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
hclagopus tells us more.
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 find her lack of culture disturbing.

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.
