sharpies
May cause brain damage - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever

when i was scoring shirts i came across this one and remembered something...

last time i was buying some sharpies i was asked for ID
apparantly you have to be 18 (where i live) to buy permanent markers. some weird new law.

kids already ask me to buy booze, now they'll be standing outside of art and office supply stores asking for markers.

THATS ALL
sorry for wasting your time

Ha, that's hilarious... i guess it's to prevent sniffers... but you can buy them at any age at the store, i think

it was really weird. i wasn't expecting it.
the girl was jsut like "do you have some ID on you?"
and i just went "WHAT!? why!?" because i was at an office supply store so i wasn't expecting that.... and then she pointed to the sign that had pictures of different permanent markers and mentioned its some new law.

Wow! But if they had to ID for everything you can sniff and get buzzed off of, the lines at Home Depot would be even worse. What a crazy concept! Let people fry their brain cells, if they want to. You can't buy spray paint anywhere in the city of Chicago, but last time I checked, sharpies were still available!

Wow, if they had that law here, I'd be arrested for possession...I have like 40 sharpies. (I don't sniff them, of course)

One time in 5th grade a girl in my class accidentally sniffed white out and said it made her dizzy and that she kind of liked it, and we all called her a druggie.

Yea, here too.. You have to be ID'd for stupid things like rubber cement and nasal decongestant here. :(

Are you serious? It makes sense though (in some weird way) because I know lots of people who use them for vandalism.

Doesn't stop you from going onto the Office Depot or Staples website and buying a big box of 'em, though.

when i worked at michael's arts and crafts, we were told to card groups of teenagers buying spray paint, but we kept all the airbrushing stuff locked up. one time, i caught a couple of junkies trying to break into the airbrushing cabinet with a t-square.

however, there were no rules limiting the sales of markers, not even the smelly kind that were all the rage in grade school.

i miss those smelly markers.

I have to ID people buying spray paint at the shop where I work - but since it's only store policy and not the law I rarely ever do. But vivid markers?! Now that's extreme.
