Um, can I see your ID?

It's supposed to be a huge complement to be carded at the grocery story when the cashier asks to see your ID when buying age restricted items; Implying that you might possibly not be old enough to purchase the item. (With the age restriction usually being 21+ but sometimes it's 18+.)

This is great, right? You look younger than your actual age.Well, not for me!

I was carded the other day for a rated "R "movie. First of all, I didn't even think twice when I purchased it because I have been over the age of 18 for almost 6 years now. Second of all, I'm 23, how in the world do I possibly look like I'm not 18 yet??? I didn't even realize that the movie was rated "R" so I was even more thrown off when the guy asked, "Um, can I see your ID?" I was like, " For wha...." then realized that it had to be because of the movie.

So anyways.....I guess it's just another paradox...I want you to think I look young when I'm trying to buy alcohol because the age restriction is 21+, but I don't want you to think I look young when I'm trying to buy a movie that is restricted for those under 18. I know, I know, I'm difficult but it's true!

Come on, someone has to agree with me!
