I've been carded again.
This seems to happen quite often. I've had cashiers suspicious when I use a credit card. I stormed out of Red Lobster, never to return, after the manager refused to serve me alcohol (I didn't have an ID on me) and then threatened me when I took a sip from my mom's drink. The cashier asked to see ID when I went to see "Hannibal Rising", which is rated R, but said nothing to my sister who is ten years younger than I am. And just recently, when I went to buy a couple of DVDs including "Near Dark" and "Heathers", the clerk asked for ID . . .
How old am I? I'll be 33 in a couple of weeks.
I've been legal to drink for 12 years, legal to see R-rated movies for 16 years! Is this just business cover-our-ass nannyism gone mad, or do I honestly look half my actual age? At this rate I think I should get a job going undercover in stings where someone's selling booze to minors or to trap pedophiles.
And please don't tell me to enjoy it while it lasts, because apparently it's gonna last for a while and it's humiliating as heck.

My dad got carded in his mid 30's too, but the guy who carded him was cool about it. He said that the restaurants policy is to card anyone unless they have grey hair.
So maybe its not just you, but yes it does sound ridiculous for the rated R movie.

dude! The cashier was only carding you so she could get your name and address so that her and twin sister could come visit you!

I'll be 31 in a few days, and, depending on the way I wear my hair, I get people saying stuff to me like "you look familiar... are you in my daughter's girl scout troop?" or carding me for buying paint, or trying to buy an R rated movie.
It really seems odd to me, because growing up I had people start calling me "maam" when I was TWELVE. I'm not sure at what point I went from looking very old for my age to looking young.
Sometimes it gets annoying, but for the most part I think it's funny, because other people seem to get embarrassed when they find out my real age, after calling me "sweetie" or acting like I'm trying to sneak beer, or seeing that I have an almost 10 yr old child.

I was buying beer when I was 14 (legal age then was 18) and getting carded into my 30s. Go figure. I loved getting asked for my ID at that point!
Last year a cashier asked for ID when I was buying cigarettes. I asked her if she was kidding and she seriously said no.
Now, when we go to the movies, my bf makes me walk ahead past the cashier and buys 2 senior tickets. Sheesh!

I'm 19 and I don't get carded for alcohol at certain liquor stores here* and I'm a regular at the brewery and at the Jackpot, so I don't even get charged the cover for shows there (plus drinks on the house).
I do, however, get carded for cigarettes.
*They don't card females ;)

I've never been carded in my life. Of course, I've looked like upper twenties or early thirties since I was fifteen. Unfortunately.
I'd say your lucky. When others are old and grey, you will be able to throw back your boyish head and laugh in clear defiance of Father Time -- and his wrinkles.

I was asked for ID when I went to eat at the RSL club and I didn't even go to the gaming area. The lady thought I was 12. I felt insulted.
