People who look, they see you coming at them at 25mph (40km/h), you make eye contact, then they pull out in front of you, causing you hit emergency brakes and barely avoid a huge accident — and then they act like they aren’t the world’s biggest douche canoe and somehow it was your fault for being born.

Now, often during the eye contact moment when I know they are deciding “Should I go?” I shake my head “No”

What I dont understand is why cars get so pissed of at you for riding a skateboard and not a bike who is going like 5 times slower than you. Cars wont pull out in font of them either but a skateboard yep.

Punching things and people at speed is the only way to do it.

Dogs jumping at my board.

And squirrels. They look you in the eye while you wonder if they’re just going to throw themselves under your board.

Hate it, they see me going fast, they speed up to pass me and cut me off just so they can take their time entering a parking lot.

When you spend hundreds of dollars for a product from a vendor and then you find out that after several months there is no product but then he keeps making promises and assures you he’ll ship it out the following day except he hasn’t messaged back for 2 more weeks and he’s disappeared off the face of the planet
