I used to work as a student services person in dorms, and one evening I'm doing my rounds and I see this kid walking around in the hall with a glass of dark liquid. Now I am a total kill-joy at this time of night, in my life. So I go over to him and he's about 17 (so under the legal age in anyone's books) and I ask him what he's got in the glass. First he tries to say it was Coke. So, I ask to smell it, and then he says that it's Vanilla Coke and that it will smell funny. So I smell it and it's obviously a rum and coke. So the kid's not doing too badly, he's under the legal limit and he's just lied to me. So, when I tell him that it's definitely rum and coke he comes back with "No it isn't."
So I reply "yes, it is."
He asks "Are you calling me a liar?"
So I could say yes and call it a night but I try to be polite, big mistake. "I'm not calling you a liar, but your perception of what you are drinking doesn't match with my reality of what you are drinking."
He replies, "You said in the house meeting that you don't drink, so how do you know this is a rum and coke?" Trying to be clever.
I say, "Because I grew up in a pub."
The little idiot then has the cheek to say, "Well, it can't have been a good pub then."
