Recently I have been really into sprucing up my apartment. A lot of the furniture in my apartment is black, which of course meant that the existing light fixtures had to match.

After deciding that spray paint would be the best way to achieve my vision, I headed to Home Depot. What I did not know, is that all the spray paint is locked up behind a chain linked fence to prevent teenage theft. When I asked an associate to remove one of the cans for me, he asked to see my ID. My ID has been expired for months now and I have no drivers license. It was all I had, so I gave it to him for review. Needless to say, he did not accept the ID because it was expired and he did not believe I was of age to purchase spray paint – which is 18.
