Almost every time. Legal age here is 19 and I'm 21. They are supposed to ID under 25 or 30 depending on the establishment, but some people my age never get carded. I even been kicked out of pubs after I turned 19 before they even asked for ID.
I bought some scratch and wins the other day and was asked for ID (same age, 19). People tell me that I look about 15 or 16.
The worst part about it is strangers always wanting to get into a conversation about school. I cannot count how many times I have gotten asked what grade I was since I graduated high school. And I've gotten talked down to by peers before as they think I'm younger. It's really frustrating because this is all they want to talk about.
I have a cousin who is 17, but looks a few years older. I am waiting for the day someone thinks that SHE is the older one.
When I was 20, I was waiting in a restaurant with my parents and got asked if I needed a kid's menu. Part of the reason I think this could have been is that I got my dad's height, not my mom's. My mom's side of the family is really tall and my dad's side is short to slightly above average. Both me and my dad I slightly above average, but I am shorter than my dad because I'm female. So maybe because I'm shorter than my parents they assumed I was a child?
