And one from a thick chavette I once worked with...
I was talking about a Babylon 5 convention I was going to, and she told me she wouldn't watch that because she hated science fiction. Being a sad obsessive fan, I tried to convince her with over-simplistic arguments.

Me: Well, it's not all bug-eyed monsters like Star Trek. There's a big story to it - it's a bit like Lord of the Rings (this was WAY before the LOTR movies came out)
Her: Oh, I like Lord of the Rings
Me: So, you should try Babylon 5
Her: But it's science fiction. I don't like science fiction.

I gave up after that.
