    They most likely did, but I didn't Ive never tried a cigarette.

    Which proves that you are wrong to tar all teenagers with the same brush as I am 17 and would never do those things.

    I got accosted by kids when walking past the local off licence...asked me to buy them cigs..i just said i didn't have an id :whistle: saves on the possible abuse i could have got..

    I say the same, even though I look about the same age as I am (30)

    It generally works quite well, although the shops I go into know I'm definitely over the age of 18.

  • some teenagers are respectful enough but others are absolute horrors, i dont blame you for refusing, teenagers will do this sort of thing to impress there mates especially when there in a group and the person there asking is on there own they feel as if they can intimidate people. next time maybe you could report them to staff as they harassing customers entering the store.
    Or confront them, most teens these days are soft and when confronted will often turn and run or walk away, if you show you wont be intimidated they will usually back off!

  • With the name hazel you mst be in the 45-60 age range (name of its time- 5 at work all within 5 years) Be grateful they still want to see your boobs.

    I'm not really happy that people consider sexual harassment of this nature to be a laughing matter. You're barely any better than those who come out with such stuff in the first place.

    You only see a small minority out and about on the streets, each to their own, but myself my OH and friends were always playing video games inside (We still do even though i just turned 21!).

    When me and OH were 19 we got asked outside the local shop to buy a teen cigs, funny thing is we looked younger than her because we are both 5ft and 5ft 4. i was ID'ed for a 15 game when i was 18, i don't have a chance of buying cigs!

    I was thinking would that lad who was so interested in my breasts come up to me on his own and ask?

    Don't the kids think the shop keepers see them ask people? I was asked in the shop if I was asked to buy cigs.
