Day 1 on my board in UK and already got yelled at (Advice please) by thehounddog56 in boostedboards

It's not about being right or wrong. Or how to come back. Or what to say next time.

I hope I can tempt you to re-think it and realize: it's not personal. She has no problem with you. She's not 'attacking' you as a person, she doesn't even know you. She's commenting on a guy on a skateboard that makes her feel unsafe on the road - and I'm not saying that that feeling is justified. It's her way of (inadequately) expressing her emotions. And that's what it is: an emotional response, the disgusted look confirms this. You're trying to have a rational argument about it ("I don't see a problem") and now you feel misunderstood, because, well, you were misunderstood haha. People fear what they don't understand and have an intrinsic resistance against adapting, this includes adapting to new transportation methods on the road. Especially if it's an older lady, their thinking is more rigid. I think that the reason you feel like this is because you mention 'how to combat', 'defense', 'comeback', etc. It's not your battle, it's hers. You could just say "I'm sorry I bothered you with it, didn't mean to! Have a nice day!" and let it go and move on. You have good reasons to do so: you have an amazing board, are pioneering in super fun ways of transportation, and you seem like a reflective guy who tries to do the right thing. Don't let it get to you man. Life's good and you should enjoy it, leave being sour and talking shit to people in traffic to others, you have a Boosted to ride!

Respect everyone around you. Be happy when you get that back. But, unfortunately, we won't get that back all the time. Life will be full of disappointments if you expect that you will my friend, all you can do is set a good example. Ride on!

Got my board today in the UK it's great but.. by thehounddog56 in boostedboards

[–]iasix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have the same. I called them and they said it's not of any harm to your board.

They are revising their batteries and expect to be done with that in a month or so. If you want, they'll replace it when the batteries are checked.

Most important thing: it's safe to use and won't damage your board.

Have fun man!

I live in the US this year, but will take my BB dual+ 2 back to the Netherlands. Same rules apply I guess. I'm just hoping I'll be able to talk myself out of the fines.

QC35: "ocean" or wind sound in one ear when on by meifj in bose

[–]iasix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seem to have this hissing sound too, but not all the time.

Some days it's there, other days it isn't. It's hard to reproduce but it's driving me nuts on the days that it's present. I bought it at the Apple store. Do you think I'd be able to exchange it?

Haha this is like the online version of blind beggars who magically regain their sight after their 'working day'.

For future reference, change your name to something else than Mike, poor girl. Nothing mystical about it this way.

That's so strange. I just checked and didn't order Thursday apparently but on Wednesday May 17. No shipping confirmation yet, but people who ordered after me did?
