    The gas station down the street from me cards everyone buying tobacco products, regardless of how they look. I saw some guy in his mid-to-late 30s get pissed about not being able to buy cigarettes because he didn't have his license.
    Thanks to my awesome hairline, I only get carded when it's a requirement at the establishment I'm at. Thanks to my baby face and impeccable sense of youthful style, if I throw a hat on I get carded more often than not.
     
  2. When I worked at a grocery store in my town as a cashier in high school I used to asked senior citizen women for their ID when they'd buy cigarettes. Almost always it ended with a smile and they lady saying 'Oh God bless your heart.' always felt good knowing I made them smile and helped them have a story to tell to their friends later in the day.

    As for me, I usually only get carded at casinos. Tbought it was cool a couple months ago when the woman I was seeing got carded at a bar and I didn't and she's 31 and I'm 27

    Got carded for beer last night at a concert, but that's normal. When I got back to my seats, three MILFy-looking women asked me if I was old enough to drink that. I'm 38.

    I was hardly ever carded in high school because I was pretty stout and looked older. Strangely I've kept that look for most of my adult life, and even though I've aged a bit, a lot of my coworkers are shocked when I tell them I'm well past 29.
    Last year though was the first time I was carded in years, entering a casino in Louisiana. I thanked the guy.

    I'm 24 but I usually only get carded in college towns or the occassional liquor store. Most of the bars I go to card at the door anyway, but the local pubs stopped carding me years ago. They also stopped carding everyone else because I'm pretty sure there were some 19-year-olds roaming around last time.

    I'm almost 25 but I'm only 5'0. I will be getting carded until I'm 50. I was at a minor league game (attending, not covering) and went to buy a couple of beers for my mom and I. The beer guy completely skipped over me in line because he thought there was no way I was old enough to be drinking. I think the only reason he didn't card me because he was already embarrassed that he skipped me in line.

    I was carded to buy WD-40 a few years ago. I was like...um...seriously? I've also gotten carded to get into rated-R movies.

    Got carded at 36 to buy a beer at the concession line at an NBA game.

    I remember thinking how cool I was at 15 to be able to go in to see a Nightmare on Elm Street movie because it was rated R, and not get carded.

    The ID'd you buying a DVD set? That's fucking ridiculous.

    I usually get carded at a local bar where they card literally *everyone* even the creeper who sometimes comes in.

    Last time I remember getting carded when it wasn't that situation was when I was 34 or 35.

    My favorite story of all time was when I was going into a strip club after I'd turned 29 earlier in the week. The bouncer let my stepdad through but carded me. I brought out my ID and gave it to him. He stared at it and then said, "you do NOT look your age!" (he emphasized the word "not" as he said that). When I asked him how old he thought I was, he said, "I thought you were pushing 20."

    Since I was pushing 30, I took that as a compliment.
