"Stop touching me."
It goes without writing that we all live in extremely divided times. Left loathing right. Right loathing left. Camps within each loathing each other. Neighbor extremely suspicious of neighbor, friend cancelling friend, but all were miraculously brought together on this Cyber Monday, united by equal loathing for a ridiculous looking surfer and a “Chad” aiming to shame him.
But let us travel, together, to Newport Beach, California, or maybe Del Mar, where our scene unfolds in broad daylight. For here we witness a surf caricature, floppy blonde hair, sunglasses, attempting to parallel park a white older model Mercedes station wagon festooned with an orange longboard. The “Chad” pulls up, cellphone out and ready, declaring, “Ahhh, now you’re hitting cars, bro, come on,” in classic west coast whine.
The “surfer” flashes a peace sign and responds, “Get a job, Chad. Is that your name? Chad? Go and hit up some açaí berries.”
Surfer girlfriend, girl friend or wife then appears as Chad tries to warn her not to get hit, that “He’s hitting cars.”
She says, “Dude, I know who you are.” He says, “Stop touching me.”
And the whole business devolves from there.
The video, posted to Reddit, has only one tone in comments. That both antagonists are horribly annoying.
A sampling:
Guy in chubbies calling other guy Chad is peak Chad behavior.
I surf out front of this street daily. You don’t longboard here. Unless he’s gonna take the longggg walk to the pier, that board isn’t touching the water.
Pretty hard to take a guy calling you a chad seriously when he’s barely even wearing pants himself.
alk about the pot calling the kettle Chad, geez!
The video does raise a larger question, though. Is it ok to lightly tap bumpers when parking? My skill is so great at the parallel arts that it is unnecessary but I’ve always found it ok.
Happy Cyber Monday.

Dude, I have a list of problems with this video but when I went back, I saw he was driving a gigantic 4-door white station wagon and was flanked by a fugly phony in a special shade of orange and kinda stomp walks like a troll. His life is already hard. Plus he longboards and prolly slips off a lot. She doesn’t even have a board.so maybe she demands tandem all the time. That should garner him.some sympathy and support right? Exactly! So here’s my list.
1. Why is his girl half-dressed when they are going to the water? Suit looks like it doesn”t fit or at least wasn’t made to fit her.
2. https://youtu.be/kky_FitRcOU
3. The Karen equivalent should be Mike, Brian, Steve, or Bill. Chad is broserved for certain kinds of bros.
4. He’s going in trunks at end of November? Mmkay. And all he’s going to have is his button-up to wear after? Maybe they were coming home and left their gear in the car.
5. How does he know how to properly pronounce açaí?
6. What surfer would tell another surfer to get a job? No take on his clothes, his board, his girl, his beach. The comeback was about his employment status? How does he know if he works? Like is he panhandling?
7. Is that granny local? Just sayin’.
Like how the chick puts her hands on him then tells him to back off.
He was pretty far back away from you already.
No doubt
Frothing on that resin tint tho
The powers at be sure swept that slaughtering under the rug
🎯
Hualalai is past due to erupt; lots of hyped up fake news regarding Mauna Loa too
Freaks with phones with video cameras 🤷
Deny till ya die
Everyone is missing the point, that is an excellent parallel park, tight spot, I’d even say it’s a absolute Chad move.
If anyone parked let alone walked through the car park dressed like that at my local there would be trouble.
Would get beat here too 🎯

Chad ( Arabic: تشاد; French: Tchad ), officially the Republic of Chad, is a landlocked country in Central Africa. It borders Libya to the north, Sudan to the east, the Central African Republic to the south, Cameroon and Nigeria to the southwest, and Niger to the west.

Yes. That was the sight that greeted me right after my neighbor called at 1:45am to notify us of the eruption.
Is there a way that we could get more pop up ads on BG? Cuz it seems like only half of the page is covered by ads at a time so I would say that there could be like 25% more at least. At this point I can’t tell if the ads are ruining my ability to read/enjoy the story or if the story is getting in the way of me being marketed to by Best Buy and Jack In The Box. Either way bang up job pushing me to Stab for surf content. Make Grit Grit Again!!!
Na wont be able to maintain the world beating visit rate then
Maybe try adblocker…I don’t get them at all.
Adblock Works for me on my pc. dont use my cell phone for BG and such
Try Dolphin or duck duck go browser.
Tried but when I have ad blocker on as soon as I scroll to read the story disappears so all I can see if the background ad. I vote paywall. Happy to pay for good content. If there is good content.
Yes the UX has gone to absolute shit, especially on mobile. I believed, perhaps naively, it necessary to achieve a sustainable level of monetization to keep this thing afloat…but I don’t know how much more of this I can tolerate.
Our carbon reduction efforts should address any atmospheric imbalance if it pops
Thanks , somethings got to change
Looked into that other one but no good for android
Brave browser is the go for android.
I’m gonna try that. DDG and dolphin have been my go to to eliminate ads here.
Also Dolphin browser for Android.
