Today, I’m at that glorious age where I have to pull apart my wrinkles to get at the zits hiding inside. FML

Today, I realized that at 20 years old I already have noticeable wrinkles around my eyes. But to balance it out, my chronic acne keeps me looking youthful. FML

Birthday blues
Today, my loneliness pushed me to buy a pack of cigarettes just so I had to show my ID to the clerk, hoping he would wish me a happy birthday. I don't even smoke and he didn't say anything. 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
IDPlease
Company policy
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

Many times stores have rules that require carding everyone for certain items - It probably wasn’t your acne. I got carded myself buying a lighter at Kroger and I’m older than you.

You're complaining? I was able to get a $500,000 mortgage when I was 12 because I looked 55. Would you rather be in my shoes?

Not sure what the law in your area is, but here in Arizona, you get carded for stuff if you look under 40. Even cigarettes and lighters.

As someone who used to be a a part of the retail world, most places are 50 and under. You’ll want to be carded one day, stop complaining.
