This is exactly what happens to me. I actually don't find it flattering at all. I feel infantilized.

I am 43 and I get carded fairly often. I don't think it's because I look young (I certainly don't look 20!), I think it's just standard practice at a lot of places.

39 and rarely get carded. Friday's was known for it for a while. I was at Wolf Trap last night with a friend who is 35, and neither of us got carded. I don't look 39 but I don't look under 30 either.

I could care less if I get carded. However, at a Wizards game earlier this year, my friend who is over 55, got carded for booze. He has kids over 21, so naturally, I got carded. This was at a counter (as opposed to a vendor). My dad who is in his mid 60's finds it insulting if gets carded and has walked out of restaurants for that reason, alone.

You loved that? For your son's sake, please seek help.

I am 46 and sadly...My carding days are over.

The last time I was carded was three yrs ago.

Now...Sadly I don't even get a look as if the person is contemplating carding me.

It's pretty much a given that I am middle age.

*sigh*

30, and yes about 90% of the time. But I am super short and looked like I was about 13 until I was about 20. Not as awesome as I hoped it would be at this age.

I'm 32 I don't drink but I do buy lottery tickets I get carded a few times a year.

I am 51...in poor health, and sometimes get carded. But those are places that card everyone...EVERYONE. Wegmans, Whole foods in Fairlakes...

I turned 40 earlier this month, and almost never. I think there is a grocery store around here that requires the cashier to actually enter the birthdate into their register when selling alcohol--that's the only time they ask for my ID.

I am 43 and get carded periodically.

Yes but its not because I look 18. Many servers and bartenders automatically card as a practice, so don't flatter yourself op

Same here. Although, seriously, if I'm wearing something casual, I look like a freaking teen (face only, body is all middle-aged woman )

I just stopped getting carded recently - 41 - I'm short with a baby face. I had a rough 2-3 years at 37 and it aged me a bit.
