Today, I was asked for ID to purchase decorative scissors. I was buying them to make my wedding decorations. FML
Collection
College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, I had to show my ID to prove I was over 18. I was buying teaspoons. FML
Today, I was shopping with my husband. At the self-checkout, one of the items I was buying for him as a gift didn’t register. As we were walking out, I get stopped and escorted to the loss prevention office, where I was accused of stealing. FML
Today, I cut myself with child-proof scissors. FML
Today, I went to buy some Ibuprofen and got asked for ID. You have to be over 16 to buy it. I'm 25. FML
Today, I tried to buy a bottle of wine from the supermarket. The scrawny, acne-ridden kid at the checkout asked to see my ID. I didn't have any on me, since I'm 37 years old and didn't expect to be asked stupid questions. I complained to his manager, only to be asked to leave. FML
Today, I bought a small bottle of liquor to share with my husband to celebrate our move. It took three hours at the store as the cashier, manager, GM, and a police officer checked my ID believing it was fake. I'm 25. FML
Today, I went to the store with my girlfriend. She needed to use the bathroom so I started looking at the books. It wasn't until the manager shot me a weird look that I realized I'd wandered down too far and was looking at bridal magazines, holding tampons, dog treats, and hair spray. FML
Today, I got a change of ID. My old ID had its corner cut off and was given a temporary paper ID. I went to a bar in another town to have some drinks. Turns out I couldn't because they couldn't use my old ID or my temporary one to let me drink, even though I'm 22. I've been there before and I work at my town's liquor store. FML
Today, I tried buying alcohol for the first time. I have a baby face, so I had my ID ready. The store owner admitted that my ID looked real enough, but he wouldn't believe it wasn't just an elaborate fake. He very nearly called the cops on me. FML
Today, I had to ask one of my coworkers if we were supposed to return a client's teeth to her. I work at a jewellery store. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Girl I feel you, one time I was carded when trying to buy Elmer’s glue. I’m a teacher.

I had the exact same reaction. Sometimes I really don't get people.

It is a good murder weapon. You have to get a background check to get a gun, the least you can do for decorative scissors is an ID.

Is this an American thing that minors can't buy scissors?

Recently I was asked to show my ID to the cashier lady at the supermarket because I was buying alcohol. I am 30 years old, I have a big beard, and a baby. Initially I thanked her for the compliment but then I realized she was not joking....lol

I get you. I'm 18 and I was carded for buying a blouse. The cashier guy asked me if I could show him where my parents were. 😂 Apparently he was not joking 😂
