Annoying Kid of the Month

I don’t see what’s so annoying about him? What did this kid do?

He crossed paths with an angry 40 something with access to a computer…that’s what.

There’s a weblog dedicated to everything this kid did wrong.

Yeah, kids not being cool is so lame. Mall grab=lame, flip flops=lame, fat kids=lame.

Us skateboarders are very accepting.

Tell ’em, Huff!
All flip flops aside, this time I don’t really see the annoying part either.
Cynical sense of Kilwag-humor in an attempt to shrink the fat kid: the ‘enlarged’ pic is actually a tad smaller than the original one in the post.

It’s pretty simple. This IKEA is out in the middle of nowhere. There’s no way this kid actually skated there in his flip flops, yet he somehow felt compelled to bring his skateboard inside the cafeteria of a furniture store.

Yeah but what’s wrong with that? lolz How is this different from getting a tattoo or a piercing or wearing a cowboy hat? All of us are affectatious about something, but there’s not much reason to single people out based on something so trivial as this. Live and let live, no?

Long boards are for downhill. This guy’s playing it safe. No one is gonna ask this chump how high he can ollie. How do you turn that thing around on the sidewalk Bub? I don’t blame this kid for being annoying though, he’s just buying into what’s been shoved down his throat. Bite It Zumiez!

I’ll have you kooks know that that kid’s the longboard world champion.

This is why I come here. All of this.

You bastards. Tiny as we call him has a glandular problem which also prevents him from wearing shoes. And as a matter of fact he skated down I-205 to get there, you should have seen the little trooper skate home with his new bean bag chair. Jerks.

Lets not forget the sport shorts, these would create an incerdible amount of drag. He could also use a good haircut.

now remember the MAX stop is like 200 yards away. He could have taken the MAX to sesh the Ikea curbs and then needed some Ikea chow.

Who skates to Ikea?

colinwalshrules on March 25, 2013 - Reply

maybe he is a kid that gets made fun of at school for weight problems, or maybe he is mentally handicap, have you fucking assholes ever thought of that? Or maybe he is trying to “fit in”, kids that age struggle with identitiy issues and you old fucking cock smokers arent helping out at all. The sad truth is that this young lad has many years ahead of him, and will probably date a super hot model or something, unlike the old men that are going home to a wife that wont even spread her legs more than once a month. It is pretty easy to pick fun at someone to make yourself feel better. Skateboarding is so “cool” now, choke on penis you crusty old men.

Gee Colin, I didn’t know you were so sensitive. Is this part of your 12 step program making amends for every skater you’ve called gay or a fag?

We need to come up with a name for this increasingly common phenomenon: overreaction in a high-and-mighty fashion to comments on the internet. I’ve been trying out social justice hobbyists.

Huff on March 25, 2013 - Reply

Yeah, colinwalshrules response is an overreaction, but seriously, Skate&Annoy is looking a little petty & goonish picking on a kid, or the idea of a kid who doesn’t “fit in” with what is cool in skateboarding, especially thinking about the demographic of this site (grown men skateboarders).

This kind of mindset being perpetuated with post like this are not what skateboarding or punk rock for that matter is about. Quite frankly, its what being a jock is all about. So I would encourage readers and posters to this site to pick what side of that fence they would want to be on.

Being an old dude wearing kneepads, with 70mm wheels, and riding some oversized cruiser board isn’t necessarily the coolest things in skateboarding either. I guess the whole throwing stones and glass house lesson comes to mind.

kilwag on March 25, 2013 - Reply

Maybe I should have said “chubby” instead of “fat,” but I’ll stand behind this post. This is part of skateboarding in popular culture, the skateboard as fashion accessory. There is absurdity in bringing a skateboard into a furniture store that is in the middle of nowhere, just to carry it around with you.

It’s a lighthearted feature that has been around for years. Quite frankly, Im surprised at the reaction.Overreaction to this lends more weight to what would otherwise be a throwaway item.

You are correct though, this has nothing to do with punk rock.

Careful Huff. The last time I called out Kilwag and Co. for riding 70mm wheels I wound up helping them clean the graffiti off Pier Park… Still not sure how they bamboozled me into that one.

  I think we all ride 60mm anyway. Come on, we’re 10mm cooler than that.

Come on,,, let’s poke fun @ Ikea for selling skateboards!

Huff on March 26, 2013 - Reply

You think a kid with a skateboard at Ikea is kooky, I think a 40+ dude taking photos of a kids with a skateboard at Ikea is kooky.

I guess we disagree.

kilwag on March 27, 2013 - Reply

Ha, that’s good.You win on that one for sure. I felt weird doing it.

The bigger issue is, since this IKEA is out in the middle of nowhere, what were you doing there? Buying furniture (or most anything) from IKEA is as big a crime against trees as picking up a new deck from Big 5.

kilwag on March 29, 2013 - Reply

Crime against trees? Because the furniture is wooden? It was a field for the 10 years I’ve lived here before it was built. The real reason: Kids used to eat free on Tuesday nights.
1. Ron G. on March 29, 2013 - Reply
  
  No, not because it’s wooden. Wood is a great material for building durable furniture with an indefinite lifespan, if properly made and maintained. Check out Antiques Roadshow (a sleepy version of eBay Watch for non-skaters), and you’ll see furniture where our ancestors kept their corsets and pantaloons. A hundred years from now some of that finely crafted furniture will still be around, while all of the current IKEA junk will have reverted to the wood dust from whence it came. Of course, the IKEA stuff will still be around, it will just have been replaced about 35 times by more crap made from trees on a farm where a forest used to be, using up a ridiculous amount of resource to create a disposable commodity instead of a solid product, very much like a craptacular board left out to warp in the rain because the kid would rather play video games than ride that Big 5 deck, even when his parents buy him a freshie to replace the weathered skate they ran over in the driveway.

    It’s definitely not heirloom furniture. Don’t ever buy dresser from those guys for sure. I’ve got some bookshelves and a couple shelfy table things on castors that I’ve had for 10+ years though.

Ron G. on March 29, 2013 - Reply

BTW, good annoying kid post. That’s some sensitive territory, making fun of kids, but you navigate it well. And I hope the kids realize that you could just as easily create an Annoying 40-somethings Who Can’t Even Ollie page; there are plenty of ways to skate and annoy.

Nomotor on March 30, 2013 - Reply

So, the kid bombs the hill behind IKEA while his parents spend hours being corralled through future yard sale items. Then, he gets a text to grab a bite to eat while his parents orders are filled. Maybe his parents aren’t even there and he’s out playing. Who cares if he ollies? Remember when you rode just for fun? Busted up toes from riding without shoes? Right, too busy making fun of other kids…
