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.

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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

I find her lack of culture disturbing.

You never pick a girl up by quoting Star Wars

Nonsense. When she saw my car, my prom date said, "You came here in that? You're braver than I thought."

Not sure if I'd laugh or give you The Look. Keep on trying, man.

Oh my gods. And I thought my friend never watching Wizard of Oz was bad, but never hearing of Star Wars is even worse!

Either way you sound like a nerd

One, if she hasn't heard of Star Wars she's obviously not right for you. But Two, don't try to pick up store clerks, waitstaff, baristas, etc. They're there to work, they're paid to be nice to you, and trying to pick them up puts them in an awkward position where they still have to be nice to you despite the fact that you've just skeeved them the hell out by hitting on them.

Wow! you need to seriously reassess your definition of the word charm.
