I can’t even remember how the topic was brought up, but I think it was with Ben’s Bitter Blog. This past weekend at my nightmare motel, I saw more hoverboards than I care to see. Shocking, but it was the kids that were clearly not athletes that felt the need to own and operate a hoverboard.
Admittedly, I was intrigued at first. Hell, my only frame of reference was Back to the Future-II. By the way, do you know that the “future” they were portraying was 2015? I wish the hoverboards would have come about but the real ones that don’t touch the ground.
Now hoverboards are annoying and I want to see their owners fall off. There was one kid who rode it into the pool area despite drenched floors. There was another kid rolling right into the elevator with his. At Kenwood mall there was an adult just rollin’ right out like this was just normal.
Is this our last ditch effort to become THE LAZIEST generation of all time? How does it get any worse then something doing our walking for us? I just sat there for a few minutes pondering what is lazier. The only thing I could come up with is if we found a way to have something sleep for us, while we are doing absolutely nothing. Did I just blow your mind?
So in my mind hoverboards are the Ed Hardy shirts and Blue Tooths of this decade. I loathe both in epic ways. So what are your thoughts? Is this the transportation of the douche and the douchebagette (female version of douche in case you weren’t aware)?
And guys, if you are still on the fence about a hoverboard or no matter how you’ve attempted to distract your kids they still want one, here is a guide. They reached out to me about their article, I read it and found it could be super helpful. Please know I am receiving 0 money for this suggestion, I just think it’s helpful! Hoverboard Review
eh. Its just another thing. It will pass. People get excited and do it and 5 years from now it will likely be forgotten.
I don’t care if people use them as long as they don’t run over my toes.
Hope your right. I’m waiting for the law to mandate helmets to be worn witht these things.
You know all they had to do was make those things float and then we would have only thought them kind of douchey.
“Now hoverboards are annoying and I want to see their owners fall off.” I need say no more.
Dangerous, douchey and annoying
Yes, yes and more yes.
LOL. Do you sit back and throw stuff at their wheels so that they trip?
