28 and still get ID'ed!

I work in a school as well and have on 2 occasions been mistaken for a pupil, once by a sixth former, and once by another member of staff.

The years have been kind to me, obviously!

I'm 36 and not been asked since I was 13, so 23 years

The only time I've ever been IDed was to buy cigarettes at the age of 20. Never happened before that (had been buying the sodding things since I was 15) and it hasn't happened since.

I'm not even 20 yet, but in the last 6 months or so, I haven't been asked for ID once for alcohol. Whether it be drinking out or in supermarkets.

It was something that really used to annoy me, but now I kinda miss it. Not sure why, but it seems weird not being asked every 5 minutes especially since the supermarkets are now introducing the 25 policy.

They do say that drinking too much does prematurely age a person!

I got a tattoo at the age of 13, and yet I never got ID'ed until a few weeks before my 24th birthday, and that was when I was buying some wine to go with my dinner (which I was also buying at the same time).

I'm now 30 and still get asked. Last time was my night out drinking celebrating my 30th. OH gets asked also.

Its a good thing.

I'm 25 and have never once in my life been asked for ID I always looked older from 13 or so onwards, being tall and having a very 'womanly' figure shall we say... I could easily pull off being much older. Now I just feel old if when out with a group of friends they get id'd on the way in somewhere but the bouncers say they don't need to see mine *sniffle*

I generally always get asked in supermarkets, but then I am quite baby-faced, and I'm only 21 so they should be asking to enforce the 25 rule. At co-ops and newsagents no one usually cares, and pubs rarely ask me (but then most of the places I go I've been before and the staff recognise me).

Sod's law dictates that I will always be asked if I've forgotten my ID. My OH- who I believe was about 24 at the time- didn't have his ID on him and got quizzed on his age trying to buy some cans of beer from Sainsbury's. They IDed me as well and despite his efforts to point out if I was old enough to buy booze, then his haggard face should surely prove he was old enough too they weren't having any. I had to buy his beer while he went to buy cigarettes and the young girl at the till IDed him too, and refused to believe he was at least 16 so I had to buy those as well:rotfl:

Doubt I'd get away with that today as they'd have probably refused to serve me lest I give it to the OH.
