Chatbox II: The Rebirth

And then there is me who can't even remember last time carded

 

Short memory? I was quite a bit older than you last time I was carded.
(But I did thank the waitress who carded me )

 

And carded means...?

 

Asked to show an ID card as proof of age for alcohol (or tobacco) purchase or consumption. Legal minimum age for alcohol use in the USA is twenty-one years.

 

Oh, right. You mean ID'd.

 

I am turning 31 in 24 days

 

I am turning 17 in 6.

 

I'll be 56 in 17 days. The last time I was carded was just about 7 years ago.

Admittedly, it was not a brightly lit establishment.

 

I got ID'd for a 12 certificate film a couple of months ago. I was nearly 20 when I went to buy this DVD. I was not impressed.

 

In Australia if you look under 25 they have to ID check you. (Shops, clubs etc)

Which is nt fun when you look younger then you are....i had lots of trouble when i was in my early 20s. With the new rule, im still going to be carded for naother few years.

 

I'll be 19 in just under a year.

 

My brother wasn't getting carded when he was 18, and the legal drinking age is 19.

 

I love how young people get angry when they do get carded and old farts like me get bent when we don't!

 

Because people like to look like young adults, not children. When people our age get ID'd, we interpret it as people looking at us like we are children.

 

What Rei said.

Especially as in this instance I was buying a 12 film, and I look a heck of a lot older than 12. The beard might be a giveaway.

 

I don't believe the UK takes the same firm stance against underage use of alcohol and tobacco as the USA does.

 

I think all people, regardless of which side of the ID line they are on secretly, or not so secretly, crave to look like young adults.

 

It depends where you are, Cog. Where I am getting hold of alcohol underage isn't easy after a crackdown by the council and the police, but in other places it's ricidulously easy (the girl I was seeing until recently was 17, so that's how I know).

Another problem is fake ID. It's incredibly easy to get hold of a false driver's licence. People are wary of my (perfectly legit) licence, simply because they see so many fake ones and I'm not the oldest-looking individual.

 

-tries to go along with current topic-

I've never had a fake ID, never been carded (no need, I only became legal back in April and haven't bought anything 'adult rated' yet) and have never drank, unless you count the small champagne I have every year at New Years Eve. But I know friends who have fake IDs and people think they're legit. -bleck-

So, um, totally veering off course here, I'd just like to throw something out there. I got into a massive fight with my ex-boyfriend on Facebook over nothing whatsoever, and took the entire conversation of him trying to bash me and posted it on my notes on Facebook. It was the most perfect form of revenge I have ever had, and in the process I saw the real monster Michael was. I'm very glad I didn't continue to follow after him and want a relationship with him; he's nothing but pure poison. /end rant

So... how's everyone? Monday's pretty much over, hurrah!

 

I'm doing a friend's powerpoint for her. *shrug* It's easy, on an illness I already know.

 

Im ripping about 300 cds, for someone on the cartrip home (godbless vans where i can sit in the corner rip cds, surf the net and not drive!) yay to me.

 

awesome!

 

em- what is the powerpoint on?

speedy- that's pretty friggen awesome! CD=music=

 

Pneumonia.

 

That certainly explains the revenge fantasy story...
