“What brand is it?” “How much did it cost?”

“How fast does it go?” like fifty times a day. Like they’re some kind of pro skateboarder and top speed is the most important thing or something.

Or when I’m on the Carbon GT and people be like (when it’s upside down in a shopping cart, especially, “How long did it take you to make that?”

Like freaking please if I could handmake a carbon fiber board and make it look like this shiaaaat. I just lie and I’m like “a few weeks” because if I say I didn’t make it, I know what they’re going to say next - “How much did it cost?” and I really hate that question
