They’re Already A Sore Loser
(This occurs when I am in college. I enter my dorm and I am walking to my room when I pass one of my housemates. Note that I am wearing a t-shirt with the sentence, “How about a nice game of chess?” on it, a reference to the movie “WarGames.”)
Housemate: “Hey, I didn’t know you played chess!”
Me: “What?” *looks down at my shirt* “Oh, no. It’s a movie reference. You ever seen WarGames?”
Housemate: “No.”
Me: “Oh. Well, uh, okay. See ya.”
Housemate: “So, do you want to play chess with me?”
Me: “Nah, I don’t play chess. I’m terrible at it.”
Housemate: *suddenly becomes hostile* “Well, you know, you really shouldn’t be wearing that shirt if you don’t play chess! You’re giving people the wrong idea about you!” *walks into his room and slams the door*
Me: *weakly* “It’s… a movie reference?”
