[QUOTE=NeonpieDFTBA;52145488]Well there's a reasonable chance his point of view would do the job if ever implemented :v:
In all seriousness though, what the fuck happened with The Jack that taught him that murder was the solution to disagreements!?[/QUOTE]
We were too mean to him in the Elder Scrolls thread.
So I was in Poundland who now sells things at 90p and some things are more than £1 anyway. There were three people, 2 older ladies and some lad.
One of their items was something innoculous by bladed (probably a pizza cutter, as that's what I heard being said), either he was making the purchase and had no ID or one of the women was making the purchase and everyone at the counter had to be ID'd.
Eitherway, he didn't have or didn't want to show ID and so stormed out with the bladed thing and left a pound. He later came back (the two women had stayed), argued some more, then stormed out, destroying a display stand with fragile stock in the process.
The manager was involved in all this and after he stormed out the second time she called the police. I couldn't really give any useful information that anyone else at the checkouts could so I left before they arrived.
just been ID'd for a pizza cutter, fucking pisstake, let them know what I thought, fucking May's Britain for you.

man i got fucking ID'd for a pack of forks at sainsburys a few years back and the woman reading my drivers licence was giving me suspicious looks and had to use a fucking calculator to work out if i was old enough (i was 19)
how sure do you need to be over a pack of fucking forks? she looked at me like i was trying to buy a fucking rocket launcher
ID'd for spoons and a 360 controller, not sure which is worse.
[QUOTE=The Genie;52149702]I got ID'd for a can of compressed air once. She asked me my age which threw me off and I blurted out 15 before remembering I was actually 19.[/QUOTE]
someone's been getting half fares

Happens in the US also. I asked a clerk at K-mart why and he got pretty nervous.
I know someone who was ID'd for a Red Bull once. I'm not bullshitting either. She was pretty short, but I've seen 12 year olds being able to buy Red Bull without a problem, but she was told to produce ID or no sale (she looked and was 16+).

lol christ this reminds me of the time me and my friend tried to buy some silly string when i was like 12 ~ 13 and the asda woman comes up and asks if we're 16+
my friend was all like "yea we're 16" giving me this look like i should lie about my age and i just loudly said "katie im not [I]going to jail[/I] over a can of silly string" put the can back and walked away
i cringe every time i remember this, i remember being so scared of ruining my life if i didn't tell the Gods Honest Truth.
My girlfriend got ID'd for bonjela the other day, the packet said 16+ on it. She's 26
some people can't use their common sense it seems
[QUOTE=Kiwi;52150602]I never get ID'd.
BTW I look like a 18 year old when I'm actually 22.
Like.
Come on...[/QUOTE]
For some reason if you're a woman you're much less likely to
I am 22 but look like 18 and just carry my ID everywhere now.
I'm nearly 30 and still carry my ID just in case my babyface-o-meter swings from "haggard old dude" back to "12 year old" as it does on occasions
My friend got a tad upset when the woman at the bar said she'd believe i was over 18 but not him despite him having taken a year out and therefore being half a year older than me (but sadly still looking 12).
I was tired and ID'd someone for a pack of starburst in work once. He got it out and everything.
Jay you lads have it tough. Only ever been ID'd going into nightclubs and only seen others get ID'd for alcohol and shite.
Starbursts are hardly that dangerous.
Edit: what the shite im not in the uk right now thia restaurant has weird internet.
we're taking you back into the empire laddy
grow a beard and never get id'd for anything ever again

Bonus is you don't have to buy razor blades
One time the checkouts at work buggered up and asked me to ID someone for a bottle of Pepsi
I got id'd during my moment of madness when I bought an airgun. But they need to be booked out, address taken down

They knew just how powerful Pepsi would become. It can stop riots! ...And start them. Make nations, or break them.

this is very true, i notice my rate of being carded in tesco increases dramatically after a shave
Its not all joy having a beard though, there are some downsides to having a beard; crumbs, eating yoghurts, going down on a lady requires extensive scrubbing and a lot of water
Sorry that was very crude and I feel bad

When i used to work at Maplin, there was some kids electronic megaphone thing which made you sound like a robot. Every time you scanned it, the till would ask if the customer looked over the age of 3.
I got ID'd for an energy drink in poundland when I was like 20, I said 'I didnt realize you had to be a certain age to buy them' and the oldish woman behind the till said something along the lines of 'yeah its 16 so that kids dont go drinking loads of them and start raping each other or something'

that's an unfair assumption to make
It's true that you get ID'd much less often when you have a beard, even if it's a really shit beard.
My best experience getting ID'd was when I just turned old enough to play the lottery, I went to my gf's local corner shop to get a lucky dip. The old lady that ran the shop knew who we were and how old we were but on this day she insisted on ID'ing me which I wasn't too pleased about but whatever.
Came back the next day to get my winnings (which was about £70) and proudly handed her the ticket. She had a fuckin miserable face on while she was counting my money out.

understandable, I had one of them when I was around 2-3 and I used to annoy the shit out of my dad with it. I would go around just going "EHHHH" into it as loudly as possible which, when coupled with the amplification of the megaphone, made quite the cacophony

I straddle the realm of shaven and non shaven by maintaining stubble. It's the best of both worlds really, no crumbs being caught and no ID.
