I shop at charity shops for music and movies most of the time, and every time I've tried to buy a CD from this one charity shop and it has a Parental Guidance sticker on it, they refuse to sell it to me.
I'm 16. I've heard much worse than anything that'll be on a music CD, and yet I'm not allowed to buy it. I told one of my friends about this particular Blink 182 CD I got refused, so she offered to buy it for me. She also got refused 'cause she was 18 and not over 21.
It's happened multiple times and I've missed out on so many good deals on CDs I can't dream to afford brand new. It just pisses me off.
I wouldn't mind if it was law, but it isn't. I've looked up the laws on PG music and I've found nothing that specifically says anyone under 21 can't buy it.
Technically by now I could legally be living independently, working for a living, I could be married with kids, but I can't hear a song that has a swear word in it?
Just today I got told I couldn't buy a PG movie because I wasn't over 21. What. The. ****?
I was trying to buy Coraline.
I complained and they sold me it in the end anyway after I told the woman at the till to get the manager.
Just.. ugh. Annoying.
