Stories of unsurpassed brilliance
This "Week" The suggestion comes from Kroney who muses
"Whilst I was passing through Miami airport at the tender age of 21, I fancied a beer. "ID" said the charming Southerner behind the desk, so I got out my passport and showed it to her.
"You have to be 21," she said. Now this confused me slightly as I had been 21 for several months by this point and my date of birth was staring her in my face.
"I am 21," I replied helpfully "it says so there, look"
"You have to be 21", she said getting angry.
Cut a long story short, I argued, the manager came out, I argued with him before I finally realised that they weren't looking at the date of birth at all. They were looking at the date of *issue*
That would have made me an annoyingly precocious four year old. What examples of unsurpassed mental genius have you experienced?"""""""

Now you see I always wondered what the etiquette really is here
I thought it could be quite paradoxical in a way, well if I were to be handed the incorrect amount of change and not check and put it straight into my pocket with all other change...do I really have he wrong change?
I dunno there's something there, some majestic epiphany but I am fucked if I am gonna get it

If you're given the wrong change but fail to realise that it is wrong, is it still wrong?
Yes, it is wrong. Whether or not you notice is irrelevant.

Why is it "wrong"?
It is accepted by both parties participating in the transaction.
