Celles - there are several places here who card everybody, regardless of age. We were required to do so when we worked concessions at the minor leage baseball games (fundraiser for my daughters' HS). There were older people who would get so angry when they had to show ID. I don't see the big deal if it applies to everyone.

<div>My MIL whited out her birthday on her DL because she is afraid of age discrimination. I'm surprised she hasn't gotten in trouble for it yet. </div>
I'm 21, and FI is 26. My birthday is right before the wedding, along with graduation. It's going to be busy. Woo
ETA: And I recently got asked if I wanted the children's menu at Friendly's. Seriously? It's for under 12. No way in hell I look 11. The waitress tried to backtrack and say "teens like you" want the kid's menu sometimes. Ok, first I'm not an effing teen, and second if I want the kid's menu I'll ask for the damn kid's menu. I get very heated about this, obviously. Carding doesn't bother me because I'm aware I look 18. Maybe 16. But not 11, that's 5th grade, FFS.
I'm 22 will be 23 in August. I have only been carded twice since I've been 21. =/ Kinda sucks. And I know I don't look that much older because I had a lady at my work ask "What are you? 17?" It's so conflicting! lol
H and I are both 27. 28 is creeping up rather quickly and I am not too happy about it. Most people think were are a lot younger though; H looks about 16 without his beard.
I'm 20. I'll be 21 at the wedding.
Most people think I'm much older because of my maturity. Everytime I tell someone at work my age I hear all about how I act 25+.
