norwich!
I was 32
I was 30, had a full beard and couldn’t buy a can of strongbow because I didn’t have ID on me.
It made my friends day when she was carded at 31. She was so happy.
I think we shopped at the same Sainsbury’s, in my early 20s I was refused sale of the Minions DVD (U rating) because I didn’t have ID with me.
Now I get suspicious looks off the woman in Sainsbury’s as I ask her to do the ID check on a Red Bull.
I’m 44.
I used to buy alcohol with a fake id at 13, the name on it was Ben Dover. There was this one off-licence where the owner was like 70-80 years old.
I was late 30s when someone asked me for ID going into a concert. I was shocked. She said “only joking” and laughed.
Thanks.
I always looked older and could walk into an office license at 16 and not be asked frequently
Couple of times I ran into school friends with their parents buying booze
Had to give them the shhh finger over the lips
I got served when I was 15 onwards because I was a lanky lass with a strong jaw line and already apparent frown lines, so I used to get my house keys in my hand and shake them about as I walked around the shop browsing (always put some sunglasses on too). I’d always try and buy drink that wasn’t deemed as fodder for teenagers (ie a nice bottle of Rose instead of Cactus Jacks or Barnstormer).
Looking old enough @ 15/16/17 is all fine and well until you get to my age now and you don’t get the compliment of being asked for ID, except when I tried to collect a hedge trimmer from B&Q last year and they jobswotth behind the till thought I was an axe wielding murderer or something. Why would anyone 18 or under think a wired hedge trimmer was a practical murder weapon 🙂
There was one guy in my school who had a full beard at the age of 14 so buying alcohol was never an issue
I’ll do you one worse and this is actually retarded like…what?!
few years ago now when the first my little pony human movie came out i went down local shop to buy it for my little sister(whose entire room is covered in that stuff)
me who was 19 at the time (no id yet at the time cos mail strike and delays) gets asked for ID…for a 3 rated film…I don’t particularly look young either, full beard by 17, and grays all over…I do not look young by any means I’m only 25 and most of my friends on appearance alone assume I’m late 30s…I’m currently 25…so thats a rip.
but the woman at the counter asked me for id for a 3 rated film what the actual fuck?
