to want to get id at 27 for free samples in the supermarket of waffle ffs?

[mustsleep]

ok so here's the story was at costco with my mum and dad and daughter yesterday (btw i am 20 weeks pregnant) dd was moaning about being in the trolley so i walked over and helped myself to a little cup with waffle and maple syrup in it

the woman manning the station calls me back rather loudly and shouts sorry love but i need your mum and dad's permission before you can take that!!! then she noticed my dad behind me and said oh is taht your dad you're ok then ......... ok so after i have processed what is happening i smiled sweetly and said yes that is my dad but i think that at 27 i do not need parental permission to eat waffle

she then cam over put her specs on and said no i don;t believe you you only look 14!! my mum had to actually come over and vouch that i was 27!!!

now i am not being funny but i do not look under 18 although if you want to id me for alcohol fair enough but 14 ffs waffle ffs

aibu

LOL
sorry.
I'd imagine they need permission for under 16's because of allergies and court cases.

i know but 14?? really i don;tlook that young she'll have given me a complex what must people think when they me out with ds 6 dd 2 and pregnant good god!!

I'd be and !!

Lol- at 26 I regulalry get id'd for alcohol - and refused if I dont have said ID. Despite showing them wedding ring, DS, car keys, credit cards they still wont believe Im over 18!

I absolutely love it! Am dreading the day it stops...

xx

you should be happy!!!
although the best bit of going to costco as a child was the samples, we never went accompanied to stalls.

you should be glad you look so young and fresh ! i once got asked for ID when i was 7 months pregnant, wtih DS, i was 23... i wanted to take a Jackie Collins book out of the library ( i knooooow! ) and they said they were for over 16s !!! i was torn between preening and being furious that i looked like a gymslip mum

that's the thing i wouldn't mind if it was for alcohol but a waffle!! ffs

i normally carry my passport with me as am used to this but wasn't planning on buying anything like that

i have been id'd before in sainsburs for cigarettes back when i smoked when i was 22 and was ds and i said i have my creditr card which i'm planning to use to pay for them with and the bloke behind the counter made a big deal about how i couldn;t use that as id as it might not be my card but when i produced my passport he no probs letting me use it for payment

lol chequers i get that too but normally i just say no they arent home so i don;t have to go through the full speill with them

I got IDd for Lottery two years ago, I was 27. I got flustered because she asked if I was 16. Well, no, I'm not, errr...
I had rosy cheeks from sitting in the sun and my Little Miss Tiny t-shirt on.
I remember getting IDd for booze when I was about 20, and my friend having to buy it because I didn't have any. He was 17. Grrr...

xx

my friend still gets id'd in pubs and he's 30!

last time i was id'd was when i was 22 with dd there and pregnant with ds (am 24 now), the odd thing is when i was underage i was the one who always went to the offie or to buy fags as i could pass for 18 even when my older friends couldn't!

exploit that gift to your advantage- claim reduced price seats at concerts etc! My friend and I got into a concert as children when we 29. We had a good giggle about it. Would have peeved to not to be allowed waffle though...

that's hilarious mustsleep! I'm the same age as you and nearly kissed the woman at the checkout last week when she asked me for ID! Its quite reassuring considering i go through life feeling about 60 most days

Oh, oh, oh, just remembered thing happened in Somerfield the other day, when I nipped in with my nearly 13 yr old daughter to buy a box matches and a tin of tomatoes. A level student behind the till waved them at his manager, as he was not old enough to sell them to us without age check.

"I don't know", says manager looking archly at me, "how old are you?"

Me, humorously as I am in fact 40 and look nothing like underage to buy matches (what is the age to buy matches anyway?): "I am 11 and she is 7, pointing at my daughter."

Oh, well in that case, says he perfectly seriously, I can't let you have them.

"Oh fgs, say I, look at me: do I look underage?" (was quite tired anyway and defo not looking my best, plus was crabby and hungry and husband needed tomatoes asap for bolognese) "I am 40 yrs old!"

"Oh, in that case, you can have them."

Teach me to be sarcastic/humorous with people who have no sense of humour.

I got on the bus for half when I was 27. Also around the same time, when sitting outside my flat one night, while a troublesome neighbour was causing a bit of a hoo haa, another neighbour looked down at me and said sympathetically arrr and have you got school tomorrow??!

Sadly 10 years later it has all caught up with me.

Take it as a compliment.

God I would love to be ID'd have only ever been ID'd once and that was shortly after I turned 18 and the doorman knew me but not well enough to know that I had just had a birthday.
I do like to try and id myself that I look awful young to have 2 children but I really am kidding myself.

Erm no I don't try and id myself that would be incredibly stupid I obviously try and kid myself.

I went to a bar with my ex BF once and I was 24, he was 38. The doorman asked me for ID (not him) and my ex got all annoyed and said - do you really think i'd be out with her if she was under 18? He was genuinely pissed off about it as well, as the guy who ID'd me was blatantly younger than him.

I really, really would never, and cannot ever comprehend anyone objecting to being ID'd, its done for very good reason.

However, for a waffle? When you are 5 months pregnant?! Silly old woman..

Oh, and another time I was in a taxi, middle of the day, and the driver said to me 'so why are you off school today?'. I was 25.
