You know you're obsessed with yoyoing when...

#2761

When you hear someone has a titanium hip and you wonder “Can I make a yoyo out of that?” This actually happened to me today.

#2762

When you feel empty when you forget to bring a yoyo with you, almost feels like leaving your cell phone or wallet behind.

And at my work (where I convert video tapes and other obsolete media to digital media) I recently took on responsibility for repairing busted VHS tapes. Sometimes I have to open the shell and pull the spool out. I’ll find myself grabbing the spool by the center and with my “throw hand” so to speak, will pull the tape gently to get enough excess to work with, but will pull in such a way I’m doing a pull start on a hubstack yoyo.

Lastly, when you realized you missed the opportunity of filming the Zipper trick when at the fair. I was at my local county fair over the weekend and was near the carnival (could see the Zipper poking over the top of one of the other carnie rides). I was doing the Zipper trick but never actually got to make it to the crowded midway otherwise I would have filmed the Zipper trick in front of the classic carnival attraction.

When this keeps getting bumped.

#2764

Lol I even made little elastc holsters that clip on to my pants for my throws!

#2765

IT HAPPENED AGAIN!! :smiley:

How about when you cut yourself up yoyoing but you just can’t physically stop.

#2766

When you still throw without response pads since my Classic works fine without them lol

#2767

When you’re sitting down at work knowing there’s a new package at home waiting for you that contains your Yo-Yos and your anxiously waiting to be able to leave work!!! lol

#2768

You’re stoked that you influenced someone to get a yoyo. Specially when they’re a beginner and they go straight to a unresponsive and learned to bind.

#2769

When your boss tells you to leave your yoyo at home…major bummer.

#2770

When you have to bring a yoyo on a school field trip

#2771

gaa!!! Exactly. Total bummer.

#2772

Well, they can’t tell you that you can’t yoyo on break or lunch, that’s your personal time and you’re entitled to spend your personal time how you like (within reason of course).

…but yea what a butt of a boss.

You know your obsessed with yoyoing when you join a community online where this is one of the top ten forum topics

#2774

You write your personal reflective essay about yoyoing for your English folio for your exam(wish me luck!!).

Well to be fair, I wouldn’t say I’m obsessed but I still throw as a sort of stress relief and because it’s fun even though I’m not looking to learn any new tricks/combos.

#2775

When you know how to spell Hiroyuki Suzuki without looking it up… along with some others

#2776

When you’re constantly try to get people to pick up yoyoing so you have a friend to talk and throw with. I’m lonely…

#2777

PM me sometime Heero. I don’t mind skyping and throwing/discussing yoyos. I’m still trying to get people down here in south FL.

#2778

When you leave work in a bad mood because your yoyo package never arrived while you were present.

… Yea I was looking forward to trying out my Rave and Quash when I got home.

(angryskills) #2779

You know it when you spend over a thousand dollars on new yoyos and goin to contests…

(LordCanti) #2780

When you bring threads about it back from the dead.

Or practice that new trick till 5AM instead of studying.
