Older people tend to like getting ID'ed. Just go for it either way.

It's very subjective. My wife kinda hates it. She's a good looking woman, but she certainly doesn't look like she's 20. She often doesn't carry a wallet - so if she's ID'd it can actually be annoying.

If she has a case on her phone could she put the id between case and back of the phone.

I was speaking more about people over 40. Some places require ID regardless of age and older people often find it amusing or flattering.

My wife is over 40 fwiw. She doesn't particularly like being carded. She may have liked it in her late 20s or early 30s but not anymore.

Just pointing out that it's subjective.

I teach an underwater photography class at a university. We were going to have a night dive one evening and a thunderstorm rolled in and we had to cancel, so we decided to go to a local pub that has great food.

There's a bouncer at the door, and he's checking all my student's IDs super close. He's bending them, shining a light through them, etc making absolutely sure nobody underage gets through.

I walk up behind my students with my ID out and he just nods and says "you're good man."

I never felt so old.

My ID picture is still the same one I took in my early 20s (almost 40 now), and even when I do get carded, 75% of the time they make a comment about how my "picture is really old," "I look really young," etc, etc which is always a punch to the gut.

I'm always relieved since I carry my wallet less and less. I've learned to keep it on me right after a haircut though.

Nah, I don’t want to be lied to
