This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Are identity cards not used in the USA?
nah we all just know Identity Dave, or I D
They are, normally a driver’s license. This doesn’t seem to have much connection to reality. Most places have a policy that if you look under 30 they ask for your ID. Unless the ID looks fake that’s all they do.
They are but some clerks are extra suspicious. When I was 24 (coincidentally!) I thought I definitely looked 20-something, but I walked into a liquor store and tried to buy some vodka and the clerk took my real, legitimate ID, squinted at it, accused me of not being the person depicted on the ID, held it under the UV light that reveals the marks that are supposed to make it hard to counterfeit, squinted at it some more, took it in the back and started making a phone call...
I thought she was going to call the cops on me, but eventually she came back and sold me the booze.
My wife is a short, soft spoken woman in her 30s and people still refuse to sell her scratch offs because they think she's too young.
Ok, so which alley did you buy the ID in and what type of animal fur was the dealer wearing?
Mine says "McLovin"
