I should be happy about it, I guess. This time yesterday some girls I think must have been 10 years younger then me at least, in front of me in the queue were not asked for ID. And I was worrying that she might of course accuse me for using somebody elses ID, if she really thought I could be so young. Since I have been accused for that before ;this can't be you, must be your aunt/sister/mother...
But I'm glad she didn't.
I don't think I look that young anymore. I had a haircut recently, and a friend commented with hey, now you don't look 17 anymore, more like 22/23.
It is of course hard to be taken seriously if people think you are 17.
I suppose I should be glad ;)
But I feel often people look at me as a "freak" when I'm with my kids...especially my 14 year old, but he just thinks it's fun:)

Sorry to throw water on your fire, but a lot of shop staff ask for proof of ID no matter how old you look. It is a bit silly when an obvious 80 year old gets asked, but this is their way of doing it these days so absolutely no minors get sold booze or fags. Not that this woks but that's the way they are doing it now.

- Well I actually do look quite young, I just recently had a haircut to tr make myself look a bit more sophisticated, and older, and a friend of mine said that now I didn't look 17 anymore more like 22/23.
  I guess I should be happy, but there are some problems with looking so young. One is people don't take you seriously, and of course people stare when I'm with my kids and my partner who is the same age but looks older. I have got used to it, but sometimes I wish I could just shout> I'm 32!
  But not much I can do about it.

No.

PS drinking age should be 16.
Comments
- It should be 25 by the actions of the drinkers I see.

- A person who is 16 could be mature like they are 28.
  A person who is 24 could be immature like they are 14.
  
  Age, although it's the only realistic limit for drinking, is not a fair one.

If you should be happy I should be overjoyed because I have to show my ID so many times and I am 73. I think some of the check-out computers ask for some input even if it is obvious.
Comments
- wow! :)

- Naw you are so youthful, they just don't trust ya and need to see that I.D.
  Isn't that life? At one end you complain about being asked to show your I.D. and not all that long later you are wishing they would. :)

Depends where you shop, I've been in stores where an id is required from everyone who looks like they're under 60.. that is the guideline they follow.
