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...

And why did you think this would impress her?

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
