I did this in undergrad. Campus security stopped me, I argued, he called his supervisor on the radio. We chatted for a while, and turns out he was from Venezuela, had studied what I was studying, and was an overall pleasant character. Supervisor response was basically, "wow college kids think they're really clever don't they?", and I was asked, politely, to cease.

I felt like a bit of a dick after that.

Well you're at a college. If you want people to follow rules, be more specific, or don't get pissed when they follow the stated rules but you feel like the rules should include something else.

If the concern is liability, then don't just say "don't skateboard" and get mad when people bike through the area. You said no skateboards. This is not a skateboard. Rules=followed.

If anyone feels like chirping in with "you know what they meant" that really doesn't matter. Not to me, not to people who don't understand that sort of thing, not to courts.

Besides, I feel like clarity is some thing you should strive for at a facility for higher education.

The sign should say “no pedants.”

The disappointment if they don't continue increasing the length of the sign to account for every possible scenario

Who is this guy on the fucking tricycle.

What about riding on the back of my leashed leather gimp?

Oh, idk. Probably something like Donau­dampfschifffahrts­elektrizitäten­hauptbetriebswerk­bauunterbeamten­gesellschaft. Easy to remember.

I got like halfway through that word and now I'm being strangled with a gigantic dildo...

Already sounds pretty safe to me :)

Finally an excuse to use a Segway.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Technically, it's a bicycle.

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

Seems like a lot of work to me. I'd probably just ride a motorbike through.

laughs in tricycle and hoverboard

There's something I don't understand that maybe other unicycle riders can explain to me. I can ride a unicycle and I can even juggle while riding one, but I cannot go more than 200 feet or so before my thighs completely burn out and I fall over. How do people use these things as actual forms of transportation?
