I get carded for a variety of reasons. My height (I'm 4'11"), my hair (I recently got bangs and they make me look a bit younger), etc. I'm 27, so I'm still in a reasonable range for carding. But Saturday, I got carded for a brand new reason: my voice.
I walked in, grabbed two 6-packs of beer, and put them on the counter. He rang them up, I handed him my debit card. He asked me, "Credit or debit?" and I answered, "Debit." That was when he asked for my ID.
See, when I talk to strangers, I use my "polite voice," which is a bit higher than my casual speaking voice. I don't do it on purpose, and sometimes people giggle when I talk to them normally but answer the phone in a completely different voice. It's just one of my quirks.
Apparently, my "polite voice" also makes me sound younger. I actually got carded because I "sound" young. I find that hilarious.
Anyone else have any funny reasons for getting carded?

lol Paul often gets carded just because he's with me! I find it funny when they card me, I keep telling myself I'll like it when I'm in my mid-thirties. lol
ReplyDeleteI have gotten carded, and then asked for additional ID as my license picture almost never looks like me (in my current form).
ReplyDeleteI have brown hair and no bangs in my license pic so I'm surprised that doesn't happen to me, lol. I keep telling myself I should be flattered!
ReplyDeleteWow! Maybe I'll try speaking in a higher voice, though they will probably just laugh at me. haha!
ReplyDeleteYeah I'm sure it sounds fake when I do it but I can't help it, lol. It's also my "phone voice."
