My husband was going to work one time and someone thought he was younger than he really is. He was 34 at the time or 33 and he showed the person his ID and he said it was a fake ID.My husband asked "why would I have a fake ID if I am over 21?" and the person said he maybe had it before he turned 21. Dumb ass.
But I told him he should take it as a compliment. The guy thought he was in his twenties and then wouldn't believe him when he said how old he really was.
The point is, Loup at 37 shouldn't have even been ASKED. I cannot imagine anyone of that age being mistaken for 17. early 30s, late 20s, but not teens. The shop-owner either was being a smartarse or maybe thought Loup's autism looked more obvious than it would to any of us. Either way, the guy should have known better.
But it's great to look young. I'd get asked for my ID when I would go to this video game place for free gaming because it be 21 and up only. I still can't grasp why it's an issue. If she were 67 and she got carded, then I would understand and also think that was bogus. I mean what kind of 67 year old would look to be in their twenties? I knew of one woman that age who looked to be in her late forties or fifties and I was shocked when she told me her age. She hardly had any wrinkles and she didn't have any gray or white hair. She had to show her ID to the bus drivers when she use her Honor Citizen bus pass though but that was different because those bus passes are for people who are 65 and up or for people with disabilities or veterans and she looks much younger than 65.
And it doesn't matter if you don't look under 21, they still card you because they go by their policy. Some places require their employers to card anyone who looks under 30 or 25. Uh okay.
My husband is 35 and he still gets carded. Sometimes he whines about it and I tell him it should be a compliment. He doesn't even look to be in his teens, he looks to be in his 20's but places here are required to card anyone who looks that young.
