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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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 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 was carded for trying to buy wine and was told the dates were faded, so they wouldn’t be selling it to me, since they suspected I was underage. I work at the vineyard that produces the wine, I’m the head vintner, and I made the wine in the bottle I wasn’t allowed to buy. FML
Today, when I went to the gas station to buy beer, some underage punk outside asked me to buy him booze. I told him to get bent, but the dumbass cashier had seen me talking to him, and refused to let me buy alcohol because, "This is obviously a sting." 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
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 fired for not asking a senior citizen for proof that he was over 21 and legally allowed to purchase alcohol. When I told my manager he was clearly over 21, he replied, "But what if he WASN'T?" 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 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

depending on what state you are in he could face jail time for not asking for id for anyone who looks under 40. I've had people come over the counter at me for asking for theirs. let the kid do his job and start carrying your id like u are supposed to

Showing I.D. to prove you're 21 is not new. They've always asked. And what are you doing out driving around without your I.D. on you, it's illegal.

Oh dear god. Learn to read. Not illegal. Not even immoral. Doesn't have to be 21. No fines/ jail time for not carding people. *maybe* a suspension if you failed to card someone who turned out to be under 18, but this happened to my friend who worked in the student union and she just got a warning.

Yep, it is sort of annoying when people think the world revolves around their home country. To save our sanity, I'll just shut down the comments on this one to encourage them to assume less, and to read more.

I enjoy this post, its like repeatedly banging your head against a brick wall.... UK= legal drinking age of 18 No one over 25 EVER carded in 99.9% of places Not in any way required to carry ID cards Not illegal to drive without having your licence on you (this is particularly true for people who are 35+ as their licences are in fact A4 sheets of paper, and carrying it around would be tantamount to stupidity, as it would probably get irreparably damaged.)

Dumbass he has to legally ask and then you're a double dumbass for going to buy wine without an id

i'm 25 and was recently asked if I'm over 16. It's policy to see an ID, don't get so worked up.

You’re a piece of shit. Not only are you attacking this kid on something he can’t help because of your stupidity, but you’re blaming him for doing his job, because you’re STUPID!

I work at a grocery store myself, and it's policy to request an ID for anyone who looks under 40. There are secret shoppers that occasionally will come through, so you really can't afford to allow someone clearly over 21 to pass through.
