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.

It's ok, something similar happened to me only at the library. I went to go rent a DVD (I usually rent books) and the librarian said I had to be 18 or older to rent dvd's. I told her I was going to be 19 in May (this happened in March.) She's been working there since I've been going there at around the age of 5, and she said it didn't seem like I was 18.

That's neither an FML not a YDI. At least he was cool about it.

dude no joke, i've had this exact same thing happen to me. I was about 4"11 my freshman year, and i would go to Borders Books a lot when my mom dragged me to the mall. Like 2 years later i grew to 6"2 and a guy who worked at Borders creepily said to me "You've really grown up, haven't you?"

I totally agree with #6, his life is pretty sad- working in a video game store for so many years. Loooooooooooser! FHL!

You need to grow up a little more if that bothered you. 1. Call Game Stop 2. Ask if they have Battletoads 3. ??? 4. PROFIT

That's not bad, you just buy games at one store. I work at home depot and I see the same people 2-3 times a day every day I work.

I agree with 15. I don't see how this is a FML at all. It just means he's a loyal employee who had learned to recognize a loyal customer. Happens all the time, I thought it was cute.
