I used to get id-ed too. It was pouring down with rain, I had a close to 1 year old in the car with dh. Ran into Asda for a few small things, including 1 x bottle of bucks fizz to celebrate dc's birthday.
A lady came over and asked for ID when I was on the self service. I said "But I'm old enough." She replied with, "Sorry, we have to challenge anybody under 25, and you're not over 25." She was about to cancel it off, and I said, "My ID is in the car, and it's raining!" At this point, she thought I was a right chancer. She said, No, you look too young, you can't be old enough." I was getting really irritated at this point having had little sleep, and shouted, "I'm 32!! I have a baby in the car, and it's raining!" The man next to me was howling. I ran back to the car, grabbed the ID, took it back in, soaked with rain. The woman's face was a picture, studying it and then showing her colleague. "How is she 32?" She then begrudgingly put it through. It was only bloody bucks fizz! 😂
Now I'm pushing 40, with 2 dcs, the last few years have obviously taken their toll, I'd love it to happen now!
