Was at a skate park on an electric scooter when a dude with a board told me electric scooters weren't allowed there. Was thinking "MF'er, I broke about half a dozen laws on the way here, think I care about that stupid rule? When did skateboarders stop being rebels?" We were both wearing helmets. I probably almost died a couple times on the way there. lol Electric scooters are getting crazy fast.
Don’t take an electric scooter to the skate park, it’s not a race track and you’re not doing tricks with it. There is a specific purpose for skate parks and you’re just being irresponsible and making it dangerous for the other people there.
You're making assumptions. I'm not doing tricks? Not with that attitude. lol I never entered the park while it was in use, and I've made a point not to. I don't know why you'd tell someone online what to do or what not to do, but I'd be a fool to believe anyone would follow my commands or that there was a logical reason to give them.
No, you’re not doing tricks with an electric scooter in a skate park. If you’ve never entered the park with anyone else there then who are these people that are giving you shit about it and why are they wearing helmets?
You’re just being an invasive prick, point blank. It’s not me telling you what to do, it’s just basic etiquette of the park, it’s not a place for electric scooters. There’s a valid reason these people are telling you and your entitled attitude to fuck off. You’re ruining the experience and purpose of the space.
A person (one person) approached me. I told him "I guess I'll fuck right off then." and I left. I'm not telling anyone what to do or name calling. Call me what you will and tell me I'm wrong for not following rules, but I've ruined nothing and will continue as I damned well please and and I've hurt nobody but you. Please seek professional help if you feel victimized. I'd like to think we could be a little bit more mature, but it sounds like I could easily get you to swing on me if we were in the same room. Do you resort to name calling every time someone disagrees with you? Someones feeling a wittle emotional.
If it wasn’t an issue for you and you understand the intended purpose for the space then why are you crying about it online? False civility doesn’t prove your argument or disprove anyone else’s, your actions are what make you, in this situation, objectively an invasive dick head. Stay the fuck out of the skate parks with your motorized means of commuter transit that you admitted goes very fast and this puts others in the space for its intended purpose, including children, at risk of injury. If you want to go fast then find a speed track that is specifically intended for things with motors rather than invade a space specifically not intended for things with motors.
Keep telling people online what to do, and call 'em names when they don't listen. I'm pointing out who the "F those kids" person is in this thread. If we were more civil, I'd inquire as to your generation, but you can't seem to stop accusing me of putting people in danger when I haven't entered the park while it was occupied.
You’re not a rebel, you’re just an asshole and a poser.
Just wait! I'mma put a loudspeaker on my scooter that makes horse trotting sounds. Then I'll REALLY be an asshole. I'll be a loud asshole and I'll think of you when I ride.
Way to prove my point, poser.
Haven't been trolled like that in a long time. Thank you!
I’m not trolling, you actually are a dick and a poser. The guy telling you to fuck off wasn’t a “fuck those kids” person, you were just being an invasive, entitled, and disrespectful little bitch.
"I'm not trolling" *continues name calling
It’s not trolling to call a spade a spade.
I'd honestly love to have a logical conversation with you but your emotions seem to be limiting you to one word descriptions of my person. If only people were as simple as you chose to describe them. I'm sure there's a lot of logical reasons for your lack of self control, so I'm considering them instead of reducing you to a word.
I’ve used several different words.
I'd love to continue this conversation. I'd love to learn more about you and why you feel so negatively about me. myusername@gmail.com
I’ve outlined it all here, but considering you’ve emphasized your complete lack of situational comprehension I can’t say that I’m surprised you didn’t grasp what was being said and why.
I'm not saying I didn't understand what you said, I'm saying I don't understand why I should care.
Fuck, you’re stupid, stipid.
You’re not a rebel, you’re just an asshole.
