I work in a shop and as far as I know quite within my right to ask anyone who looks under 18 for some form of I.D,so why is it whenever anyone is asked for I.D they insist of giggling like a small child and saying to their friends 'she asked me for I.D!'!It just make me think even more that they are underage! Ok..............rant over..............thanks for listening

Because of my height (or lack of) and my baby face (not so much now after the fags & cigs!) I always got asked my age. I actually took it as a compliment and always made sure I had my driving licence to hand so no embarrassment. I think if they giggle it's defo a sign they're not old enough. Saz

I asked someone for I.D today,he was giggling with his mate.............he was older than me!lol

Probably nerves and a bit of embarassment.

I worked in a supermarket and if I thought they were under age and if they giggled I wouldn't sell what ever it was (usually beer/wine) until they had either an over 18 card or driving licence/birth certificate. Really annoys when they say ''I AM OVER 18'''.andtry to embarrass you. I would get the manager because if you sell booze now it's a fine for the sales assistant. Sue

He gave me the I.D in the end,but some of them go crazy,u ask them then they swear and slam the door!silly kids!

Hi BB, I would take it as a compliment, out here if you want to buy cigs in Walmart regardless of age you have to show ID. To buy alcohol they have the right to ask for ID up to the age of 35. Debs x

I got asked my age in a pub only 3 years ago when I went to buy a pint. Was 27 at the time, now I've reached the ripe old age of 30 I suppose I ought to start taking remarks like this as compliments lol.

I haven't been asked but a friend who is about 8 months older has. Quite funny to the group as he's so child-like. A mate who is a month youger than me is about 6ft 3! You just can't tell these days.

Hi my daughter who is 21 is always asked for id in a certain shop. Luckily she hinks it's funny. Sometimes she goes into town on the train - as a child - and then goes into the cinema to watch an 18 film, so it works to her benefit! lol Claire

my boyfriend is twenty, the other week we went to southend with my dad s.mum and brother and sisters, they are all under four which meant that they had to have someone over fourteen take them on the ride, my fella got stopped and was asked if he was old enough. he gets asked ID all the time but he doesnt mind. i hate it when people gettin annoyed with being asked xx

I work in a convenience store who insists we ask for I.D. if a person looks under 21. This is for alcohol and more recently firework sales. Friday night is a nightmare. This together witn cigarette sales ,aerosols, superglue, adult magazines etc. etc. People don't realise that when you are really busy you have about 10 seconds to glance at somebody's face then you have to make your mind up if you think you need to question their age. I normally just grin at them and say that I wish I still looked under 21! Kath
