Rojo - You did have a school ID in Junior High, did you not?

Somebody who lives in your area won't really need that with a school ID though - for the most part, they'll know they can assume that kids from there fall into a certain age group. Anyone producing a Junior High ID here will be age 13-14 because those are the ages of the kids who are in the grade levels covered by the school.
I've been carded for purchasing WD-40. Go figure.
The strangest carding occurrence was when I was 19. My boyfriend at the time was 25, and we went to a club together. It was an over 18 club. He got carded and I didn't.

I had a similarly odd carding experience around that age.
Back when I was 20, I went to a local club in Berkeley with a couple of friends who were both over 21. It was in January, and students were starting to return to the city after holiday break. So this club I had been to many times was carding everyone that night. My friends showed theirs with no problem, but both figured that I was going to remain sober that night.
I was not so daunted. I had dated a waitress that had worked there the year prior and knew the types of waitresses the owner hired, even though I didn't know the one serving us that night. I also knew that the best way to bullshit someone is to not look like you are bullshitting them. Someone who was under 21 would have found some excuse not to show her their ID, and she was likely instructed not to buy any such story. So I pulled out my ID and handed it to her.
Now, back in these days California had just started to post the year someone turns 21 over above their picture. My birthday is in October, and I had just turned 20 about 2 and a half months prior. But it was the January of the year I would turn 21. And I knew she would think that anyone who wasn't over 21 wouldn't bother showing her their ID.
So, she looked at it long and hard. She saw my birthdate. She saw the current year posted above my picture. I watched the confusion on her face as she was trying to do the math in her head. She said to me "You just had your birthday?" And I said "Yes, I did." So she returns my ID and serves all three of us our drinks. I give her a big tip too btw.
My two friends stare at me aghast as she walked away. One asked "How the fuck did you do that?" and I said "Jedi mind trick."
These are not the droids you are looking for.
Seriously? What's the point of that?
I've been racking my brain trying to come up with a reason why any state, county or city would prohibit the sale of beef jerky to minors.
Any ideas? Anybody?
(Sound of crickets chirping)
That happened to someone ahead of me in the supermarket recently. Asked to show ID for buying one of the Harry Potter movies. Poor guy.
I would've just walked off.
Well that's because they wanted girls in the club.
I still get carded sometimes, mostly for alcohol, and occasionally video games.
Never got carded for a PG-13 movie, though.

But then I wouldn't have been able to buy the movie.
I got carded yesterday buying compressed air to clean the dust out of my hard drive...
Kids are known to huff the vapors from that, so at least it's understandable.
Still trying to figure out why minors can't buy beef jerky though.
