Cashier: “I don’t think I can sell these to you.”
Me: “W-why?”
Cashier: “I think you’re too young to be having sex.”
Me: “That’s absurd! I’m 20 years old!”
Cashier: “Yeah, okay. Prove it! Let me see your driver’s license.”

Old Lady: “Hey, you pimply a**-hole! Just let the girl buy her stuff. She’s trying to buy contraception to have safe sex instead of risking an STD or a pregnancy. Even if she was younger than 20, and I believe she is telling the truth, you should still sell them to her to prevent another teenage pregnancy! On top of it, we are on a college campus! How many young teenagers do you see around here? Most of the people who shop here are 17 or older! Just give her the d*** condoms!”
(The cashier wordlessly scans my items and bags them, and takes my cash.)
Me: “Have a nice day, jack-a**! Oh, and I’m paying for her stuff, too
