I don't think I've ever had a moment where I've felt this uncomfortable before...

I went to Canadian Tire last night (just a big hardware store for you Americans) to pick up a new set of windshield wipers.

I took them to the front counter and the guy started to talk about dungeons & dragons, role playing games, hit points, attacks, when he started playing and that he's forming a guild.

Up to this point, all I've said is hello. I didn't know how to react (or even how to carry this particular conversation because even though I know of RPG's, I don't know anything about them). I just kind of stood there, with an akward smile, then said "have a good night".

Now there's nothing wrong with playing these kinds of games, or even talking about them. I just don't understand why he would choose this topic to talk about.

I wonder if he was gay, thought I was attractive and didn't have anything else to talk about.

Oh well... at least my wipers work well :p

Maybe you just have that sexy basement of the science building look.

You probably look like a dork and he took you for one of their kind ;)

Doubt he thought you were gay, sounds like he thought you were as nerdy as he is.

stealth-edit: is that seriously the most uncomfortable you've ever been? Live in a bubble? :p

The way he was talking and the sound in his voice instantly made me think he was gay. Talking about D&D only made me think he was a nerd :)

He was looking rigt at me when he was talking, so I'm pretty sure he was talking to me. I suppose it is possible he was talking to someone else though.
