Today, I brought a fluorescent tube to the store to make sure I got the correct replacement. Trying to charm the sexy cashier, I waved the tube in the air, saying "I need a new light sabre, there is no force left in this one and the Empire is attacking." Turns out she'd never heard of Star Wars. FML

OP here. I did not try to pick her up - I am a 42 year old married father of three and even if I wanted a date I have enough knowledge of the world to know that hot twentysomething blondes prefer hot twentysomething hunks - but I did try to make her smile, and failed miserably. And my geek level is so low that I read paper papers and constantly need my twelve year old son to help with my Iphone. (Plus I`ve never seen the sequels) I realize the girl probably lacked humour more than Star Wars knowledge, but what the heck. My wife laughed her ass off when I told her, though, bless her.

Well if it makes you feel any better I found your comment quite clever, and it would have definitely impressed me.

I call shenanigans! I've never seen Star Wars myself, but I haven't heard of a single person who hasn't heard of it.

Thank God she didn't know! Otherwise she'd think you're a geek

One does not simply not hear of Starwars. She honestly probably said that to make the fact that she isn't interested in you a little less painful. And maybe spare your feelings in front of a line of people.
