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...

Well, that was kind of your fault, you don't charm a hot girl by making a Star Wars reference.

WTF? People in the Western world don't just "not hear of Star Wars." That girl is not worthy.

You seriously tried to pick up a chick using a reference to star Wars? Looks like she's not the only one living under a rock. I'm not saying no chick likes those movies, but in general, that's not a good way to go. Especially if the chick was super hot. Flirting and Star Wars don't really mix unless its a chick flirting with a nerd.

Chances are she was embarrassed and lied to you. Never watching Star Wars I get but never having heard of Star Wars seems a little odd
