This is for those of us who still get asked if we want a kids menu in a restaurant, get asked if we are graduating from elementary school instead of high school, and other things that people do when they assume you are much younger than you really are. Well at least that's what happened to me. Anyone else got stories?

I went out to a restuarant on NYE.
They handed me a kids menu. But then didn't card me when I ordered a drink. ![]() ![]() |

I'm 27, and am 5'2" with a little face and big eyes. For YEARS, I got asked for ID when buying cigs/alcohol. It drove me mental at the time - I really detested it. Here the smoking age is 16 so I was regularly asked until I was about 23. Some nasty old bat asked me if I was 16, a couple of years ago. I replied "No, dear, I'm 25."
After that it didn't happen much, apart from one little incident in 2004. I had to show my passport to get into a club... at the age of 26. It hasn't happened for over a year. It pissed me off something chronic when it happened all the time, but now, I don't care anymore. I used to get exceptionally irritated when people told me I'd be glad of it one day, but BonoVoxSuperstar is right, I'm afraid.I still fully empathise with anyone who's been irritated by this. I worked at a petrol station before I went to uni. I remember being infuriated when some arrogant 16 year old imbecile, who was queueing at my till, turned around to his mate and said "watch me get asked for ID by someone younger than me." I was 21! ![]() ![]() That said... I once had to ask a 22 year old to prove his age. He did look about 12, but I was a bit embarrassed when he produced his driving license and various other things. His friend thought it was hilarious. I hated doing it, but if I'd sold cigarettes to some underage brat (who were ALWAYS trying), I could have been fined £1000 and been sacked for gross misconduct. So I do feel for the unfortunate staff that have no choice but to ask. |

I still get carded occasionally at clubs and liquor stores and I'm 36. The guy at the liquor store in Edmonton in October was apologetic after he saw my ID, he was like, shit, sorry man.

when i'm not wearing makeup, i tend to look like an older adolescent. it's minorly irritating, mainly because i get hit on by said age group--and i'm not exactly a cradle-robber. Also, whenever i'm lugging around one or both of my two darling babies, people often assume that i'm either the "big sister" or the babysitter. Oh well, you get used to it. And, yes, as others have pointed out, it will be regarded as a blessing in the years to come.

Everyone tells me I look 10 years younger than I am and it feels good. I belive you are as young as you feel, age is only a number. My sister is 2-1/2 yrs younger than I am but everyone always thinks she is the older one! I haven't been carded in a long long time tho.

When I was a teenager I was mistaken for being older than I was (I think because I was really, really reserved in public), but since my mid twenties I generally am taken for being younger than my actual age. Best of both worlds!
