Today, as a bartender was carding my friends, I excitedly asked if he was going to card me. The guy gave me a blank stare before finally replying, "Look, lady, I don't have time to stroke some middle-aged woman's ego." I asked because it was my birthday. I just turned twenty-one. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, I went to the bar to celebrate my friend's birthday party. I gave the bouncer my ID and he kicked me out, saying that I should at least use an ID card with the correct gender. I'm 22 and female, he thought I was an underage boy. FML
Today, my friends and I went out for drinks. I'm the only one who's actually 21 or over, and they have fake IDs. Not only was I the only one to be carded, the bartender thought that my actual ID was fake. I got kicked out while my friends kept drinking. FML
Today, I finally turned 21, so my friends and I decided to go to a club. There, I met this hot waitress and we were really hitting it off. I ordered a drink. She replied, "No problem, kiddo." FML
Today, a cute thirty-ish chick walked into the bar I work in. I asked her for her license to make her feel young. She didn't have her license on her and started yelling about how stupid it was to even ask, when she obviously was old enough to drink. She then got up and left. FML
Today, it was my birthday, and even the person who seemed excited about me finally turning 21 and can legally drink forgot. Guess who got drunk alone tonight? This guy. 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, it's my birthday and my friends and I went to our favorite pub to celebrate. As I'm a little broke at the moment, they all offered to buy me birthday drinks. Which I later learned meant that they would order them for me and bring them to the table, but put everything on my tab. FML
Today, I got mugged on the way to my 21st birthday party at a bar. I begged the thug to at least throw me my ID, only to have him laugh and run away singing, "Happy Birthday." FML
Today, it's my birthday. My best friend called me at work and offered to take me out to lunch. When he went to pay for the meal, his card was declined so I told him not to worry and that I would pay for the birthday meal. He looked at me and said, "It's your birthday?" He was serious. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

#31, lowering the drinking age won't stop you from getting carded. You get carded for buying cigs, anyway; alcohol would be no different. I'd also like you to explain how showing ID is "patronizing"...too young to get your own alcohol?

Look, number 19. SHE WAS AT A BAR. Not the Ritz. us bartenders have a fast-pace and hard job. We don't have time to deal with morons. We bartenders in America get paid less than minimum wage. We get paid $3.77/hr to be exact. AND we pay taxes on that. So basically we get paid around $3.00 an hour to deal with ******* stupid people. I am especially sick and tired of carding 2 or 3 people who look around 19, and then have their stupid friend who looks 45 ask, "ooh! Are you going to card ME?!" It's embarassing to everyone, and theres not really any appropriate answer. Good for him for speaking the truth. Our jobs are already stressful and pretty much suck. The fact that you would actually consider going through all that trouble to ruin someones job, is sickening. You should be ashamed of yourself. It's people like you who don't tip and are rude. As a result you get shitty pours in your drink, and in some extreme cases, maybe someone's balls rubbed on your steak. oh and the same to you #33.

oh my god.. these ppl need to lighten up! it was a BAR...! where ppl DO judge you by your looks. yeah he went off on her, but he probably had his reasons! and plus, if he doesn't card you, don't bring it up, that's the whole point...
