i dont remember ever getting carded really

but since a year or so, everyone in holland over 14 must be able to identify himself at all times, if you get caught without your ID and a cop wants to see it, you better pray he has a good day, or else youll end up going downtown :|

and i agree with slammedniss, i take my wallet everywhere i go, and i always have my ID card, buss pass and money with me

The USA looks to be headed down the same path, which bothers me a great deal. I really don't like the idea that I'm forced to prove I have the right to be where I am, as opposed to THEM having to prove I don't have the right. It's an innapropriate upsetting of balances of power.

In Ohio, they ditched the option to put your SS# on your license. About damned time. Anyway, I got carded when I bought BLADE at Walmart 7 years ago. I was 20 then.

I was in it when I was 16.

Actually in Jan I was carded to see Hostel. Funny thing is my GF's freind wasn't carded and she is like 17. As far as buying games/DVDs I have never been carded but I ussually go to places that know me when I buy games.

i was carded once buying a lotto ticket, which is odd since i've always been told i look to old to be a college freshmen.

on a side note i can buy anything wearing my army uniform. granted i never tried getting alcohol but i just find it funny that people assume you're over 18 when you show that military id. (you can be 17 in the army)

For me EB is right across from work. So I tend to almost see them twice a week, well... Not anymore. So they knew my first and last names. The only time I got carded was when I got Halo 2... I can;t BELIVE they think im under 18. Funny, I never got carded at target when I bought GTA. :lol:

Also, I always take my wallet with me aswell. At school you have to have an ID if they ask for it, or you have a detention. I also have my money in it, and some cards for some stores.

i dunno it was some older lady working i guess she didnt know i was with a girl we was their early so dunno but thats the only time it happened their

at the movies its rare it doesnt always happen, just for weird things it does. i was carded for a pg13 film once dunno what film that was but it was funny.


i'd say out of all the movies i've seen very few i've been carded to but over the past 3 years i'd say about 9-10 films with just that one time at the palace 20 being withsome who was seriously thinking i had a fake id

other than that i never get carded

I was carded once for a slingshot, I had to prove I was 16 years old (I was 19 at the time). I also was carded for spray paint, fuel injector cleaner as well to make sure I was 18.

Walmart is a little too strict I think on carding. I guess if your under 18 your not allowed to put fuel injector cleaner in your car, nor can you have any hobbies that involve spray paint.

I'm pretty sure fuel injector cleaner can be used for some DIABOLICAL purposes.

The cashier claimed it was used in meth labs. So as long as your 18 you can make Meth as far as Walmart is concerned?

Yea, that's what I was referring to. I guess they just figure if you're over 18 they can't really stop you and you have a better chance of using it properly.

You are under 18. stfu.

I never get carded because noone really cares. I go into R-rated movies and they let me in without even asking. However, if I let my hair grow out, I am asked to show ID, and then I am busted. Kind of funny.

Only thing I've ever been carded for in my life is tobacco, and that is only 30% of the time.

Ive once been Carded for "Cherry Coke" yes I said Cherry Coke?. I was about 17 at the time, and It was at my local grocery store where I used to work.. And it happened to be a cashier I had worked with . There was a guy in front of me getting some beer, and she asked for his ID. So after him she then asked me for MY ID? I thought she was joking or something so I busted out my wallet and flipped it open real quick like I was flashing a police badge. Then I put it back, and she was looking at me like she was gonna kill me, and she asked again "can i see your ID" Then I said for Cherry Coke? come to find out she thought it was Red Dog beer .
