Fun at Wally World.

[hopefulnebula]

Whoo. Just ran down to the local Wal-Mart *shudders*. As much as I loathe Wal-Mart, it's kinda the only place to get a lot of things. Anyway, they're running a contest where if you bring a cart in from the parking lot (and there are loads; more outside than inside), you can enter to win a $25 giftcard. So the 4 others with me and I decided "What the hell, it's possibly free stuff" and entered. I was last to sign and the little old lady greeter walked up to me. The following conversation ensued.

Greeter: I'm sorry, young lady. You can't sign that ticket.
Me: Why not?
G: You're not 18.
Me: Yes, I am.
G: No, you aren't.
Me: *sighs and pulls out ID* See?
G: But you don't look 18. (to one of my friends) Does she look 18 to you?
Friend: Yeah. Kinda. I don't know.
G: OK, young lady. You can sign.

Am I the only person I know who *wants* to look older? And whatever happened to common courtesy? I understand being carded. Happens all the time. But why can't people say "Excuse me, may I see your ID?" instead of "You're not 18."?

Morons.

I may x-post this at mock_the_stupid later on. Let me know if it's mock-worthy. Maybe just for mocktheignorant.

I get this all the time. You are not alone. LOL I've had people think Mark (my hubby) is my father. ;) Believe me I understand!

That cow was pretty rude. She deserves the mocking

Dont worry. That sounds a lot like my sisters problem though. Her and I went to a 14a movie. Me being 15, and my sister being 19. She got Id'ed TWICE! I didnt get ID'ed once. I think its funny how it was a 14a movie. She can also still get the under 12 breakfeast discount, then she drives away!!

People are neat. That's all there is to it. Mock away! :P

Although, I guess I wouldn't mind being carded now... people always think that Mom and I are sisters. I'm not sure whether to be horribly offended, or pleased for Mom. x_x

Ha ha ha... Lizzy, I realize I'm kind of late in responding, as I just today read your last 20 entries. But I love that she felt that she had to inform you that you aren't 18. Like, "You aren't 18, sorry." "Oh damn, you're right! Oops! Glad you were there to let me know..."

[aeroaddict.livejournal.com]

[hopefulnebula]
