Today, as a bartender was carding my friends, I excitedly asked if he was going to card me. The guy gave me a blank stare before finally replying, "Look, lady, I don't have time to stroke some middle-aged woman's ego." I asked because it was my birthday. I just turned twenty-one. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I went to a bar to celebrate my 26th birthday. I got ripped off by the bartender all night because she secretly gave me non-alcoholic versions of my drinks. Apparently I look like I'm 16, so she thought my ID was fake. Happy birthday to me. FML
Today, I went to the bar to celebrate my friend's birthday party. I gave the bouncer my ID and he kicked me out, saying that I should at least use an ID card with the correct gender. I'm 22 and female, he thought I was an underage boy. FML
Today, my friends and I went out for drinks. I'm the only one who's actually 21 or over, and they have fake IDs. Not only was I the only one to be carded, the bartender thought that my actual ID was fake. I got kicked out while my friends kept drinking. FML
Today, I finally turned 21, so my friends and I decided to go to a club. There, I met this hot waitress and we were really hitting it off. I ordered a drink. She replied, "No problem, kiddo." FML
Today, a cute thirty-ish chick walked into the bar I work in. I asked her for her license to make her feel young. She didn't have her license on her and started yelling about how stupid it was to even ask, when she obviously was old enough to drink. She then got up and left. FML
Today, it was my birthday, and even the person who seemed excited about me finally turning 21 and can legally drink forgot. Guess who got drunk alone tonight? This guy. FML
Today, while buying drinks, the cashier immediately refused me and said, “Don’t even bother showing me your ID, you’re obviously 12." I’m 31. FML
Today, it's my birthday and my friends and I went to our favorite pub to celebrate. As I'm a little broke at the moment, they all offered to buy me birthday drinks. Which I later learned meant that they would order them for me and bring them to the table, but put everything on my tab. FML
Today, I got mugged on the way to my 21st birthday party at a bar. I begged the thug to at least throw me my ID, only to have him laugh and run away singing, "Happy Birthday." FML
Today, it's my birthday. My best friend called me at work and offered to take me out to lunch. When he went to pay for the meal, his card was declined so I told him not to worry and that I would pay for the birthday meal. He looked at me and said, "It's your birthday?" He was serious. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

He probably said it ironically, knowing it would piss you off. He's probably tired of being asked to card people.

# 39/52: Grow up. You are the psychotic one. Stop whining and complaining like you're 3 years old--everyone's jobs are "stressful and suck", EVERYONE'S. That's why they flock to bars, to relax and forget about their crappy jobs, not to be insulted by the guy taking their money and MAKING A DRINK. I would say being a bartender is one of the easiest jobs out there, relatively speaking, so drop the sense of entitlement. I'm not #19, but I would do exactly what she proposed, and I would be completely within my rights to do so. If you're a bartender, you're in the service industry, and you are being paid to service your customers, so do it and do it well. Otherwise, find other work and leave your job to someone who is capable of not pissing off the people paying him.

#19, I think you're taking this situation more seriously than the poster, lol. A lot of us live in a America, whose first amendment includes freedom of speech. If I think you're ugly, I'll say you're ugly.

sorry, but I had a mega laugh at this one! :) but, yeah, I'm not totally convinced it's even possible to look >40 when you're 21, unless you use a lot of make-up I suppose...

#55 Seriously you think that bartending is the easiest job? I'd like to see you memorize a bunch of recipes of at least 50 drinks and be able to have the personality to go to every person at the bar you work at and make sure all 20-30 people are happy and then be able to keep up with what everybodys drinking. What makes you qualified to say that bartending is one of the easiest jobs?

Wow, what a jackass. If I were a bartender I would be super nice to everyone (except when they were acting like tools and need to be kicked out.) I would think you make better money that way. But then again, it may be different than being a waitress.

as someone who has many pals a bartenders...it is annoying when young people are at a bar. especially on their 21st bday. too drunk and such. #19, get over yourself. most bar owners could care less and would be annoyed with a pesky 21 y/o returning over and over again to complain.
