Money, Alcohol and Teenagers: Congratulations, you played yourself

Congratulations, you played yourself

By danielle - 23/04/2009 07:16 - United States

Today, my friend and I wanted to get some alcohol (we're under 21). We went to a liquor store and asked a random guy to go in and buy us some vodka. After giving him $20, he said he had to go turn off his car, then he'd get us the drinks. He got in his car and drove off, with my $20. FML

Sting

Today, when I went to the gas station to buy beer, some underage punk outside asked me to buy him booze. I told him to get bent, but the dumbass cashier had seen me talking to him, and refused to let me buy alcohol because, "This is obviously a sting." FML

Today, I asked a guy if he could buy me a pack of cigarettes, since I'm still under 18. He took my money, went into the supermarket, and must have slipped out a side-entrance, because he never came back. FML

Let em in

Today, I was waiting in the car while my mom went into a store to get beer. A few minutes later, some guy was knocking on my window, telling me to open the door. I started cursing him out, thinking I was getting attacked. Turns out he worked there and was putting the beer in the car. FML

Today, I bought a small bottle of liquor to share with my husband to celebrate our move. It took three hours at the store as the cashier, manager, GM, and a police officer checked my ID believing it was fake. I'm 25. FML

Today, I was at a bar with a friend. A guy came up to me, took my drink and drank it. I laughed and jokingly said "now, you have to buy me a drink." He said "I would rather buy your friend a drink." FML

He's a good man

By no booze, no boyfriend - 04/06/2013 20:31 - United States

Today, my now ex-boyfriend called me from jail, expecting me to bail him out. He'd tried to buy a load of booze at the liquor store and came up short by ten cents. The cashier refused to be short-changed, and he figured the only reasonable reaction was to punch her in the face. FML

Drink up

By whyme - 31/05/2013 18:47 - United States - Crescent

Today, my friends and I went out for drinks. I'm the only one who's actually 21 or over, and they have fake IDs. Not only was I the only one to be carded, the bartender thought that my actual ID was fake. I got kicked out while my friends kept drinking. FML

Today, I went out drinking with my friends. At the end of the night I got a cab ride home. I must have passed out because when I woke up I wasn’t at my place, but my parent’s house, which is the address on my license…120 miles away. The fare was $220. FML

Smart move

By Triedtobecool - 06/04/2009 02:22 - Canada

Today, I went to buy beer underage for a party to impress a girl. I picked up the case of beer and went to the cashier, he ran it through without asking for ID. I left the store with a smirk on my face, I arrived at the party and showed the case to the girl. It was non-alcoholic. FML

Reality check

Today, I finally turned 21, so my friends and I decided to go to a club. There, I met this hot waitress and we were really hitting it off. I ordered a drink. She replied, "No problem, kiddo." FML

YDI for a) trying to get someone to buy you a drink when you're underage and b) trusting random strangers wit cash. And I agree with #259.

1. You're underage… 2. That is a totally phony story. You should at least ask somebody you can trust if you're going to do something like that.

hey all you people, i actually know the girl who posted this; she told me to come look at all the responses. yes, she shouldn't have trusted a random guy to get her alcohol (i cede to that point), but come on! spare her the unnecessary lectures on underage drinking, get off your soap boxes, and leave your annoying, sanctimonious shit at the door. like wow, is the morality of the situation even relevant? chill out, yeah? we are all very proud that you waited until your big 8-0 to have the first sip of alcohol; however, some of us prefer to walk through life without the uncomfortable feeling of a giant stick up our asses.

You must be 12 too. Why should we condone ANYTHING illegal? You make a claim but then you don't provide any warrants to support said claim or even a reason as to why we should agree with you. Your only supporting reason is "you all have sticks up your asses". I'm glad that guy took your friend's money and I hope that you get taken in by the cops if you guys ever attempt this again.

its kind of nice to see that people trust each other enough to hand money to strangers. it was kind of stupid though. oh well, you're out twenty bucks and you need to find a new way to drink. good luck, have fun. and to those of you who are gettin preachy about underage drinking, why do you care? you know how many towns there are in this country where there isn't shit to do? kids drink and smoke, deal with it. all my friends do, and who knows, maybe i will at some point too. **** you guys for having fun and critisizing us for doing the same thing. also, OP, at least he wasnt a police officer.
