While it might be a liberal use of the word "cliché" I think it applies: I assumed I was fairly unique in recognizing LEGO as an influence on my career choice, but in fact it's common enough among programmers that this woman cites her lack of LEGO experience as an example of why she isn't a programmer.
Yup, I confused the two. But I still think it's a misuse of the word cliche to characterize a common life-experience as one. It's a word best suited to creative attempts.
