    I really don't mind being ID'd because I honestly do look very young but they don't have to be so rude about it. Especially big bouncer type blokes trying to intimidate a 5ft2 girl. Respect. Not.

    Oh and smarmy bar people who ask my date of birth and then ask if I'm 'sure'. Losers.

    When we were buying our house last year, I took my mum along to the first viewing (cause she was fab at asking all the sensible stuff I wouldn't think of) and the seller happily informed us that there were lots are great high schools close by, so I was sure to find one I liked.

    :thumb:

    I do also occasionally get asked why I'm not in school, mostly by well-meaning old grannies, and I have also been IDed trying to buy OTC painkillers.

    I get occasionally IDed for buying a lottery ticket (for non-UKers - you have to be 16 or over) & a few weeks ago a bus driver asked if I wanted full fare (I'm pretty sure you have to be under 14 to get half-fare).

    I'm 26.

    I don't get IDed that often though - they tend to figure that if I was a schoolkid then the school I attended might have an issue with my bright red hair...:thumb: And I rarely buy alcohol so I seldom get people IDing me cos they think I'm 17 or something. If I had a natural hair colour & went out more I'd probably get IDed a lot.

    I um... don't get much shit like that.

    The only Rudeness here is from Chavs and directed back at them afterward. Usually a far better insult is returned if you can be bothered to think for the 3 seconds it takes to find a better one.

    If not, "fuck off ya cunt" works.
