When I yoyo in public the worse thing to hear, the absolutely worse thing to hear is silence. I’m glad to answer questions and hear comments, even the same ones over and over. Even though people might think my interest with yoyos is a bit crazy, I hope to always be approachable and never be viewed as a yoyo snob. ---

I’m definitely of the same approach as skitrz. But what yooldman said rings true, too. I’ve had a few “shake my head” moments when people occasionally say that. ---

“Is that thing still spinning?” The only question that drives me insane, I have to hold back sarcastic comments like: “Nope my breathing just sounds like an un-oiled motor” or “Nah, it’s my phone. I have the ringtone set to ‘jet engine’” Any other questions I’m more than pleased to answer, and maybe someone I talk to will decide to yoyo themselves and I will see them again at some point and can talk about tricks and other stuff. It’s all about that ‘Pay It Forward’ way of thinking. ;D ---

“Oh that’s easy.” “Why would you spend that much money on a yoyo?” Well what would you rather have, a 500 dollar iPhone or a cheap 20 dollar flip phone? Oh your a “yoyo master” (I REALLY don’t like that term "yoyo master "even though it’s nice of people to say I’m good but there’s just something about that term/name I don’t like. Also how people suggest Ideas like “there should be a show on tv about yoyos just like they do cars.” It’s cool that there interested or trying to make conversation but in my mind I’m just saying "no no no that’s not how it works you don’t understand. " I just can’t help thinking that (obviously I don’t say it in front of people but I just feel that some people don’t know what there talking about (mainly other kids/teens) I do like it when older people ask “is that a Duncan?” Because then I know that they a least kinda know what a yoyo is and it’s easy to explain to them what these new/modern yoyos are. ---
