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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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.

Similar situation happened to my buddy one time...we went to a bar and said his ID was fake. This bar is notorious for confiscating fake ID's and putting them on the wall right when you enter the front door. His ID was real and they confiscated it from him needless to say we had to call the police to get them to give it back. F**king idiots! Sometimes I wonder if people use their heads for more than a hat rack.

when you're young it definitely isn't a compliment. im going to be 18 in less than a month and people think im 14 or 15 and it really doesn't help that im only 5'1.

dude I know how you feel I'm 19 and people think I'm like 13 or something! It sucks but at least when I'm 50 I'll look like I'm 40! vote: http://www.fanta.com/browse/contestant?id=046f74a53802b483735c610694d37e527ff201549e2a6253ebe28ea17ae3c504

I'm 24, and I still get asked if I want kids menus and get asked if I'm traveling alone when trying to go through airport security (after being asked my birth date twice, I had to point to it on my passport). It's embarrassing, but there's not much any of us who look younger than our age can do about it. I'm a senior at the University and I still get asked which high school I go to.

Hmm... That sucks at the moment, but in ten to twenty years from now (when most women start to look haggard) you'll hopefully still look young. Think of it as a kinda built in revenge if your significant other ever cheats on you... He'll end up alone or with an ancient looking woman, while you'll still be young and spry in comparison.

Was it an electronic idcard, or just one of the old types? In either case, the lady should have let you in. It has happened to me also, but thats why I carry extra cards with me (in those cases, my KULeuven student card).
