Oldest you've been asked for ID

[Ninja Elephant]

Indeed, not to mention that I was unshaven at the time and had at least 3 fully visible tattoos.

The problem was that one of the tattoos on show was "MUM"...

I am 25 and got asked for ID the other day in a pub, this was about quater to 7 and the barmaid was concerned whether I could stay in the pub after 8pm or not, "no kids allowed after 8, you see". Genuinely outrageous from my point of view, but fair enough from hers.

51 in Las Vegas last year going into a bar.....I showed him my Royal Air Force retired card.....( which has no DOB and explained that I must be old to be a veteran) but the doorman was having none of it...!! I was not allowed in.....!!!!!!!!!

In all the main clubs and bars in Brighton the door staff are told to ID literally everyone. Could be something about letting too many people from a specific town into their premises. I seem to remember a time when Walkabout, Oceana etc weren\'t letting ANYONE in from Crawley (haha).

Got ID\'d buying a scratchcard in the local Co-Op just before Christmas by a girl who was in my year at school. I told her she knows exactly how old I am (25), but she was just being a prick for want of a better word.

Still had to produce my ID though...some people.

Got refused a drink in the US because I couldn't produce proof of age at 53. When I laughed at the barmaid I got a torrent of abuse.

The ridiculous thing about the whole incident is that after I said that I didn't have any ID on me (I don't drive, and for some reason wasn't carrying my passport around the supermarket), the lady behind the till just said "Oh OK, I'm sure it's fine" and proceeded to serve me anyway!

That was exactly my case. I haven't had my hair cut for 6 months. I was unshaven and for the first time actually look my age rather than younger.

An old boy i drink with down the pub whose 74 got asked for ID purchasing The over 65's meal deal in the local Chippy as they didnt believe he was over 65.

38 buying alcohol in USA......

My Dad got ID'd at 61, again in the States. I believe that in some states the law requires shop attendants to ID everybody buying alcohol.

It's in case you're taken unconscious/involved in a fight, they want your address.

Those annoying nightclub flyer people have stopped giving me their handouts now, which is actually quite depressing.

My missus regularly gets asked if she is 18 in Morrisons when buying booze. She is 35.

 

[Dougie]

A few years ago in Florida I was asked for i d by a bar man and he refused to serve me till I showed him , I was 41 !

 

[papajaff]

Twice in one day in Atlanta last August. I'm 51.

The barmaid at lunchtime was 20, not old enough to drink. Then at the Baseball game in the evening; couldn't believe I was asked again so I asked the girl serving how old she REALLY thought I was. "32" she replied. She got a good tip for that but why ask? Apparently they are not allowed to think for themselves in the southern States. Seriously.

So if you want an ego boost, you know where to go on holiday.

 

[coagulantwolf]

I'm 20 and I don't look at all old, however very rarely get ID'd in tesco's etc. Always get ID'd on a night out though without fail!

 

[Woodchip]

Yesterday I was asked in a pub for ID. I'm 39. It's the first time I've been asked since I was 18.

You're 39?!?!? Christ on a bike. I thought you was about 25!!!!!

 

[fleet]

50 in US bar where everyone needed ID to get in

Spiritually and mentally 25 I'm sure ) I'm surprised you thought I was 25 though. Surely my posts about my girlfriend have taught you what years of experience I have in dealing with both life and the "fairer" sex.
