When I went to London last year, no one IDed me so I thought "Wow, they must think I am too sophisticated to be younger than 18"... until someone pointed out bar staff are more slack in London than they are here. I prefer to believe the former.

I know it sounds nuts but I've always wanted to be short
.
I'm 5'4" and I teeter between wanting to be taller and shorter all the time. I know what you mean about the age thing. I'm older than my husband and whenever we go out (okay the 3 times we've gone out in the past year 
) I always get asked for ID and he doesn't.
How old is he?
I'm 32 and he's 28. So I don't think I'm a cougar, if that's what you're wondering.
Hee, I was actually.

I get that a lot, don't worry.
I'm 36 in a few weeks. I plead to be asked for ID. It's quite embarrassing really.

When I turned 18, I was in college and ran across campus to a place that sold cigarettes, just for the chance to be carded. I bought a pack of Marb Reds and wasn't asked for ID. I was so depressed I smoked the whole pack in one sitting. 
A couple of years ago I went to buy a pack of beer at a local mini-market and was delighted to be asked for ID by the young shop-girl. I made a big thing of proudly revealing that in fact I was in my 30s, only to leave rather deflated when she told me that it was the owner's weird policy to ask that of everyone buying fags or booze.

Yeah, know what you mean. Where I used to work we had to proof everyone, regardless of age. I kept getting these letchy old men asking me, "How old do you want me to be sweetie?" 
Or 300 year old women who were genuinely flattered that I asked. 
How old do you want me to be, sweetie?
Well, if you actually pay attention to me and take me out once in a while, you can be whatever age you want...
