  1. “When’s your birthday?”
    “22nd of February.”
    “What year?”
    “Every year.”

  2. I did this at 17 and all, worked about 90% of the time

  3. Yeah my dad did say I could just do that if I wanted to go out with friends, if you just show your ID confidently most bartenders will assume you are legal.

  4. I did this buying a DVD that was rated 18.

    If the year is close enough they will just accept it. Nobody has time to work out the months.

  5. It was 11.58pm when he asked and 12.05 when he walked past

  6. Modern cash registers eh? When I bartended you had to count everything in your head

  7. My favourite retort to being carded (at the age of 18) was a friend of mine faking outrage and shouting “I’ve been coming in here since I was 16!”

  8. A couple of weeks ago, I got carded while trying to buy alcohol free(!!) Guiness at Co-Op so I could make some Irish Stew for dinner. I am 42 years old…
