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.

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

I know I'm gonna get lots of hate for this, but I have never watched star wars, but I have heard of it

I think the worst thing here is that OP thinks the force is measurable and containable...

You seriously thought that would "charm" her?

Remember a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Do not underestimate the powers of the Emperor or suffer your father's fate you will. the Force runs strong in your family. Pass on what you have learned. (give or take a section or so) (haha. does it make me weird if a guy does this in my store I'd play along?)

I just love the idea that the first thought after you made the decision to charm her was "I should use Star Wars". You best
