Questions People ask you when YoYoing in Public that gets under your Skin

My number one question I get that really gets under my skin is…

“Is that a duncan?”

NO ITS A FREAKING YOYO.

~Z

Well Thats probably do to the fact that if your town don’t have a Local YoYo Shop (Mine don’t have 1 either) and the only YoYo they’ve heard of and seen in stores is The Duncan Butterfly or Imperial. So not realizing that you can purchase other brands online, they think that everything is a Duncan and is the only Company that sells them. That and probably growing up all they had and know of was a Duncan. Not everyone knows How Big YoYoing really is and how many Brands there are, Dang I didn’t realize how big it actually got when I stopped yoyoing back when Yomega 1st came out back in the day with the Brain. I just restarted about 9 mos ago and was in Shock to see how big it had become. So in all Reality you Should give them a Break, it’s not their fault they don’t know about yoyoing, But they are Curious and you can Teach them about the whole Duncan in Stores and Other Brands online unless you have a local yoyo shop. So Smile and Count to 10 before you say Nope not a Duncan, Tough Duncan makes amazing YoYo’s this is made by So and So and you will look more like a Cool Dude then a Jerk not wanting to talk about

I don’t mean to be rude, I’m just very curious… Why do you choose to capitalize random words? ???

It’s just how he types. I think it’s a nice way to put emphasis on certain words.

the question that always gets me is “does that yoyo have a motor” i always have to take a deep breath then explain about the ball bearing the only exception is when little kids ask but that tends to be “is that yoyo magic”

i only have one thing that truly ticks me off. it’s a conversation I’ve had before.

“How much did that cost?”
“WHAT? Why did you buy that?!?!?! 90 bucks for a stupid yoyo?”
“Can I try?”
“Why not? It’s only 90 bucks.”

I mean, it’s not that bad most of the time. I let my friend throw my Steamroller today because he can bind (had to teach him 2 school years ago in 8th grade), and yeah, it’s an $130 yoyo, but I didn’t really care. He was interested in throwing it, so I let him.

I don’t usually use anything expensive in public. My rule is if I don’t want people to use it I don’t use it in front of them. So I take a $10 aoda hill and river ever where I go and let people mess with it.

i don’t get why people who hate stupid questions are yoyoing in public. everyone knows that the stupid questions are going to come when you come across people who don’t know much about yoyoing, so why would you be surprised about it.

If I came across a 4 year old who didn’t know much about math, I would still be surprised if he didn’t know what 2+3 was

If I didn’t know about the number two, I wouldn’t know the answer…

If I didn’t know about bearings, I wouldn’t know how yoyos can spin for a long time…

Well for

1. English was my Poor Subject
2. As Q said it’s how I type and I also try to emphasis certain things I’m talking about
3. I’m also American and Not English, Plus us American’s like to Type they way we want, “You Say Tomato and I say Tomato”
4. It’s not misspelled and you can read it, Plus I’m not being Graded on it, lol

Well… I’m Totally Sorry for making this Post yoyodanny, I didn’t realize that everyone was not like you and are not aloud to talk about things that bother them. And as you can see -OO- Everyone has a little annoyance and like to talk about it. At least if we get it of our shoulders Here to each other and not out there to the people asking the questions, I would think it’s a little more respectful that way (IMO)

I’ve worked with a few Americans up here in Canada. They all said that they never realized how bad their English was until moving to the great white north. And apparently we do actually say “eh” a lot… cause one these Americans would say “B” anytime one of us would say “eh”… I heard the letter B a lot… Haha, eh.

Here’s how you answer:

Yes.

The question is “CAN YOU”, not “WILL YOU”!

Can you do it? Why, yes you can. Will you do it? Totally different issue.

Story:
I was doing sound for a band at a wedding. The band got tired, packed up early, got their cash and split. Wow, they got full pop for a half night’s work. Yet, I’m still obligated by contract to be there for 3 hours(plus a 3-hour strike). They thing I’m a DJ. I’m not. They start slapping CD’s on my console area, and ask “can you play this?” I say yes, and let the stack grow and grow. My contract states specific discs compiled by the bride and groom. These people keep getting angry with me(not the bride and groom though) because I am not playing their CD’s. I said I CAN play it, I didn’t say I WOULD play it. You asked if I CAN play it, not if I WOULD play it. Well, one guy got angrier and angrier and I showed him the contract with a “NO OUTSIDE MUSIC” clause initialed. He said “the bridge and groom want this” and I said “well, let’s go ask them about that right now”. As I started heading to the guests of honor, he backed down.

Note: his disc was also a CD-R and scratched up like he used it as a grinding wheel. I doubt it would play. People need to take care of their stuff. I got CD’s from 1990 in mint condition with minimal care.

CAN vs. WILL.

Well, I suppose you could say for walk the dog… throw a sleeper and say “oh, sorry my dog died”.
Around the world: Throw a Sleeper: Have you seen the costs of gas recently? I’m just going to stay home".

Bind. Return. Move on.

i hate it when people ask you to walk the dog. i know its a classic trick, but it can ding up a metal yoyo pretty bad. thats why i always carry my yoyofactory ONE arround so i can do walk the dog if someone asks because i dont care if it scratches it still plays fine. better than scuffing up my dv888.

I hate that question too. A while back, a guy asked my brother, while he was yoyoing with my yuuksta, if he could do the “walk the dog”. Instead of just saying yes, my brother does it. He was in a kitchen and the floor was tile ::). I think you get the rest.

This, my friend, is why I only let me use my yoyos

[pickle24 (M²)]

Don’t you hate it when people ask those annoying questions about people asking annoying questions people ask about yoyoing…

I hate it as much as if not more than the next guy. But sometimes you just need to be polite.

[yoyodanny]

well im just saying that stupid questions are preventable. if you hate stupid questions that much, dont yoyo in public. if you dont mind them, then go ahead.
