What are some of the best things non-yoyo people have said/done? what are some of the most heartwarming moments (related to yoyo) that have happened to you with non-yoyoers?
The most embarrassing moment I’ve ever had was when I hit this old lady by accident, and she just kept walking.
I get mad when people, back away from me when I do tricks, sure I don’t like people being close to me while I yoyo, but we are talking about people ten feet away from me backing away even further.
I went on a 14 mile hike in the tetons to lake solitude and yo-yoed at the top and a guy noticed. On the way back down we were a lot slower because everything was pain but he actually stopped for a bit to complement me on my skills it felt awesome.
Just don’t take your wanker out in public. Talk about awkward.
RANDOM PERSON: Cool yoyo. What’s it called?
ME: Wanker
RANDOM PERSON: What did you just call me?!
ME: No seriously, this yoyo is a wanker. I got it from a dude in the UK.I’ll show you what he posted on reddit.
RANDOM PERSON: No No No NO, thats OK.
RANDOM PERSON backs quickly away
More seriously, I yoyo in my office whenever I have a minute. While waiting for a build to finish, on conference calls, while pondering a problem or just to get up off my butt for the sake of my own well being. I keep several yoyo’s laying around my office. I’ve had colleagues comment on how cool one looks or whatever but thats it.
