it may not be a necro, but it is a nergo.
why are you guys complaining? you were the ones who wanted to yoyo in public. don’t act like you’re entitled to not deal with people who don’t know what yo-yoing is like today. you can always choose to leave the yoyo at home, and obviously it is worth the “annoying” question, or else you wouldn’t be doing it.
if you guys want to perform, then perform. if you can’t deal with the questions, leave it at home.
Exact same!!! Lol
He has a very valid point…
I hate when I’m yoyoing and a foxy lady comes up to me and asks for my number.
Especially when I’m practicing for a contest and I’m in the zone. It just breaks my concentration and I don’t appreciate it.
The best thing I heard from this hot girl was, “I would do anything for you to yoyo” I was like :o ;D
Yep, I feel extremely awkward when yoyoing in public, like the only reason I’m doing it is for outside attention, which is also what the people viewing you think as well.
For me it’s when the say “can you do the clock?” what they mean by that is cats cattle. It annoys me that the don’t know the right name
You mean the Cats Cradle, or rock the Baby as it more commonly referred ?
This thread is full of loss, honestly you sound like a bunch of whiners whining.
Why do you all care so much what other people think ?
Trust me they don’t, and won’t, ever, invest that much in you.
The last post caps it off nicely though.
I gotta go to K-Mart
How is it a complaint? We are just stating what annoys us. Another way to put it is “whining” but I don’t see how we are complaining. Plus you most likely have a few things that annoy the heck out of you.
I don’t go out and ask for people to annoy me. people can’t very well annoy you if you aren’t throwing in public.
oh, and whining=complaining.
“My friend that goes to competitions is better than you”
Non yoyoers don’t annoy me but these three things do:
If yoyoing in public doesn’t bring you joy, and you have difficulties with people that have a different perspective than yours, just don’t yo in public.
It’s kind of like sticking your hand in the fire and then being surprised that it is hot. I really don’t mean to sound harsh, in fact it makes me laugh when people get upset about such things. I just think that a lot of the negative vibe we get is partially our own doing. I just can’t accept the idea that yoyoers are destined to be victims.
Complain on. Maybe it’s cathartic. 
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I’ve NEVER run into these people. And I yoyo in public all the time. Not for attention (though, I’m not attention-shy) but because I don’t like having idle hands. If I wasn’t yoyoing in public, I would have my nose buried in an Android game of some sort. Well, I do that, too, mind you. But I like to have a yoyo so that I can practice whenever.
If I really just wanted attention, I don’t think I’d be letting the world watch me fail at the latest trick I’m practicing, I’d just stick to the ones I know.
Which I also do, when someone comes over and seems interested, or if a young kid has their eyes glued to me.
These “non-yoyoers insulting me” things… Maybe because I’m an adult interacting with the world at large rather than a young person interacting with other young people… but it just never, EVER happens. IF someone approaches me at all, it is absolutely invariably to say something positive.
I think way earlier in the thread, I admitted to finding it a bit off-putting being judged for the money I might spend on a yoyo, though. But that’s by friends and family and never usually in TOOooo judgmental a way. Nobody in public seems to ask or care.
Dude dude dude dude!
I get that all the time and it makes me feel bad… ;o; they all like “hah you suck at it I can do it better… you spent 100 for a yoyo and it doesnt come back! your dumb!”
I don’t yoyo in front of anyone anymore…
That’s the most annoying thing that non-throwers tell me. Staying right on topic.
its not Yo-yo related dude.
That’s not a real yoyo…
