Oh, here's a little gem I missed.
Because it couldn't have been how you dressed, right? There's a very nice lady who works at the GameStop near my home who dresses like one of those people who would willingly work in a clothing store forever. It's not that she doesn't look like a gamer. Hell, I could never figure out what the 'gamer look' was. She just seems to be, and acts as though, she's out of her element."I was working with a male co-worker one weekend and I was processing trade-ins while he was ringing up customers. The line grew longer, so I decided to help out. I asked the next kid in line if he had any questions. He just pointed at my co-worker and said, 'Oh, no. I'm waiting for that guy.' My co-worker asked, 'Waiting for me? Why?' The kid said, 'Because you look like a gamer.' Being a girl had apparently disqualified me as a 'gamer.' "
In reality, she kicks ass at FPS games.
