Mine was seeing a really nice cutlery set and thinking "thats a really nice fork". Also the first time someone made an age joke about me was very tragic.

I finally stopped getting carded a few years ago (I'm 45). Now cashiers will just enter a random date... one person chose to put my birthdate as 1962.

If it makes you feel better, some stores have a policy not to ID people over 65, so cashiers just put people's age as 65 when they don't want to bother to card someone.
