Old man sans inner monologue

Walking home post grocery shopping from my local Woolworths I made the mistake of making eye contact with some kind of vagrant man on Malvern Road. I was toting a skateboard which freaked the old man out so much he felt the need to rant about it:

"SKATE RIDER! A FEMALE SKATE RIDER?? I NEVER. WHAT AN ANIMAL!"

That was about all he had to say.

Maybe if I told him I didn't actually know how to skate it would've reassured him.

  1. Did you respond with, “I AM NOT AN ANIMAL”

    So skateboard huh? Maybe more Marty McFly than Ferris Bueller....?
