Lupinus' thread reminded me that a couple weeks ago I got carded at Home Depot to purchase some concrete repair caulk. I was at the self check-out, scanned the caulk and it popped up and said ID/age verification required. I asked the clerk, "For caulk?!?" she said something along the line of "kids do crazy stuff these days." How on earth could caulk be abused in such a manner as to prompt Home Depot to card for it? What other strange stuff have you been carded for?
-
If they're putting caulk up their nose, I want to see the mug shots.
Or is a drive-by caulking?

Maybe they're putting into the locks at school? (Senior pranks gone wrong...)
-
What do you think one uses to apply caulk?
It's for the children, you see...

Did the self checkout thing at Wal-mart a couple of days ago.
*BING*
Computer Screen pops up the ID/age verification required.
For Super Glue...

If you think that's bad...
...I got carded for buying eye drops at Walgreens.
They have it behind a locked shelf now.
Eyedrops.

I got carded for buying spray paint several years ago. It was a new city ordinance that I learned about at the checkout counter.
I had a brief discussion with the cashier, and she said the new law would help curb gang activity in the city.
Mind you, this was in the suburbs where the most serious crime committed most days was petty shoplifting or running a red light.

About six years ago, WalMart carded me for a sharpening stone. No knife, just a sharpening stone.

Don't go off half-caulked, they just want to make sure you can seal the deal.

You guys must really look sinister . . . I've bought everything from beer to ammo at Wal-Mart, and have never been "carded."

I did get a funny look one time when I bought a happy greeting card and a gasoline can.

It's not just gangs, it's about grafitti in general. A lot of places just don't sell it anymore.
-
Been carded for a tiny can of wood putty before. At Wal-Mart, naturally.

Well maybe it is because you make Moses look young.

A good joke should not go un pun ished.

Yep, in Chicago, Spray paint (like guns) are banned. That's why you'll never see any graffiti in Chicago and there are no shootings . (something like only 13 this past weekend as opposed to the ~36 the previous weekend.)
-
I was carded for buying WhiteOut and compressed air cannisters.
What the heck is wrong with all the freely available and fairly inexpensive drugs like pot, pills, shrooms, coke and lsd?
Are the kids these days that cheap they can't buy a decent "real" drug to get their jollies off?? That they have to resort to all these off the wall
substances to catch a buzz.
I mean I'm made to feel like a criminal just because I have a runny nose!!
-
If somebody from China used it, would they be Caulkasian?

So a few caulk-suckers ruin it for the rest of us.

Who dies and made LSD and coke 'fairly inexpensive'?
-
I bought some decongestants and not only got carded, but they now keep them behind the counter?

That's been that way for a couple years now. Anything that has pseudoephedrine in it, you have to take a card to the counter and get it, and you're only allowed a few boxes.

I'm new to this- why?

It's a key ingredient to making Meth. Of course, the druggies could never find another source. Oh no...
-
Yeah, you know, like... getting every member of the gang together to buy the maximum allowable pseudoephedrine products from a variety of stores across a few miles. Or buying from Mexico, Canada, etc. Or just using a different precursor. Or just making the meth IN Mexico or Canada and bringing it here.
Well, at least meth use and production decreased, right?

[jedimindtrick]There is no meth problem, pseudoephedrine has been controlled so meth can not exist[/jedimindtrick]

Shortly after the law requiring that Sudafed, etc. be kept behind the counter, the brave and noble Sheriff of DuPage county, John Zaruba, sent his deputies out and promptly busted about five or six clerks at local Kwik-e-Marts for brazenly flouting the law by still having Sudafed and other sinus relief drugs out IN FRONT OF THE COUNTER
.
I mean we wouldn't want to waste taxpayer dollars (and endanger deputies) by actually , umm I don't know, going after Meth Labs......
Meanwhile he's got the full blown Delta Force style SWAT team, a V-100 Armored Security Vehicle http://www.dupageco.org/sheriff/special%20operations.htm and an Emergency Response/Urban Assualt Winnabago. http://www.dupageco.org/sheriff/homeland%20security.htm
Oh, and he's against Concealed Carry and "Assualt Weapons" in private hands..... Shocking, I know.....
-
He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666 (Rev. 13:16-18).
It's got to start somewhere.

I got carded for buying 3-in-one oil.
That's right, a small bottle of light viscosity, non-aerosol, vegetable based oil. How the *heck* one abuses that, I have no idea.

You could slip and fall on it and sue them?

I walked into someone's stupid zone at Walmart last week while attempting to buy Sudafed for my son. The pharmacy attendant asks "What type do you want?" To which I unfortunately reply "I don't know, it's for my son and wife, I never use it." He then asks me "Is your son under eighteen?" "Yes, he's seventeen" I state. To which he replies, now get this, "Well, you can purchase it for your son, but, your wife will have to come in and present her own ID to purchase it for her use!" You've bloody got to be kidding me!
So envision with me, if you will, a partially consumed 48-count box of Sudafed 4-6 hour in our family's medicine cabinet. My wife queries me some evening, "Honey, do we have any Sudafed in the house?" Can you imagine her surprise when I reply, "Well yes, honey, but, you can't have any because I purchased it for our son using my ID. You'll have to go yourself to the helpful professionals at Walmart's pharmacy to purchase some using your ID! Oh, and pickup a copy of George Orwell's book 1984 while you're there, I haven't read that one in a while!"
-
Or even better your son turns 18. Now he cannot use that either since you bought it for him while he was 17.

Me and several of my navy friends were questioned and carded as we were checking out of a local grocery store, with 6 cans of aerosol whipped cream and a large bottle of Robitussin each.
That was a strange night.

"Don't Ask, Don't Tell," at work here.

"What type do you want?"
Which type is the better Meth catalyst? I want that one. The look on his face would almost make whatever happens worth it.
