I give advice when not asked.

redneckzilla:

I just referenced Rain Man and my roommate looked at me like I was lying to him or something. And I was like “Rain Man? You know? The iconic Dustin Hoffman movie? Tom Cruise?” And he was like, “What are you talking about?”

I was in awe. Am I wrong in being near offended? Was I stupid to take it for granted that not everybody in the entire world has seen Rain Man?

This is perfectly acceptable. The film itself won 4 Oscars and it’s been reference numerous times in popular culture since, most obviously on The Simpsons and most recently in The Hangover.

I say move out.
