To the guy that tried to take my long board from me, saying I was too small for it and I looked stupid…
I apologize for being so dumbfounded by your statement. I didn’t know that crossing an intersection and carrying my board meant that I can’t ride. And the fact that you kept reaching for it was annoying in itself. And following me nearly 2 blocks? Not cool… Ahh, If only I could have thought of something to say other than “nah, dude… i can skate”
Yeah, maybe I’m a cunt for not letting you take my board, but… What the hell? I was just getting some groceries and having a smoke… I wasn’t expecting it.
Next time you start talking to somebody, maybe start with something nice. “You’re just a little girl, you can’t use a skateboard. I looks stupid that the board is almost as big as you” can be taken offensively… And isn’t the best way to try out somebodies skate.

Dude was clearly trying to either sexually harrass you or steal your board or both. It never ceases to amaze me what people think they can get away with in public and in broad daylight.
He was definatly trying to jack your board…It’s good that you politely said you could board, no knowing what he may have done if you hadn’t… 🙂
