    Thats only 4 years difference between 22 & 18. You can hardly moan about that.

    Someone in there 40s/50s/60s isn't going to be able to notice that 4 year gap like you can. You might be short/look young for your age anyway. If thats the case then you really can't complain.
  • It's not the fact that I'm asked for ID, I'm used to it, it's the fact that anyone who was to buy a fake ID, any sensible person would add a year onto their birth date, not four.

    Of course I can complain, yes, I look young, yes, I'm also short. But I had ID.

    What is the point of going to the effort to get ID if they just say 'nah it can't be yours because you look young'. Obviously it must have looked like me since they say it was my sisters.
    Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.

    My reply was to the post prior to mine, not yours.

    :rotfl::rotfl: I so hope I have that happen to me when I'm 61. It would make my day.:rotfl::rotfl:
    He does look much younger than 61 but think that was pushing it a bit too far but think he was rather chuffed all the same.
