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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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?

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

Ouch. Something similar happened to me when I was 22.... I was in Germany, and when I tried to buy alcohol from a store, she asked for my ID. I have an ID from the US, so I don't think she knew what it was, and the dates are written differently. She gave me a weird, skeptical look. Drinking age there is 16, but they're usually really relaxed about it... not sure why I was carded.

Yeah, I'm 22 and always get carded for cigs. When I go to clubs they look at my ID like it's fake. I get told, "But you look, like, 15." It's a bummer, but I like to think that when I'm older I'll appreciate it. But now, yes, it ******* sucks.

I thought people were more relaxed about that shit in Europe. I guess I deserve it for having faith in humanity. But seriously, that sucks for you.

I have a friend who's 25 but she looks like she could be a freshman in high school...it's just how it is for petite women with youthful characteristics. She actually gets a little worried if she goes to the liquor store and does not get carded.

For rated R movies you have to be 16(0r 17) and older.

They may not be pg-16, but in Belgium movies can be rated KNT, which means children under 16 are not admitted.
