>Meet cute girl.
>Find out she's into drama and that she'll be performing in a play.
>Ask if it's one of Chekhov's plays (Since he is literally the only playwright that I know other than Shakespeare, and I didn't want her to think that the only playwright I knew was Shakespeare).
>She tells me that it's not by Chekhov and that it's called Waiting for Godot.
>I mistakenly think that Waiting for Godot was written by Pere Goriot and tell her that.
>She looks at me as if I'm actually some retard.
>Tells me it's Samuel Beckett
>Things get awkward, she leaves a little bit later.

It still haunts me to this day, /lit/.

That was a riveting read. Do you have any more such bangers?

Asking 'is it one of X's plays' is stupid for any value of X. If someone said they watched a film would you randomly ask if it was one of Spielberg's? You wouldn't, it's a silly question.

You should have just asked her what play, what’s it about, and what role she plays. Women like to talk about their own things anyways.

I'm so sorry, OP, you are actually some kind of retard.
Beckett's Waiting for Godot is one of the most famous plays ever. It's one of the only plays even an illiterate would know. How did you miss it?

This story is about you going full retard. There are no redeeming qualities in this story. It's not interesting, fun or surprising. Just another one of your retarded episodes. Please next time preface your post by saying "I am the pere goriot = godot guy" so that I can avoid reading garbage.

i watched a student play where they had genderbent casting, but kept switching between the pronouns from the original source text and of the actor playing the role. very confusing.
