>be me, working at video rental store
>girl comes in, "do you have The Raven? I need it for an essay for my class"

>me: "well it's about EAP"
>girl: "yeah but it's just the movie version of his story, right? I just don't want to read it."
>realize she has no fucking clue what the story or the movie are about
>grin evilly
>me: "yeah, this is the same thing. it will seem strange at first because he wrote it and he's also the main character, but that's just part of the story."
