I'm 22 and most people think I look like I'm 16/17. I think I could at least pass for 18 but my family tells me otherwise
Apparently it's because I don't wear makeup but since I'm not going to do that I guess I'll just look really young

I'm 26 and I often get mistaken for 20. I think it helps my app during the cycle because the experience I've gained certainly makes me a stronger candidate. Not going go lie tho it's embarassing when I go to interviews and some applicants are 20! WTF! I feel ancient!

I am sometimes confused as 18 - I get carded almost all the time..casinos, bars...haha, but I don't think anyone's story could top this one. Ready? Here goes..
I went to Trader Joe's food sample section and was just about to grab a sample when...
Food Sample Lady (FSL): (pulls paper plates back) "Nah uh uh young lady, where are your parents?"
Me: (confused look)
FSL: "If you are under 14, you need parents to try seafood items. You could be allergic to them!"
Me:
"I'm 22."

LOL. I got something like that once at a movie theater a couple years ago... some PG-13 movie, I don't remember which one. I thought it was hilarious. Then recently, for District 9, they asked my friend if he had a guardian with him. He pointed at me (lol).

I'm on par with you here.
I was at Costco and browsing the samples.
Me: -reach for a sample-
Food Sample lady: Are you over 15? You need a parent with you, dear.
Me: -so flabbergasted- What? But I'm 21!
Food sample lady: ....
Me: UM wait actually, NO i'm 23!
I was just SO surprised to get asked that ... I meant to say I passed the 21 age mark a WHILE ago which is the last big age restrictment. I've gotten carded for movies and alcohol, but man, that took me by surprise. I don't think the lady believed me, but she let me take one. Otherwise, I'd have had to pull out my ID for her....same here.

I just turned 30. I definitely don't look 30, at my interview they saw I was from a university down the street and said, "Oh you must've just walked over from the dorms." Uh, no. I have 6 and 7 year old boys at home!

Deuce deuce! Unfortunately I'll have to stop saying that when I turn 23 in May.I'm 22 and most people think I look like I'm 16/17. I think I could at least pass for 18 but my family tells me otherwise
I'm glad there are lots of people on here who look really young. I purposefully try to look older and it doesn't work.
At the hospital I volunteered at you have to be 16... I went to security (it was a children's hospital) and asked to get a pass to the volunteer office. He asked me if I was sure I was old enough to volunteer so I told him I've been old enough for 6 years!

I always mess up and immediately pull the 21 defense too! LOL Then I'm like oh no wait... I'm 23, I mean... I'll be 23 in May... and then I look like a liar.

Awesome. I'm rather jealous. I've never been fortunate enough to go on a cruise.. approx how much did you end up spending on it?? (if you don't mind sharing...
