The distinguished gentleman behind me in the airport security line reached for my boots as they came through the scanner.
I wasn't sure if he absent-mindedly thought they were his shoes or if he intended to chivalrously collect them for me, but when he realized I was reaching for them he pulled his hand back.
Because I am so incredibly jocular and downright hilariously fun to meet out there in the wide world, I joked,
"I know, I know. You want cool boots like mine."
He gave me a sideways, look (of horror) and in a tone just shy of snide responded,
"Oh, yeah. That was totally it."
Then, as I bent over to put on my very cool boots, I made a very impressive THUNK noise by slamming my forehead into the edge of the conveyor belt.
Everyone wants to be as cool as me.

Maybe they confiscated his Mello Yello and he hadn't had the daily sugar/caffeine fix that allows him to process humor. (Or maybe he needed a good bonk on the head, too!) =>
Everyone SHOULD be as cool as you
I thunk my head on the bottom of my loft almost daily in a vain attempt to be as cool as you.
Oh, I know I do!
AWESOME! I didn't know I was the only cool one in the area!
I so know that feeling. Mine is usually the overhead compartment on the airplane itself.
um ow, you have about as much grace as i do *giggle*
Were we seperated at birth?
I only wish that I could be cool as you and your mighty wind.
(snort).
Some people just don't get good humor. And we know just how cool your really are.
You rock.
I've done this. I'm so glad I'm not alone.
Who would thunk ther would be snide people in the airport.
We totally do. I am serious.
HHAA!! Damn it.
absolutely, totally 100% classic you.
He's a dick, you ARE awesome. And I hit my head on the corner of my kitchen cabinet this morning, so I literally feel your pain ;)
