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 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 buy some beer using my fake ID, when the cute cashier and I started flirting. When he asked me how old I was, I said without thinking, "Nineteen." 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 got my fake ID and went out with the boys to dinner and the bars. One of my friends asked to see my ID. He noticed my birthday didn't make me over 21. I paid $170 for a fake ID with my real birthday. FML
Today, I went to see a movie. While buying tickets, the girl behind the counter asked to show my ID card to proof I'm at least 16 years old. Not wanting to make a drama, I showed it. She took a look at it and declared it as fake. That ID is real and I'm 24. FML
Today, I drove alone for the first time since I passed my test. I kept getting weird looks from other drivers and got pulled over by a cop. He said I was clearly underage and was sure my license was fake. Almost half an hour later, he finally let me go. I hate having a baby-face. 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 sold a customer some beer. He then asked to see the manager, and told me he was a 19 year-old undercover cop. My knee jerk reaction was to panic and curse aloud, before realizing he was balding, toothless, probably 50, certainly not a cop, and laughing at me for being such a gullible moron. FML
Today, I was pulled over for speeding. When the police officer approached me and asked for license and registration, I accidentally gave him my fake I.D. FML
Today, I went to buy beer underage for a party to impress a girl. I picked up the case of beer and went to the cashier, he ran it through without asking for ID. I left the store with a smirk on my face, I arrived at the party and showed the case to the girl. It was non-alcoholic. FML

If he called the cops I'd rub it in his face when it is confirmed as a real ID

I'm stricken with the forever baby face as well, OP. When I graduated from college I had people ask me if it was high school I was graduating from. We will appreciate it one day.

And that was where you should have said "Alright, I'll wait."

I've had that happen before. I went into a lingerie shop and the woman told me she couldn't sell me anything because I wasn't 18 and I told her I was 22 and she constantly asked if I was sure, because I clearly didn't know my own age. All while my 17 yr old friend, whom she said nothing to, got more irritated at her for talking to me that way. And with the same friend, I took her in Victoria Secrets with me while I shopped and she asked about an application. They told her she couldn't work there unless she was 18 and I couldn't buy anything unless I was 18. I told her I was 20 and simply left. Ever on my 22nd birthday I was accused of being 13. I'm not petite, just very youthful looking. I know your pain, but at least when you get older you can lie about your age :)

Had this happen to me once when I was in a casino

I'm 31, with a baby face. I regularly get carded at the bar when I am out with my brother. He never gets carded. He is 26. You get used to it. I would have told them to call the cops. It's not illegal to look young.

I'm 23 and still get asked what high school I attend. Buying alcohol is hard for us baby faces :')

Should have insisted he called the cops, once they confirmed your id was real, you wouldn't have that problem again.

If your id was real then it wouldn't have mattered if he'd called the cops. ydi

If your Id isn't fake then I would have let him call the cops.
