Eleanor went to vote in the Canadian General Election tonight. She handed over proof of ID and the woman gave her a rueful smile and said, "Oh, darling, you have to be over eighteen to vote."

Through gritted teeth, Eleanor said, "I AM TWENTY."

She gets this all the time.

Not sure if it's any consolation, but it happens to a lot of us. At home, where drinking age is 18, I last got carded two years ago. I also got carded yesterday in the US, where drinking age is 21. I'm 39 :) I've just...learned to accept it. At least the carding-in-shop-part. Not so much the part where older male clients question my professional competency on the basis of me looking young, but, well.

The latter bit sucks. So sorry you have to go through that :-(
