    I’m 32 and it happened to me 6 months ago. That ego-boost is still lingering a bit.

      I’m 31 and it happens sporadically, but in the past couple of weeks I had one guy double-take because he figured there was no way I was that old and one lady who gave me a good ol’ “keep doin’ what you’re doin’.”

      The ego boost is necessary since my body insists on groaning every time I sit down.

      I’m almost 40 and still get carded a lot…

      Not at bars. They don’t care and haven’t since I was 18. But my chosen place to buy beer has a 100% carding policy regardless of age, so it doesn’t even feel nice. :( I just have my card ready before I get there so they are just like “ooh your totally on top of it!” That feels alright.

      About a week ago I got carded for a video game rated M. First time that’s ever happened in my entire life, no joke… I’m still salty about that.
