Can you say the alphabet backwards?

[JustinTheGreat]

I always found it funny that police will ask you to recite the alphabet backwards as part of a sobriety test.

Like bitch…. i can’t do that sober.

Z Y X…. Uh…. Something

My friend has anxiety so I did a bit research that you have to give them something to engage with so they don't space out. Saying alphabets back is one of them and I made my friend do it so many times that even I remember it now lol.

There was actually a funny video where this police officer asked this drunk guy driving car to say alphabets backwards and he actually did that without stuttering! And that's how the police officer knew he was drunk lol.

[Rosexøxø]

Yeah I never *learned it backwards. So I have to say it forwards in my mind, in order to then say it verbally, backwards.

It may have been the same with numbers. 🤔

Back when I was drinking a lot I remember trying to teach myself the backwards alphabet in case I ever got pulled over by the cops. I got the first ten or 15 letters pretty good.

Thanks for the MHO

" the alphabet backwards"
It wasn't hard, actually.

[Rosexøxø]

clever 😎

[andreasderjuengere]

@Rosexøxø... ermmm... it still remains to be seen if a cop likes this answer as well :D

[IslaTheWitch]

yeah... I put a lot of effort into learning alphabet and counting backwards :D

just to be able to do it

[FreyaRed]

No. I'm not autistic. I would order the cops to go to their car and bring an alcohol measuring device they should have anyway.

[Rosexøxø]

XD this is big brain time 🧠

[NathanDavis]

I (still) can't do it sober... lmfao

my brain refuses to do so

[ZephyrFluer]

exactly. They really have to change that with something like the prime numbers 😆

[Douglas1180]

That would be too easy. You just use the sieve of Eratosthenes.

[DrPepper12]

Nope but I had a student who won the Pi contest 7th through 12th grade. He memorized Pi to the 170th digit. Still blows me away.

[dreamstar72]

I would say if you can do it then I can do it better. You go first starting with K.

[Fireguy17]

nope, I cannot.
I never had a reason to learn it that way.

[MemeSupreme]

is that supposed to be hard...

i don't get it lol

[Anonymous]

If I compose a song about it backwards then sure. I’ll do that in my spare time

[lorenzomichael]

Yeah but I have to be drunk. Shit because when I’m drunk, I can speak every language, known to man.

[Staximus]

I tell them to just give me the breathalyzer and get it over with

[Staximus]

I don't ever drive drunk because I used to always get pulled over

[QuestionObsession]

Should ask the fucking pigs to recite it backwards first

[uppityeye]

No but I can def be a smartass to the cops and say the alphabet backwards just to mess with them lol

[BarryLiverstone]

Tebahpla eht

[Douglas1180]

Yes, it spells WORSHIP SATAN.

[serious]

No, I can never do this successfully.

[WhitneySnow]

Yes but only slowly

[Becky93]

If that’s the case I’d be getting a dui or dwi.

[chrissykerdock]

probably not

[Kingofkings1992]

I cannot.

[Manuelwe]

Yes or take time

[Anonymous]

Yes I can.
