4. Do you ski or “board”
4. Do you ski or “board”
Skiing is the tentative question, how am I supposed to know whether you ski or “board”?
If you “board” you are more likely to be chilled out and politely correct my mistake. If I asked if you were a “boarder” and you were a skier, it’s an awkward silence for an hour that frankly adds to the crap journey I’ve already had to endure.
Do you get Blue Peter’s badges for being such a dismal prick?
You’ve worked out I’m a snowboarder, you’ve launched my pride and joy into the back of your van without any sensitivity to the fact I can’t afford a new one, and this one is only just barely holding together with gaffa tape and superglue.
I’m still trying after you’ve shut down any conversations again, do you get Blue Peter’s badges for being such a dismal prick? It’s an obvious question as I’m not going to make assumptions that could lead to a fiery death in an “accidental” ravine plunge. I don’t have a clue if you are French, British, Australian or a Bulgarian mountain goat, I’m going to play it safe, I’m trying to feel my way into this conversation tentatively, maybe if you help me out we can have that interesting conversation you claim to desire.
