To laugh at this?

Guy in the local supermarket was asked to produce ID because he was buying an energy drink. You have to be 16 to buy them. The guy produced ID, but said he was 30. He looked it as well.

Not as funny as when a 72 year old bloke got asked to provide Id in a well known supermarket to prove he was over 18.
I bet hes still on cloud 9.

There was a man in his 40s who got asked when I was in sainburys once. He was very pleased.

My friend was still getting ID'd at 39, but she does look very young.

I think it was especially because it was only an energy drink, not even alcohol.

Mind you a woman I knew who did look young got ID in her early 30s when she bought a tube of glue.

I worked in a stationery shop and we had to ID people for scissors. Teens doing school projects had to get their parents to buy them. Didn’t know about energy drinks though.

I pulled into a patrol station once and started filling up. The cashier came running into the forecourt and asked me for ID as you 'have to be over 16 to buy petrol.' I was a bit stunned as I was over 25 at this point!

You can thank Jamie Oliver for this. He's been campaigning for a ban of energy drinks to the under 16s and some supermarkets have now adopted this policy. He's presenting this to government to bring it into law.

My friend went to an off licence to buy beer and fags. Bought the beer without being ID'd, got back to the car and remembered he didn't buy fags, got ID'd by the same person who'd just sold them the beer... I'm sure it's an 'every 10th customer' thing, especially as I got ID'd for buying a bottle of wine on my 40th birthday!

@Ginger1982 But didn't the fact that you were driving the car give her a clue?

I’ve been asked twice recently if I need a young person ticket on the bus.

I’m 38, pregnant and feel about five million years old. Lovely bus drivers :)

NeedMoreSleepOrSugar exactly!!! Then I started to think, can you drive at 16? Maybe he just thinks I look 16...was very odd!

I id'd a kid for a pen knife and he used his long birth certificate! He was born in 1999 and old enough to buy by 1 month. Manager ok'd it but I felt ancient

I was 24 buying a tiny bottle of wine from home bargains, asked the cashier if she wanted to see my ID (I worked in a shop with a think 25 policy) she laughed and said no😑

My DD couldn't believe it when she was asked to provide ID for some alcohol she was buying in Iceland,a few years ago. She was 31.

I went to the local swimming pool for the over 50's session. The girl on the desk leant forward and whispered the session was for over 50's . I was 55 at the time, love her!

Once I IDd a customer who I thought was maybe ok but I wasn't quite sure. I felt so dowdy and old looking when I saw from her id that she was the same age as me (40s)
