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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to buy beer underage for a party to impress a girl. I picked up the case of beer and went to the cashier, he ran it through without asking for ID. I left the store with a smirk on my face, I arrived at the party and showed the case to the girl. It was non-alcoholic. 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 sold a customer some beer. He then asked to see the manager, and told me he was a 19 year-old undercover cop. My knee jerk reaction was to panic and curse aloud, before realizing he was balding, toothless, probably 50, certainly not a cop, and laughing at me for being such a gullible moron. 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 got my fake ID and went out with the boys to dinner and the bars. One of my friends asked to see my ID. He noticed my birthday didn't make me over 21. I paid $170 for a fake ID with my real birthday. 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, 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 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 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 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I guess next time you'll try using it on an ugly cashier. YDI

YDI for simply having a fake ID, idiot. You do realize its a felony to carry a fake ID and you could have gotten the cashier fired. This is another fine example of people being stupid.

It's actually called a novelty id. And you can't get arrested or in trouble for carrying it.

If that is your child in your picture, I imagine you have enough experience in underage drinking to be a reliable source. So I believe you, criminal.

Okay then...well, good thing you didn't get the beer. The loss of braincells might kill you.

A date with a hottie is worth a little beer.

It's official OP and I (or you know, just me) should move to Canada, get the alcohol, and move back to the US to party!

Have you never heard of customs? You can't even be drunk when you get back from Canada. You could maybe get away with it 30 years ago, but not today.

230- you can actually be drunk going through customs. I live on a border town, please do not argue against me.

You should've said "19... Plus 2! I'm a mathematician by the way ;)" might lose points for being a matmatician, but at least it'll explain the adding.

I don't see why he asked when it shows your date of birth on IDs.. I think he knew there was no way you weren't underage, but hey, I think you should be able to buy alcohol after you turn 18.

And I think we should sterilize those with an IQ under 110. But we can't all have our way.

That's assuming she had already shown him the fake. Where I live, there have been multiple occasions where a cashier has just asked me how old I am instead of asking for my driver's license. Probably suspecting you'll slip up if you are underage, like in OP's case.

as well you should...

He was obviously tricking you because if he really wanted to know how old you were, he would've just checked the ID.
brandon3747 16
Maybe don't use a fake I.d?
Mahendra1 9
Yeah, because the cashier was totally into you. He wasn't fake flirting with you to get you to reveal your real age at all...
