Girl in Bionic Suit 2004: Go do that somewhere else

Go do that somewhere else

They call it heeling.

I call it irritating.

"It" is the latest wheel-in-the-heel-of-your-sneaker craze. It may be touted it as a 'sport' in the same category as inline skating and skate boarding with its own brand of heel hockey somewhere else (ie USA) but it's definitely just an extremely irritating thing when kids do it here in S'pore.

The under 12-year-olds are heeling all over in -- of all places -- crowded shopping centers, busy food courts, lobbies, toilets (?!) and wherever.

Oh yes. They simply must do it at places where people are already finding it hard to walk/maneuver, so they can knock into you and just heeeel away without apology to knock into the next person. I have no idea why parents allow that to take place at all. Weekend after weekend. And now, day in and out, coz it's the frigging school holidays. I think it makes them wet doing that.

Now I am just waiting for one of them to get 'heeled' down the escalator. That's just such an orgasmic thought! Hur hur.

dun be so mean. there have been cases of kids who got injured while "heeling away", and sent to the hospitals.

for me, i only sympathise with kids whose family can't afford buying them such fanciful sneakers. imagining seeing other kids roaming about in those wheels while the shoes on your feet are just plain normal ones..

It's a fad and nothing else. Attribute it to a surfeit of deluded parental love or just a sign of our (affluent) times, but when one of them kids bashes his head onto the ground and dies, then maybe the govt will ban all this funky stuff.

Heeling's cute as long as they keep it out of crowded places.
