[rushgirl28]

I think iding has gone far enough i got told to to leave a bookies was humiated and upset i didnt think bring my passport on holiday then i found out my expired passport no use cant be used.Which means if i want to b an adult i have to pay money out to get a id.its not fair and going to be 30 in two weeks anyone else feel the same?if do i going set up the petition?

yes if everyone was ided that be more fair

free proof of age

I always complain when I'm not I.D.ed which is all the blooming time as I look every one of my 44 years!!

childish cause i have an opition

Or if not free, it is a cheaper option than a passport

Why were you humiliated though?
I don't have I.D. So I don't moan when I'm refused goods for that. Its my own fault for being too lazy and tight to shell out for a provisional license.

I take it you meant opinion ?

No: childish because you're whining about procedures there for a good reason.

£15 is not too bad. here

I am 33 and I love it when I get ID'd but I do always carry mine since they do the '25' thing, because it is bloody annoying when you are refused something.

Good luck with this,er, petition!

i only said thinking of setting up petition im voicing my opinion which so wrong to some.

The staff who have to comply with all the proof of age procedures are regularly shouted at, insulted, told to f* off/ drop dead, etc and that's on a good day :( please don't be another person acting against us :(

so id cards are not worth it then thats great you cant take your passport out when you go clubs what if it gets stolen that 70 something pound down the drain.

You asked if you were being unreasonable. Most say you are. You chose AIBU to post in. Get over it.

OP Why were you humiliated?, this is the 3rd time I've asked. I don't understand how being asked for I.d as per the law, equals humilation?

Do you have a mobile phone which you take to clubs? Is it worth £70?

Yabu!

My dd carries her passport at times as id. Why do you think you would lose it? And why were you. 'humiliated'?

Oh god, your life sounds soooo hard.

I don't have a passport, or drivers licence, so I paid £15 and got a Citizencard. It's great, also means I can fly domestic flights without a passport.

Waahhh waaaahh!

Why do you think you would lose it? And why were you. 'humiliated'?

She wasn't, she was humiated I think it's like fumigation, but only on done on gambling premises.

Did you stick your bottom lip out and stamp your foot, when you said you were getting up a petition?

Or did you scweam and scweam until you were sthick?

oh, and for clarification, everyone in the US does NOT get carded regardless of age. You get carded if you don't look old enough, just like here. Unless you get a ridiculously stupid jobsworth that wants to be an ass and ask for ID when you're 40-something.. just like you get the same kind here..

Honestly, if you're going to trot out a "foreign fact" at least get it right.

YABU.

Would you rather someone lost their job and got a personal fine of thousands because you have no ID? A friend who worked in a bar once said, "One drink just isn't worth my job and a £15,000 fine." She's right.

I carry mine at all times, and don't get asked often. I know the one time I leave it at home though, I will be!

Citizen cards are £15.

YABVU. I work in a betting shop and I as an individual can be prosecuted and fined up to £25,000 if I serve somebody who is underage. We are tested constantly by the company, the council and the gambling commission and will lose our jobs if we fail these 'age tests'

I have received abuse and been threatened with violence when I've asked for I.D before. Age laws are there to protect the young and vulnerable. I would really like to know what YOU suggest as an alternative.
