It's bought, not brought. Please learn the difference.

I frequently get ID'd when buying alcohol and I'm 23.

^^ @ Nix Maybe he brought it home and his Dad ID'd him?

I always get those two the wrong way around, and you know you are talking to someone who has dyslexic? just so you are aware.

I got refused to buy a pack of lighters from LIDL last week. We were camping and whilst getting some bits of food decided we should get a few lighters too. Girl at the checkout swiftly whipped them off the conveyor belt and said "No no, you have to be 21" - without even asking for ID. I couldn't be bothered to challenge it at the time, but it doesn't seem right unless LIDL have got their own 21 only policy for matches/lighters.

in my morrisons they are pretty silly and dont seem to know what challenge 25 means . i usually get asked ''are you 25'' to which i reply no because im not ????

then theres usually an awkward silence and gap of nothingness while they have to actually think about what they just asked. eventually they ask for ID or sometimes just serve me anyway :/

i got ID'd for filter tips recently. pieces of foam. i never had any ID with me either so i cant even laugh about it

I'm 27 and still look a passable 22-23 apparently. Good in one way but rubbish in that people treat me like crap sometimes because of it. I do get id'ed sometimes, but it think its out of shear malice not because i look young.

it could be worse, this was in the local paper in Coventry. laugh away!

23 but people think im 17 or 18, but sometimes they guess right lol. People are just crap at guessing ages and generally...well...guess without thinking

I'm glad OP takes it like a compliment, unlike the guy who raged a few weeks ago.

P.S. You were in there.

LOL, why didnt she just ask to see the manager >> I love my city

I usually get asked for id when buying ciggarettes but usually when im being served by a young person.

Clum · 14 Apr 2010 at 10:01

The other day someone though I was the father of my 15 year old cousin.

I'm 26.

Ahleckz · 14 Apr 2010 at 10:02

I was buying some beer in my local offy the other week and the woman said "how old are you?". It totally threw me, and I stood there for about 4 seconds looking confused before saying "umh, 21". She just said "OK" and charged me. Cracking way to challenge underagers. - I do look of age though.

Sorry, my age is obviously getting the better of me, but what?

You look under 25, they ID you and you're 18 you get served, why was I refused if they thought I was 24?

You look 25, yet you're 17 why would they ID you?

If you look under 25 they will ID you. You looked 24, this is 1 number below 25, so you got IDed.

At 17 year old is not going to look 25. Generally speaking it's a case of ID anyone that isn't obviously old enough to buy alcohol/over 25, so it's more in the range of challenge 30+ than 25.

r3loaded · 14 Apr 2010 at 10:10

I've never been asked for ID at challenge 25 stores, even when I was 18. Actually, I don't think I've *ever* been asked for ID at all. :confused:

I'd be happy to be ID'd every single time I bought alcohol really. Makes no difference to me, driving licence is always in my wallet next to my debit card and I wouldn't ever take offence at it.

Though I've not been ID'ed since I was about 17

Skillmister · 14 Apr 2010 at 10:14

Weirdly i've been ID'd more since i turned 18 than i did when i was 16/17 :S
