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.

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

I find her lack of culture disturbing.

Trying to charm the cashier while using Star Wars. I didn't realize Star Wars was a pick up line now.

Maybe he was just trying to break the ice and make her laugh

She's not good enough anyways. Star Wars is amazing.

Sorry, charm and star wars don't go together.

Exactly! Star wars references are not exactly "charming"

Lesson 1: do not flirt with girls using Star Wars references.

Proud "Loser" right here! Haha Jokes on you pal. If you haven't watched Star Wars you have no excuse for hating.

The lightsabre act may be a little nerdy, but seriously, who hasn't heard of Starwars?!

I read that as fluorescent "lube" and wondered why you were trying to charm her with lube...

Star Wars doesn't interest some people and that's ok. We all have things we like and dislike.

It's perfectly ok but how on earth has she not heard about it ? It's like the president of the USA, the FIFA football world cup, or the french fries ! Everyone know about these things whether they like it or not
