Yo-Yo Pet Peeves

General Yo-Yo

I’m posting in this thread.

  1. when some one tells me its not a REAL yoyo because you cant tug it to come back up.
  2. people tell me it a cheat yoyo that it does all the work for me. (this makes me want to strangle them with the string on the “cheat” yoyo)
  3. peple ask me to walk the dog with my 150 dollar yoyo
  4. when i get told to let the adults child that ive never met to let them use my 100 dollar throws (that also makes me want to strangle them with the string because you know the first thing there going to do is throw it straight into the ground and it s usually pavement GOD THAT MAKES ME MAD >:()

all of these things together really just make me haate stupid people.

23

Yep number 4 happens all the time and I hate it so much!!!

24

ive punched people for 4 and just hate the rest of them even more. Idk if I’m the only one but when 4 happens and then they try to take it from you? Or when you let them at least good your DV888 and they say they won’t throw it but they put it on their finger anyway. This is when I punch them… :-\

I’ve seen countless posts here about non yoyoers complaining about a $140 yoyo.

When people say that to me my response usually is, “You’ve spent around that much on a pair of shoes.” Just point something out expensive like clothing. It shuts them up fast.

When my brain explodes. I really hate that, it’s embarrassing. (And totally yoyo related)

When someone comes up and takes a $150 yoyo out of your case and starts playing with it. (Non yoyoers that is, I don’t really care if they actually know how to yoyo) then say “I though it was for everyone to use”. Actually, one time, I had a little kid come up take my g5 for like 30 mins and return it later after dinging it to high heaven because they don’t know what a counterweight is for…

Alwaqys have a cheap plastic with you if you are going to yoyo in public. Problem solved.

I don’t feel like carrying around a plastic. Too bulky and useless unless 4 happens

32

I carry my onestar^ Great little plastic for a great price :smiley:

33

Another pet peeve of mine is when a yoyoer is goong to be in a montage video and they do some crazy long combo

35

Haha. True. Unless they actually discuss and make points. The first I boxing vids I saw were of decks of playing cards.

36

When people call yoyo string a “rope”

37

I want to start calling it that.

38

“what the difference between this YoYo and this YoYo?” Threads
and “5a players prefer this.” threads

39

Why? I bet yu have asked the first one. Do you expect beginners to know everything about yoyos? No

40

never asked that. I understand that new players need advise. ALOT of time it gets out of hand.
