Today, a friend and I went to Gamestop to pick up a game he wanted. I ended up buying a 17+ game, and I was prepared to show my license, but he stopped me an said, "I know you're 18". He then said, "Man, I've pretty much watched you grow up in this store." A game salesman watched me grow up. FML

OP here. It's a FML to me because, I'm not ashamed of being a gamer, I feel that it's just a pretty dorky situation. I totally was caught off guard when the site gave this entry the green light. I just thought it would be funny to share. A bit of background though, #155 is completely right, it's only been like 4 years.

That's more of FHL. He's been working at a game store for all those years. Atleast you had an excuse, you liked playing video games. Not all kids are into going out and playing sports etc.

I work at EB and all my co-workers have been there from between 2 years - 4 years. Everyone goes to college except for me since I'm still in highschool. It doesn't mean that they have no life, it means they're getting an education for a better career. They can obviously go for another job, but it's fun working in Gamestop/EB. OP, I don't see how this is an FML. At least you didn't have to show ID. Most teenagers I've ID'd freak out and start swearing.
