Semi-Rant: Age Verification

[Iffy]

Why don't da vaping vendors just start their age/birthday verification with 1996?

Do ya'll realize dat I have to click/page down at least four times to reach 1947? Dese day-um clicks add up, ya know! Dey could save me at least half-a-click each time if had my way...

Wha...? Why am I so edgy, ya ask? Did ya know dat KY Jelly doesn't go well wid creamy peanut butter on Melba toast? So much fer moi buyin' any more jelly/jam from Kentucky! Even dunkin' it in' OJ didn't help...

Sorry... may I suggest...

Yeah. Clicking to verify your age is foolproof.

South Park did that episode where one of them agreed to become part of a Human Cent-iPad by clicking "I Agree" on an Apple site. lmao

I can understand having an age 'verification' - those shady lawyers have to weasel their money from someplace. What I don't get is why you have to enter a date on some sites. Legally speaking clicking an "I'm over 18" button gives them the same amount of protection. On the sites where they make you enter your birthdate, I don't think I've ever been born on the same day. If I was, it was purely by accident. Aim for anything in the 80's & you're fine without having to scroll very far. You don't earn bonus points or free shipping for being born earlier or entering your real birthday.

*sigh* Was hoping fer a senior discount...

 

[turbocad6]

yeah, I'm always born on jan 1 and some random year in the 80's too

 

[Iffy]

Apparently I'll never be headlining ECF Comedy Central...

Nonetheless, it is somewhat amusing what da 'trigger' is fer sum folk here. That's not counting da lack of appreciation of senior life humor. NEVER ferget, someday ya'll gonna be where I am (excepting my seniors)!

Gray and pink hair power forever...!

Hey Iffy, I appreciate your humor. I might be 24 but I really enjoy hanging out with the older generations. One, because y'all are smarter than me. Two, because if I'm not nice and respectful my mama will find me and whoop my . Three, because younger people(my age and younger) really get on my nerves.


noone is old till they reach 90, you are young till 50 and middle aged till 90 at least that's my philosophy.

 

[Iffy]

Hey Iffy, I appreciate your humor.

And I truly appreciate your appreciation! Ol' fart humor is just da truth with a bit o' honey to ease some of da bitter tastes of life.

Here's to ya...

. And this is for your Mom...

OK, gotta ask... why is it da older I get, da younger ya'll are?

 

[Papa_Lazarou]

I'm down for your humour, too, Iffy. You keep on postin' and we'll keep on grinnin'

On a side note, I once listed my birthdate as 1917 on one of those forms and got told to quit goofing around (and routed to a 'bad behaviour' TOS page. I mean, THEY allowed me to pick it from the scroll list. Sheesh.

 

[Worzel]

Instead of scrolling, why don't they just have us type it in!


Sent from my bird in a moist little package

Aha, that's 'nother issue I have... five or more clicks to get to our birth year vs. four numbers entered from our keyboard. Besides, my keys are larger than their on-screen text. See? I knew it was a conspiracy funded by BP to push their pain killers!

Rubbish, and they want to put dis ol' fart in da 'home'? <wha...? Yes dear... I'll take my meds right before I go to bed>

For a few more years anyways. As soon as the kids born on 12/31/99 turn 18, I'll start picking from the 90's I never pay attention to what year I click on, I just aim for the decade like a drunken dart thrower.

'Youngsters' are 10 years younger than me, generally 'young' is my age & 5ish years on either side. 'Old' is 10 years older than me. Just to make sure I'm old enough, but never catch up to those old farts. ... Not pointing fingers or anything

One site sent me to Disney.com. Apparently they didn't appreciate me being born on May 41st. No TOS, nothing even on site. Disney.

In hindsight, it was pretty funny.

Here is my proposed age verification..... Yes or No. Are you of legal age to buy this product or smart enough to lie about it?

Actually most online vendors I visit do that.

Ditto. It's just the ones with the idiot lawyers that tell them requesting a date gives them some extra layer of protection... Oh well, gives you a chance to play drunken darts I s'pose.

 

[JerryRM]

Wow, you are really old, Iffy !!!!! I'm just a kid, a 49er, 1949 that is. LOL

 

[Iffy]

Punk!!!

Would you old guys tone it down in here please !
