My husband bought beer at Wal-mart this weekend and he had to show his ID. The cashier told us that with the way the law is written here in the US ID has to be provided whether or not the person looks over 18. And she said they'd really been cracking down on it the past few years, so now she had to ID people even if they were 100 years old.

Ah, the joys of the American legal institution.... and here I thought I got ID'ed just because of my youthful looks.

Those Americans are CRAZY!!!

I get ID'd every time I buy Nyquil . I think it's hilarious!

I never got ID'd until I turned 18, weirdly enough. And Sunday night some bouncer had the nerve to tell me I look nothing like the picture on my uni ID. Dammit! I'm only 2 years older...

Hi Panneth! Good to see you back around. I missed you!

I'm sure you look different than your ID picture because of all the studying you've been doing the past two years. Physics must age you prematurely. Just wait until you have kids. I'm sure your lurid extracurricular activities are having an effect, too. Didn't I read in your LJ recently about you heinously torturing some helpless Barbie doll? I got a laugh out of that one.

Thuriniel, you mentioning Nyquil reminded me of another PITA at a store recently - a month ago we were all sick here with a flu virus so I had to buy cold medicine. All different kinds for three kids, of course - liquid, chewables, and then regular pills for my hubby and I, then daytime and night time versions of each one. When I'm ready to pay the cashier tells me that the law only allows me to buy three cold medicines within a 48 hour time period. Apparently people use the stuff to make meth or crack or something like that. They even put my driver's license # into the computer/register so that I couldn't come back and buy more. I had to go home and send my hubby back to the store to get the rest of it. I seriously doubt it did much to affect the crackheads production but it sure was a pain in my ass.

Again, let's hear it for the American legal system. It's just so efficient.

They didn't even figure in the 1.5 kids when they wrote that law. my bubby has really bad allergies and Tylenol allergy sinus is the most cost effective and effective antihisthamine, and when it's on sale, we bring friends to target so we can stock up! So stupid!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one over 30! I just turned 31 this year, but I think I should be allowed at least one year for each of my kids which would be a grand total of 36!

[wenont]

Try 46 this May.....

Whoever said that childhood years are the best years of your life was obviously lying!

Myself, into spring 2006, I turned 20. So, as I can say, I'm an out-classied because 20 appears to be nowhere in them... doesn't matter anyway, it doesn't make me cry.
