Just had to revive this thread becaue something creepy happened to me today... It wasn't with a Tolkien fan, but it did happen in that section of the bookstore...

I was in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy section with my friends, looking at Tolkien, of course, [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] When this middle aged guy comes up to us and says "What are you cute girls doing in the science fiction section?" Now, you have to think about it...We're three 16 year old girls, and this scetchy older guy comes up to us like that... creepy! He was grinning and was like "This is the man's section! We never had girls over here before!"

...It was creepy for us, anyway. Needless to say, I stopped lingering, grabbed my books and headed to the cash register. Hmph... *shudders*
