Has A Decent (Dead)Pool Of Characters To Choose From
(I am a 25-year-old female. A male customer, probably around my age, comes up to my counter where I’m cashiering. I notice his t-shirt, which has several Marvel Comics characters on it.)
Me: “I like your t-shirt.”
(Customer looks at me and raises an eyebrow, like he clearly doesn’t believe I’d be a comic book fan.)
Customer: *pretentiously* “Yeah, a lot of people say that. The real question is, which one is your favorite?”
Me: “Captain America, although I also have a fondness for the Hulk.”
Customer: “My favorites are Thor and Wolverine.”
Me: “I also really like Deadpool.”
(The customer pauses and looks confused.)
Customer: “Which one?”
Me: “Deadpool.”
Customer: *clearly having no idea who Deadpool is* “Oh…”
(The guy behind him in line gave me an admiring look.)
