Cerainly scary stuff! I had a girl ask me the other day if I ever want to have children again freaked me out. I hate all that kind of stuff!
Hehe Ive had two guys propose to me and I ran a mile!!!
I had no idea why they would be asking that (I was getting a chest xray) and I was so freaked out I just kind of stared at the woman all scared and she just looks at me and laughs, shes like, we have to ask every woman. I felt relieved then
Your right, its just freaky questions
Believe it or not, when youre a grown up, people ask you those sorts of things sometimes. It doesnt mean theyre expecting you to.
silly bitch didnt ask me last time when i had a bad throat though i was backa week later lol!
When My skin flared up with an allergy recently, they wouldnt give me steroid tablets because id had unprotected sex recently, not even knowingly pregnant. They just like to be careful sometimes and thats a good thing surely?
One time before perscribing me some antibiotics they asked if I was currently suffering from diareha I knew the relevence... but it was still an ackward question.
before my nanna's funeral the other week, we were round at her house and i was stood by the window. my nanna's brothers' wife was walking towards the window and when she came in she said she thought i was my mum. my mum is 30 years older than me! then i was introducing this same lady to my step-dad and she said 'oh is this your partner?'. :impissed:
but the week before that someone thought i looked 16 and i got ID'd buying alcohol in the place i work at and i'm 21. :grump:
yup, tis true.
a couple of years ago i was prescribed some pills for dizziness and nausea, and they asked if there was any chance i could be pregnant (apparently they can cause pretty serious birth defects). i said probably not, but yeah, i'm sexually active and no contraception's 100%, so there's always a chance. and they made me do a pregnancy test before i could have the pills.
it's my summer av :yes:
Even though the person next to the chump who was IDing me had just sold me beer, and I had Abbie in one hand and my car keys in the other.
Ok so 15 year olds can have a baby but how many of them can drive :yeees:
ETA: This post looks like Im talking about something totally different but I was carrying on from what Lucifer was saying
Seriously? I've never had that happen to me.
i have. quite recently, too
i have also had a door to door salesman ask if my mummy was in. although in the end it worked in my favour cause instead of squealing 'this is MY HOUSE you complete bastard why i oughtta etc' said 'sorry she's out', and he didn't try to extort money out of me :thumb:
and i have also driven into a petrol station in my car, filled up, paid with my credit card, and then tried to buy a pack of fags for my mate and been asked if i can prove i'm over 16 :grump:
urgh, me too. i paid for my petrol with my credit card and then was like oh, actually can i have a pack of whatever cigarettes it was my mate wanted and the guy asked me for I.D!! even though i had just filled up my car with petrol and had my keys in my hand which clearly suggests i am 17 at the very least!!
Only other times are for xrays.
Well thats my 2 cents worth.
So it doesn't matter if you drive up to a petrol station and fill up, then try and buy cigarettes or alcohol (even if you are 16 or 18 and look it) if you look under 21 then shop staff HAVE to I.D you - because if they get caught selling stuff to someone who's underage then the shop gets fined, the person serving gets fined a minimum of £80 and in most shops, the person serving also gets suspended from work - so it's not worth it.
I know it's embarrassing/frustrating when you get asked for I.D (I'm 23 in August and I get ID'd all the time) but don't take it personally - it's just the law
Ha, I always get ID'd for the lottery, though not usually for anything else. I can even get away with the scratchcards, but not the actual tickets. Weird.
It always makes me laugh, especially as you mentioned it's often the case that the shop assistant looks about eleven.
i don't find it embarrassing or frustrating. i find it ridiculous.
i have wrinkles, ffs
they have that on the borders application forms too. only they give you a choice. it was:
a. i am attracted to the opposite sex.
b. i am attracted to the same sex.
c. i am attracted to both the same sex and the opposite sex.
d. i would prefer not to say.
e. other.
other??? all bases covered there, surely? i spent some time trying to figure out what 'other' could possibly be...
Animals? Yourself?
I'd tick other :yes:
