Yes I am socially inept

Conversation I overheard in the women's room today:

Girl1: [cleaning some lint off her black dress] I always seem to pick up white on myself when I wear black, and black when I wear white!

Response I started to give: Actually it's probably just that the lint and stuff is various shades of gray, so it appears white on a black background, and black on a white background... {this apparently is socially the wrong thing to say. I didn't actually say it because...}

Socially capable girl next to me: I guess the answer is to wear grey!

[both giggle and share some type of bond based on a mutual social understanding that I lack]

The end.
