Conversation with coworker at lunch
Tim: I didn't peg you for a sci-fi/fantasy or comic book fan.
Me (thinking): Don't say it. Don't say it. ... You know what comes next.
Me: Why's that?
Me (thinking): What is wrong with you!
Tim: Well you don't look like someone who's into that stuff.
Me: ::hard sigh:: What's that mean?
Tim: Well, there's not a lot of sci-fi fans who wear flowers in their hair. [laughs awkwardly and stands up]
Me: What? Am I not allowed to have layers? [insert fake laugh I use to pretend I haven't just been insulted by someone's prejudicial garbage]
Tim smiles and walks away.
Me (to myself): Lying ass. That wasn't what you wanted to say.
