“I am a woman who has recently bought a house in the local area and I’m having a housewarming party, to which I’ll be inviting a lot of the local adults”
Who wears there name tag on there jacket 🤣
Yeah back in the day it was easy to buy booze at 16. Shit, some pubs just didn’t care and neither did the shops. Now if you dressed up at 12 then I’d be impressed.
I have seen this meme many times, but only today I realised how stupid is the name badge… she has a name badge on the COAT not on the jacket… something that nobody would ever wear name badge on.

I used to get served in a pub in my town at the age of 15, I didn’t drink but would fetch them for my parents and others, eventually the barman starts chatting to my Dad and asked if any of the kids in here were his, he said “Yeah him, you’ve been serving him beer all night” Dudes face was priceless.
Everyone had a local boozer back then who was happy to serve underage people. The police turned a blind eye unless there was trouble.
Same with the local shop. Always somewhere happy to take the money. The routine was wait until the shop is empty, put booze on counter, straight face, if by a miracle they asked your age, look straight on ’18’. Job done.
In high school, my buddy’s grandpa died and he raided his closet. My buddy had and “old man face” so we leaned into it. He’d hobble into the liquor store on weekends to buy us cigarettes. Even gained a rapport with the guy who owned the store and came up with a fake backstory and name. It lasted until one of us turned 18. The poor shop owner thought “earl died, because he doesn’t stop by anymore”. We told him our buddy was his grandson.
The girl in this photo is probably in her 40s now. That’s how long this has been going around
What did she buy? Not Drambuie and expensive crisps I hope
We used to take our blazers off and replace our school tie with one from our dad’s to try to get served as school boys

This sub gets some funny stuff on it but there’s a good, 20-ish memes that are reposted constantly.
I had a mate (18) who was a couple of years older than me (16, obviously). He looked way older than 18 and never got asked for ID, so I always used his. I think we used to use birth certificates back then (I’m well old now).
He was born in Germany as his dad was in the armed forces. First time I used it the bouncer at the local club recognised the German town ‘I’ was born in as he was born there too and had a dad in the army.
Whilst I struck up a friendly rapport with the bouncer over time I had to pretend to be [mate’s name] for ages until we found somewhere new to go / I turned 18.
We had a big 18th birthday badge and would take it in turns to wear it into the shop. Worked nearly every time.
