Slightly embarrassing trip to Target yesterday

So, I realized a few days ago that my license expired...4 months ago!  I went to the DMV first thing Tuesday morning to get it taken care of, but for now, I just have my expired license that they punched the word "void" through until the new one comes.  (I have paperwork in my glovebox stating that I ordered a new one in case I get pulled over).

I went to Target yesterday to get a few things for a bbq we were hosting for some friends/neighbors last night, and I picked up some wine.  I don't drink while pregnant, but it was for the party.  I know I shouldn't care what people think, but I HATE the looks I get when I buy alcohol with my huge belly.  The cashier asked for my ID, and when I handed it to her, in front of the line full of people, she said "This is expired.  It says "void."  I felt like an idiot college kid trying to use a fake ID.  It was already bad enough that I'm 8 months pregnant.  She called a manager over to look at it, and he said "I can tell you're 30", and he put in a special code to allow me to buy it.  

I'm not sure whether I was happy that he let me buy it, or sad that he "could tell I'm 30."  LOL  But the entire situation was more than a little embarrassing.

    Isnt it just ridiculous that they wont accept an expired photo idea of you.  Especially when you look just like your picture.  I mean obviously its me in the picture and thats my birthday and signiture. 

    Why is an expired photo id an unnaceptable proof of who you are?

    Well, I will admit that more than one of my fake IDs in college was someone else's expired license.  So I kind of get it.  :-)

    I hear ya on this! Though I think if you have a credit card or some other form of ID as well it shouldn't matter...
