id
For probably the last time in my life, I've just been asked for ID while buying alcohol.

The conversation went something like this:

Cashier: Alright boss.

me: Hiya.

 C: Just these yeah?

me: Yes please.

 C: How old are you?

me: I'm, um, (tries to remember) 29.  I'll be 30 next month.

 C: Do you have any ID?

me: um... actually, no.  I'm going to pay with my own credit card,
    if that helps.
    And I know it's not actually ID, but I'm starting to go grey.
    See?

 C: Oh, right, yeah.  Well, had to check yeah?


I feel somewhat bemused. And slightly flattered.

I was one of Pete's housemates at Uni and can verify our birthdays are remarkably close together, I was however IDed buying poster paint for my sons' toddler group!
cashier: Is this paint toxic?
me: hope not it's for a toddler group!
c: have you got any proof of age?
me: (laughing) Not on me no
c: are you sure you're old enough to but this?
me: yes, I'm 29, these are my two children - one aged 4
c: ok, but next time you'll need some proper ID.

out in the car park the man who'd been sniggering in the queue behind me during the rediculous conversation above called accross to check I was old enough to drive home by myself.... it still makes me laugh now!
See yo soon Pete, get well sooner.
