Today, I went to see a movie. While buying tickets, the girl behind the counter asked to show my ID card to proof I'm at least 16 years old. Not wanting to make a drama, I showed it. She took a look at it and declared it as fake. That ID is real and I'm 24. FML

Today, I went with my friends to see a movie. I handed my student card over to the cashier as proof I was old enough to see it, and he started laughing hysterically at my picture. Then he called over a colleague, who also started laughing. FML

Today, I got my fake ID and went out with the boys to dinner and the bars. One of my friends asked to see my ID. He noticed my birthday didn't make me over 21. I paid $170 for a fake ID with my real birthday. FML

Today, while buying drinks, the cashier immediately refused me and said, “Don’t even bother showing me your ID, you’re obviously 12." I’m 31. FML

Today, I went to buy some beer using my fake ID, when the cute cashier and I started flirting. When he asked me how old I was, I said without thinking, "Nineteen." FML

Today, I tried buying a video game that was rated "M - for mature". The Cashier told me "you have to be 17 to buy this game". I didn't have any ID on me. I'm 25. FML

Today, I tried buying alcohol for the first time. I have a baby face, so I had my ID ready. The store owner admitted that my ID looked real enough, but he wouldn't believe it wasn't just an elaborate fake. He very nearly called the cops on me. FML

Today, I tried to buy a bottle of wine from the supermarket. The scrawny, acne-ridden kid at the checkout asked to see my ID. I didn't have any on me, since I'm 37 years old and didn't expect to be asked stupid questions. I complained to his manager, only to be asked to leave. FML

Today, I went to a bar to celebrate my 26th birthday. I got ripped off by the bartender all night because she secretly gave me non-alcoholic versions of my drinks. Apparently I look like I'm 16, so she thought my ID was fake. Happy birthday to me. FML

Look at it this way - lots of people would kill and pay a good sum of money to look younger.

well take it as a compliment. you look 8 years younger than you actually are or more. so when you're 40, you'll like you're 32! :)

Same problem! I'm 21, and I practically haven't aged since I was 17. My ID doesn't help much either, since I look about 12 in the picture (it was taken when I was 16). Last time I went to a bar the bouncer asked what year I graduated from high school, testing me b/c he thought it was fake. I'm glad it expires this year. I might get a new one early.

I'd hope you asked for the manager. Altho many would kill to be in that situation, it sucks to be falsely accused.

What a bitch! I'd just go and buy the ticket with an automated machine, if there was one there. Funny story, I was buying tickets to see Coraline, and the cashier charged me as a child (13 and under). I'm 19, wtf.
