The power of a law school t-shirt

I haven't even started law school, but I've already witnessed, first-hand, the crippling effect a "prestigious" law degree has upon those who think way too highly of lawyers (or to-be-lawyers).

I went to Blockbuster to rent "Dreamgirls" and "Adaptation."After waiting in line for some time, I finally got to the cash-register and handed the Blockbuster employee my membership card.

"Sir, your Blockbuster Rewards is due to cancel next week. Would you like to renew it right now?"
"What? I just started this program last week."
"No sir, it says right here that you are due to cancel next week." He sounded agitated.

At this point, I stepped back puzzled; trying to figure out if this guy was pulling my leg or actually being serious. Just as I was about to ask for his supervisor, I noticed his eyes widen.

"You're in law school?"
"Uh....yeah."
"I see...(awkward silence)...ummm...let me write a comment here, cause there has clearly been a mistake. I'm sorry about the trouble." He was cordial.

My jaw literally dropped at his sudden change in tone and attitude. When I momentarily stepped back, he saw my t-shirt that had "Law School" written in big bold letters over my chest area.

Sad, ain't it?
