Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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, 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 got refused a Red Bull because I didn't have my ID on me and you have to be over 16 to legally buy one. I'm 26 and was paying for petrol for the car that I was going to drive away in. 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 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 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 was asked for ID to purchase decorative scissors. I was buying them to make my wedding decorations. FML
Today my job started requiring all transactions regarding cigarettes or alcohol to have the ID scanned before proceeding. There is no way yo bypass this function. I carded a 60 year-old man and his 40 year-old son who both yelled at me for 10 minutes. 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 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You won't be saying "FML" if you were to accidentally kill yourself with those spoons.

Spoons can be super dangerous! A man was once killed, when another guy hit him in the back of the head with a dessert spoon.

You're right. They wouldn't be saying anything if they were to accidentally kill himself with those spoons.

Maybe the cashier thought you were cute and wanted your name :)

I'm a cashier, and people often stalk me too... That's why I cut of my last name from my name tag :) I see what you mean

Or you know not could be a rational thing like op used a credit card and policy dictates they match up ID with card.

That isn't a worldwide policy, especially if the credit card has chips and pins.
devildog562 33
I meant it as the company policy dictates you show it, not worldwide or country wide or state wide. As far as I know it's completely optional worldwide.

I always check for I.D. if the credit card isn't signed. Could've been the case here.

Maybe cashier had heard that only over 18's should be spooning in bed.

Hey, maybe they were just curious and wanted to see how terrible you looked on your ID picture compared to now..

"Spooning" is serious business. It would've probably been advisable to also get condoms at the same time prevent unwanted pregnancy

I agree. Spooning is very serious. It's a gateway activity to forking.

But you should only do that with really "knife" girls

I'm almost 18 and look much younger. Some days I get my ID checked to get into rated R movies. Other days I get away with buying pool chemicals that you have to be 18 to buy without having to show ID. Teaspoons though? That's ridiculous.

A few days ago I got IDd buying an M rated video game. And I'm 21. I don't know how he thought I looked 16 or under. I think it just depends on the person who's there.
