To be fair you could of been doing your stereotypical growling and he just wanted to undermine you.
It's the easiest putdown bouncers can deal.

Re: I shall be 24 in less the 2 months time
My girlfriend's dad (mostly bald, rest of hair is grey, quite obviously over 55) got IDed in a supermarket. I laughed.

Re: I shall be 24 in less the 2 months time
I've never been IDed, which is probably a good thing as the only thing I have with my date of birth on is a military ID card, and I don't think many bouncers would appreciate that.

Re: I shall be 24 in less the 2 months time
I don't think I've ever been ID'd in my life, so hurrah!
Although I'm 24 and I look about 34

Re: I shall be 24 in less the 2 months time
I am normally more surprised when I manage not to get IDed. Tescos and Sainsbury's seem to be particularly lax on checking.

Re: I shall be 24 in less the 2 months time
Sometimes they have a quota to fill of people they ID each day. Therefore they do every few people or just ID people who look like they are obviously over 18 so they don't have any trouble.

Always happens me too if I shave before heading out. I'm 23 meaning the bouncers have a hard time believing my ID when I do show it to em.
****ers.
Certain places always try and find some reason to not let u in, here they usually ask for ID even if they know you're old enough. If you don't have it, then they have a 'legitimate' reason not to let u in.
Really came into it's own when they made it compulsory for all under 21's to carry ID if they enter a premises that servers alcohol after 9 PM.
If they dont have ID in a pub n are caught then they get a 300 euro fine (even if they are old enough to drink) and the bar gets a 300 euro fine (escalating up 300 a time for each offence) and the person who served them gets a 300 euro fine...
Who says we live in a police state huh?!

Re: I shall be 24 in less the 2 months time
I dont think I've been asked for ID since I was about 19........my lack of pub/clubbing may account for this.

Re: I shall be 24 in less the 2 months time
I got ID'd in the summer in Derby (I'm 21).
It was the 1st time in ages, but I'm always really scared with bouncers, due to the fact when I was under 18 I looked under 18 (I looked under 18 'til I was about 20 I'd say!) so it was always touch and go whether I'd get past the fat ****ers.

Re: I shall be 24 in less the 2 months time
since i turned 18 i have been ID'd approximatly once a year, last time i didnt have any id on me, but got the drink anyway by pointing out that i had more gray hair than the lady who was serving me, who looked to be in her mid 40's
She did at least have the grace to shut up and look embarrased

Re: I shall be 24 in less the 2 months time
I guess it was just a bit of a shock RR getting ID'ed going into a random pub when the bouncers at The Garage and The Shack (and Bamboo come to think of it) haven't bothered IDing me (when they seem to ID everyone) in the last couple of years *shrug*

Re: I shall be 24 in less the 2 months time
I've not been ID'd since I was about 17. London seems to be less strict than other places though.
They also ID short people more, on average.

Thats actually not true. For instance I'm 6ft 6inchs, when going anywhere with my friends who are all smaller than me I'm always asked for ID. I'm 24. I dont look young, i wish I did. I think the reason they ID me is because i intimidate them since they have to look up to me and this grates their ego's. I dont mind too much cos I always carry ID and my mates always laugh their asses off when i get ID'd.
The only time I'm never ever ID'd is when I'm accompanied by my girlfriend. I guess this falls under the girl-no id category

Re: I shall be 24 in less the 2 months time
I were on a trip to Newcastle with my school class one year ago. Me and some mates went into a pub to get something to eat in the middle of the day. I went over and bought me and another a beer and then I sat down again. Shortly after the bartender comes over and asks for his ID. My m8 looks REALLY young, but he's 19. The bartender said: "Sorry, you need to be 21." and then took his beer away. I just had to smile:
1. He got his beer taken away because of his young look.
2. I was 18 at that point

I've never been ID'd to get in to a pub. I was once ID'd for cigarettes - I was 21 at the time :(

Re: I shall be 24 in less the 2 months time
Ive never been id. Although when i was 17 i got my mate into my local pub which i frequented at the time, simply by using the "He's with me!" line made me feel cool.

i have never been ID'ed anywhere in newcastle, but one of my friends - who is 32 - got ID'ed going into trillians one night, and he didnt have any ID so they wouldnt let him in, the rest of us pissed ourselves, as our average age at the time was about 20
