I was pretty surprised.....I had no clue you had to be 18 to buy some fucking lighters....what's the big deal.

Has anyone heard of having to be 18 to buy lighters? Do you kids under 18 get denied lighters?
The people hired to work at these stores know that you have to be 18 to buy lighters, but most people think this is a stupid kind of law and the managers or someone who's been working at the store for a while will sell you one without thinking twice, while new people working their think they would get yelled at for something like that. I've never been denied a lighter from a store, but some lady was messing with me saying "you aren't going to burn your house down with it or anything are you?" "No, just play with fireworks :P"
