Most people don't give 2 turds about what you do in college during your free time. The clique bs pretty much gets abolished the minute you step on campus.
Only people who actually care/should care are recruiters in which case they are looking to see what you've done in school is applicable to the job at hand. In other words can you add value to the organization.
1 word Roomate. if u are worried about seeing u buy a beyblade then u better buy a paper bag cause your gonna be so embassed if ur roomate sees you playing with them
Also this is starting to go off topic
I recently bought some t-shirts at old navy and the cashier asked if they were for my little brother. Apparently all girls must wear low-cut, paper thin t-shirts.
I've bought a lot of really weird, embarrassing stuff for myself over the years, toys are not one of them. I don't have shame in my hobbies. I might feel a little weird buying anything from the Barbie isle though.
personally i wouldnt care if someone saw me buying beyblades since no one really cares what i do. i mean like at school im always on this site and on ebay looking up beyblades for sale, so if someone saw me buy a blade i wouldnt care even though im 16. buying beyblades is nothing to be ashamed of to me(idc what people think) if love beyblading go ahead and buy some.(or keep a baseball bat in the truck of your car a catch'em alone you know what to do from there) dont take opion #2 trust me
just hope that people can understand this is an intresting game and not just a kids toy?
i really don't care what other people think about me, that's their opinion, all that matters is that i get the blade i was looking for
yeah im 18 going on 19, i'll just go to a store not in my neighborhood, I dont have no little brother to get them for me, if the person at the register ask why im buying toys i'll just lie and say im getting them for my son(even though i dont have one)
plus im black, and i live in the hood, its really hard for black people that like anime lol
well kinda we have a skateboard shop and a anime store right in the middle of the hood... you can watch anime or crackheads for entertainment at the same time lol
um im 11 and i dont relly have beyblades in my area i buy battle strikers i try to ask sum1 else to buy them for me and give it to me at the entrance so it's in a bag and nobody can see wats inside
Well i remebered trying to buy a blade and this one girl i liked saw and i knew i shouldnt have been but i was kinda embarassed so i just told her it was a gift but alot pf people say that when embarassed about buying a toy
This thread is sort of amusing. I wouldn't hide or act differently in the toy aisle when I would buy a Beyblade. If I did run into a friend and they asked me what I was buying, I would tell them as some of my friends know that I like Beyblade just as a hobby
. But if it were a person that I'm not to close to etc I'd just say I was buying it for a cousin.
LOL it also depends on the type of shop,department stores would give you funny looks but if you went to a hobbie shop the people in there are normaly nerds anyway and will most likely have a good talk to you about the game or toy,anyway thats what ive noticed when i buy anime figures.
Honestly, all of my friends play Beyblade too. AND everyone at my school knows that we play Beyblade. I honestly just don't care what other people think about my hobbies. What's fun is fun.

I'm sorry but were you buying beyblades or crack?
When I enter the toy store I am clad in a black ninja outfit with a plastic beyblade ready to fire at anyone that looks at me funny. The positive side about this is the full identity protection and if someone does recognize you, they'll think you're an absolute nutter and never approach you again.
What's gonna be hilarious is how much I would unload at the cash register. Now that I'm older, Beyblades are much more affordable. No more begging my parents XD
I feel more embarrassed walking out of Walmart with 20 boxes of Pocky, or Chapters with handful of moe-manga
Luckily my girlfriend is amazingly awesome, so we'll just be walking in to toysrus and buying them together
At the end of the day though, if someone judges you for liking something as innocent as Beyblades then they probably aren't worth your time.
People need to just realize that the only people who's opinions really matter at the end of the day are your own, and those closest to you.
After school special moment over.
I wouldn't be bothered at all. Even if I saw someone I knew I could say I have a younger nephew, or something along those lines, that likes them. Guilty pleasures ftw!
Some of the cashiers and employees at the Toys R Us where I live are gamers and anime fans anyway. If anyone ever bothered to ask me a 17 year old in the first place, I'd just saying I'm doing it for the hell of it. At that point the conversation would be over.
Well I don't have a problem because I am under the age of 13 and I'm a girl so I just claim I'm buying one for my bro who also likes them
well here is how i do it i go into walmart with my hoodie on try not to attract to much attention just looking out for stuff ok and then so i cross through the clothes section then the dvds and then i just randomly turn into the toy section now here is how i do it with stuff that i buy these days and its probably goingt o be the same way with beyblades but when i enter the toy section i just brush off my awareness and just look at the stuff that i want to buy then i just carry it to the register and make sure that i dont use the self check out i always use the one with the cashier and i dont even use a cart and then i just walk out after buying what i wanted and nothing is ever said of it i just dont like people seeing me when i walk into a store when im already at the section im going to then i could care less i just dont like it when i walk into walmart and one of my friends starts screaming hey but i take great pride in my hobbies especially beyblade in school im known a little bit for creating some launching strategies i made a few and im also known for powerful launches and my new upper attack combos and im a 13 year old boy going into high school this fall and nobody really cares if i buy this stuff because people know that i love anime

I think there is a fine line between going in looking like you're going to shoplift and looking 'cool' lol.
Personally, I think you shouldn't really care about others opinions if they are mean. Often they're jealous that you have a hobby that you're involved in or that you can admit to liking it. I learnt the hard way XD

You understand why I think this could be his 'brother', stormpegasus, who has not logged in since he registered I believe ...
As for the actual topic, as other people mentioned, I am not 'scared' of what I like.

didn't i tell you before that I only use that stuff in short posts. not the really long ones.
Sorry to say, but if your friends would stop being your friend just because you buy a spinning-top, they're not good friends.
And you only use periods for short posts? What the hell XD

Ahh another great quote for a sig.
But really if your "friends" hang out at walmart 1) ur friends are those elderly ppl that greet you when you enter or 2)there really werid.
I personally have never saw kids hang out @ walmart (aside from the teenagers that work there)

I agree, 1000%. If they don't like what you do, too bad for them!
BTW, you look cool by going in like you want to buy something that you want, because you want it or it interests you. Big deal if you are older, people who'll mock you for it are just being carps, ignore and move on!
