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.

Yeah because making star wars references tend to help with the ladies...

I'm more of a Trekkie, but I wouldn't want to date a girl who didn't know what Star Wars was anyway. I don't care what she looked like.

Girls like that aren't even worth giving them the time of day.

You're clearly a real charmer. Maybe the next one will get the joke, buddy.

She's not worth it if she hasn't heard of Star Wars.

It says OP is from Norway and the cashier probably never heard of it because she lives in NORWAY. Thats like saying a person from Africa knows what Star Wars is and they probably don't.

Comparing Norway to Africa is pretty much not right. Star wars was released December 1977 in Norway. Norway is the same run of the mill average first world country than any other one in Europe and the US
