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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went with my friends to see a movie. I handed my student card over to the cashier as proof I was old enough to see it, and he started laughing hysterically at my picture. Then he called over a colleague, who also started laughing. 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, 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 buy some Ibuprofen and got asked for ID. You have to be over 16 to buy it. 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 tried buying a video game that was rated "M - for mature". The Cashier told me "you have to be 17 to buy this game". I didn't have any ID on me. I'm 25. 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 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
Today, I had to show my ID to prove I was over 18. I was buying teaspoons. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Look at it this way - lots of people would kill and pay a good sum of money to look younger.

It sucks that you look so much younger than your real age. At 24, looking 19~20 is actually great, because people tend to give you a student discount without even asking for your id/student card. I can't pull it off anymore when I get my hair done, though, I'm half white at 26.

i hear you OP, i'm 22 and get carded pretty much all the time... it drives me demented, especially when people realise their mistake and then start talking about how great it will be when i'm 40... i'm sure i'll agree with that when I am actually 40, until then, grrr!

I know it sucks. Sometimes they ask me if I'm already 14... I'm 17!

At a shop around the corner from my work I was asked what school I go to. I work in an office, so the suit could be mistaken at a glance for a school uniform, I suppose, if you're not really paying attention. But here's the thing...I'm 24.

I think xxlillyxx was talking about the troll and his moronic way to write (if intended to write like that).

Ahhh, don't feel bad. I'm 21 and get carded/held-back-for-scrutiny all the time, tho it hasn't happened at the movies yet, lol... Take it as a good thing, when your much older you'll still look young.
