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

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I went with my friends to see a movie. I handed my student card over to the cashier as proof I was old enough to see it, and he started laughing hysterically at my picture. Then he called over a colleague, who also started laughing. 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, 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, 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 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 buying a video game that was rated "M - for mature". The Cashier told me "you have to be 17 to buy this game". I didn't have any ID on me. I'm 25. 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 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 had to show my ID to prove I was over 18. I was buying teaspoons. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Look at it this way - lots of people would kill and pay a good sum of money to look younger.

I hate when people think I am younger than I am. I'm 18, but people always think that I'm still 15 or 16!! WTH? I think its because I have freckles. I hate those damn freckles...

$10 Says the OP is black, and that the lady behind the counter was white. I know, because im black, and this kinda shit happens to me all the time. Damn racist people, ESPECIALLY when it comes to cops. They stereotype too much, and assume that just cuz im black and walking outside at 2am, that im about to rob somebody.

"The OP's black, and the lady's white?" That's actually very racist. I know this may come as a shock to you, but not all racists are white and not all whites are racist. People of every race can be racist.

Oh good! I'm not the only one with that problem! Half the places I'm trying to get a job at think that I'm 14 years old, and think my ID is fake when I show them. I'm 20 and have been looking for a job since November!

You're ******* pathetic. It's ******* racist for you to think that way. And you think that because you're black you have a right to bitch about the world? No, sorry. A lot of blacks happen to be more racist than whites, but of course it isn't seen that way because they were slaves. Oh wait.. none of the blacks living today were slaves .. ever(Unless maybe you're a kinky like that). And no, I didn't say all blacks. I didn't even say 50%, just a lot. I'm not saying whites aren't racist either, but I think it's ******* even and you're a prime example of an asshole. The end.

Yes, it is clearly fake except... oh wait, what's this? They're not posting from your country? Funny story, 16 *is* correct in Belgium.

Actually, since OP was buying tickets for a movie, it's entirely possible, even if the age he needed to be was 12. However, if this was about buying alcohol, you would be completely correct as you need to be 16 for that in Belgium.

I'm 18 and people ALWAYS think I'm 12-14. The worst is that everyone thinks my 14-year-old brother is older than me.

That sucks. I'm 16 and I get asked if I'm entering middle school this year. I'm a senior in high school. :S So I know how you feel.

Lol I've actually considered this. When I met my (22 year old) boyfriend's best friends, they thought he was a creep for dating a 14 year old. I'm 20 =
