dammit crazy foreign people, I'm fully grown!

I got asked for my ID at a grocery store today buying wine. In Vienna. Where the drinking age is 16.

SOMEONE THOUGHT I LOOKED 15 YEARS OLD.

I blame this on standing next to a really, really large man at the counter.

I'm going to go drink my wine and cry.

I'm 26, and I still get carded for cigarettes by people who swear I can't be 18.
I guess that's why people look at me funny when a 6 year old calls me mommy.

People are weird. I am still vaguely insulted, though further investigation has led to the belief that the age limit for the beverage I was purchasing was probably 18 (one can buy beer 5% and under at 16, and then things more potent are reserved for those over 18. Still you can get pretty damned drunk on beer.)
