Take that 7-11.

The other day I was carded for buying cigarettes. This hasn't happened in a long time, so I was actually surprised by it. What makes it worse though, is that I didn't have my ID with me because my friend accidentally took it the day before. Shamed, I walked out of the place without my cigarettes mumbling that I would be back.

Of course, I did not admit defeat. I walked back into the same 7-11 half an hour later, after driving out of my way, just to show the clerk my passport. She couldn't find my birthdate on it, so I pointed it out to her and said that I was 23. For good measure, I even stated that I could have bought a beer if I wanted to.
