Has this ever happened to you?

[Collegeboy]

Ok so I just turned 21. I decide to exercise my new freedom and go buy some beer. I get up to the counter pull out my Driving licenses and the attendant looks at it and says it is a fake id (we have a huge problem with fake ids being a college town). I then try to explain to her that it isn't one. I then try and pull out my military id card to show her again I am of age, to no avail she thinks it is fake. (How can anyone fake a military id card I have no idea). I decide this isn't worth it so I put the stuff back on the counter and go to another store and had no problems.

Am I the only one that have had this happen to them?

no, my fake id usually works

[Cliffio]

been there


it sucks

[edweird]

well if they are the old style military ID they are not really that difficult. We had a ring of dorm folks here selling modified military id's and they got their arses handed to em hard.
Funny stuff really, the guy running it fell asleep working on the id's in the wee hours of the weekend. Anyhow the guy that lived accross from him got in a drunken fight and the cops had to go through his place and the shared bathroom and LOW and BEHOLD open to the world is this counterfiting operation. Anyhow he kept spectacular records and 75 people went down with him.

anyhow i digress ...

that sucks dude.

NA mine is a brand new one gotten two fridays ago. Anyways I think the lady was new.

It happens, especially when you are right around that age. You just have to deal with it.

However, as a suggestion - bring your passport. It's a Federal Document and must be accepted as proof of age.

As an aside to this, a friend of mine lost their license while in college and used their passport to go out to the bar all the time, while delaying on getting a new one.

He had his priorities straight.

I've never had that happen (I'm not 21 and can't buy beer lol), but don't you love it when it happens the other way around? One of my freinds was getting her belly peirced and the lady doing it was like "You got to be at least 25 or something right?" In fact she's only 17. Another friend is only 16 and buys ciggaretts all the time without getting carded.

[digitard]

My friend Tim is 27 ... (im 22) ... a while back a group of us were going to see a movie and he got carded for the 17+ movie ..lol

Hmm.. I just got a fun idea. A freind of a freind just turned 18. If you asked a random person on the street how old he looked, the average answer would probably be 13.

Videocamera + Taping him trying to buy porn (or something you have to be 18) = fun.
