Quoth Kirundist View PostYou can't buy guns in the UK.
Honestly the best way to deal with something like that is martial arts. No weapons, if they are close enough to you and are threatening you then its self defense.I am so SO glad I was not present for this. There would have been an unpleasant duct tape incident. - Joi

Quoth Captain Trips View PostI like getting carded. I guess I look under 25. In fact, I was just carded a couple of weeks ago.
BTW, I'm 54.

Quoth kibbles View PostI love getting asked for ID simply because it means I look younger than 25!! And how stupid are people who say "well I will buy it for them"..instead of being discrete! :S
It does suck that the law requires you to card for regularly used every day items. It it just for aerosol deodorant or any deodorant??

I am so glad you are out of there. You totally do not deserve any of that crap. I can't believe your manager didn't call the police over Mr. Roid-Rager. Big muscly bully threatening a skinny girl a third his size, he ought to be ashamed of himself and quite frankly, he belongs in jail.
I'm another one who doesn't see the point of flipping out over being asked to show ID. It's a little plastic card that fits easily in a pocket, it's not like it's eight feet across and made of lead. You pull it out and show it to the cashier, who most likely does not have a photographic memory and isn't trying to steal your identity or rob your house or whatever you're so damned paranoid about.
While I do think it's a little silly for aerosol deodorant to be an age-restricted product, I didn't write the law and neither did you, but everyone has to follow it. I know why it is, of course; idiots trying to get high. Same reason Sudafed is prescription-only here when it used to be over-the-counter. It's an annoyance to law-abiding citizens, but it is the law and it must be followed. Screaming at the cashier over it does no good and only makes the screamer look like an asshole.I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

I always treat these idiots like I would an unrestrained dog on the street. You clear your mind, clear your facial expression to as neutral as you can, relax your shoulders, step back one pace and lace your hands at your front, making sure you keep your eyes fixed on theirs.
Like most savage animals, they rely on scaring their prey. And they "feed" off your fear, getting their pleasure out of knowing they've frightened you. Treat them with the same sarcastic disdain you would treat a loose animal.
