Today, I stepped out of a bar in order to make a phone call. While I was outside, the bouncers arrived and ropes were put up. They wouldn't let me back in, claiming I was too young and they hadn't seen me come out. I was celebrating my 26th birthday, the legal drinking age is 18. I also have a beard. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my parents took me to a bar to celebrate my 21st birthday. They brought my little brother, but when the bouncer wouldn't allow him in, they made me wait outside with him while they went in for drinks. 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
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, I turned 21 and had a huge party because I could finally drink legally. Got arrested for public intoxication. FML
Today, I got a change of ID. My old ID had its corner cut off and was given a temporary paper ID. I went to a bar in another town to have some drinks. Turns out I couldn't because they couldn't use my old ID or my temporary one to let me drink, even though I'm 22. I've been there before and I work at my town's liquor store. 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, for my 18th birthday, I went out to a club with my mate and I drank so much I ended up breaking my nose. I was there for an hour. 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, I went to the bar I've always gone to after work for the past 12 years. On arrival, I got banned for life, punched in the nose and thrown out. The barmaid comes out and says, "Sorry, wrong guy." 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It would've been better if it read: ''...the legal drinking age is 18. I have a beard. I'm also a woman. FML"

Seriously like 22 said. I'm 16 now; the first time I had a full beard was last year in November (yes I was 15). Quit being so haughty by saying you have a beard because it's not an accomplishment and it's not like you grew it out at a young age anyways. Meanwhile YDI because all men have ID in their wallets and wallets in back pocket. I believe this was already said before, I just have the same opinion

it clearly says that the OP is from Australia. and not every other country in the world is the same as yours. Most aren't, in fact.

It doesn't so clearly say it when a person is on the FML app on their phone. It usually just gives you the post and the writer's nickname, not the gender or the country.

Anywhere other than the United States since they have the highest drinking age. Sucks to be you.

Its also 18 in Alberta, Canada. Right above you. You can go there and drink on Spring Break.

A beard isn´t proof of age at all. I had a beard when I was 14. By your logic, I should have been granted access to Australian bars at 4 years under the age requirement.

my bro is 17 and can grow a beard. Your two options: 1) show him your ID, duh 2) if you left your ID inside, call whoever you were with (you obviously had your phone with you) to bring it outside so you can show the bouncer.

Where I live anyone can drink but under 18s have to be in privacy, you have to be 18 to get into a bar though

If you're a PC then search for 'character map' if you're a Mac then search for 'character palette'

Waffle shortage is not news. A thousand years ago the Mayans predicted there would be a waffle shortage at the end of 2009. One of the signs that the end of the world is approaching.
