... &, no, it wasn't for anything exciting like cigarettes or booze. I went to buy canned air (you know the type you use to clean out computers) & I guess you have to be 18 or older to buy it.
I'm pretty sure the guy thought I was younger than 18- he was getting ready to tell me my mom had to come in to buy it for me (my wearing of Scott's high school sweatshirt, my unkempt hair, & converse might have lead him to the conclusion that I couldn't possibly be responsible to 2 babies).
However, I was able to whip out my ID & purchase my canned air... add this to the list of things I can purchase now that I'm an adult...
1. cigarettes
2. alcohol
3. lottery tickets
4. rent a rug doctor (yes, when I was 17 I was told I had to be 18 to rent a rug doc)
5. ... & now... canned air

I got carded for spray paint once when I was in high school. I want to go buy some canned air to see if I look younger than 18 - ha.
Oh the privileges that come with getting older...

You left one part out -- that, at the time you were unable to rent a Rug Doctor because you were too young, your rights to purchase a fire-arm at that age were affirmed. Rug Doctor=bad. Uzzi=good. Makes sense.
the next thing you'll be carded for is asking if you qualify for the AARP discount!
What the heck? Canned air really? How funny!
Last summer when I was going to go paintballing I went to the store to buy some materials--I got up to the counter for them to fill up the CO2 and the guy just stood there looking at me. I wasn't quite sure what he was doing and after what seemed like a couple minutes he just said to me in this irritated voice-- "Where's your ID?" I was really surprised--I hadn't been carded in a long time. Then he mentioned that I was wearing a high school shirt at the time--of course I was 18 in high school too so that logic didn't make much sense, but I was able to provide my ID without any further weird looks.
who knew?!
