Today, while coming back from skiing, a woman asked me if I could help her carry her stroller. I put my skis down and helped her. When I came back to pick my skis up, I saw two guys running away with my gear. You try chasing someone while wearing ski boots. FML
magzulism tells us more.
Hey, OP here. I'm finally gonna answer some of your questions: 1. Yes, i do believe it was a set up. The woman and the thiefs were definitely working together. 2. They were old skis, I bought myself a pair of awesome new ones later :) 3. I didn't go skiing alone. I live in Switzerland and was helping a friend of mine -who is an elementary school teacher- as a skiing instructor for his 9 year old school kids. He teaches and lives in a tiny village about an hour from where I live, and since I don't have a car, I went there by train. So obviously i rode the train back home alone. The only good thing about the whole story is that I didn't have to carry my skis back home. ha. ha. Feel free to message me, if you have any questions.

Better get these comments moderated with the insults, they did that to me. Now they'll erase this comment as usual or the thread because they're hypocrites, dumb.

Love that show. YDI OP for being helpful and trying to make society a better place to live in. Don't you know that no good deed goes unpunished?

I would advise you to take te ski boots off and chase them. But they would probably be stolen too...

And op would get frostbite of the foot variety. He already lost his gear, it would suck to lose his toes as well.

They'd be long gone by the time he got them taken off.

He/she never should have set the skis down in the first place. At the mountain near here, if it isn't locked up or by your side, you can plan on buying yourself a new pair soon. And by the time OP took his/her boots off, they would have been long gone. How big was the stroller? You couldn't manage both?

Taking ski boots off most of the time is just as hard as running in them :/

I tried, it does not work for the life of me.

Easier to do if your a snowboarder

40- no its not. They go half way up your calf and you can't move your ankle at all. I've never worn ski boots, but it sounds just as difficult.

44, it's bad in board boots, but it's even worse in ski boots. The latter are heavier and even less flexible.

Wait so your telling me if I do a good deed im going to get punished?
Awsumuzzie 12
That's what the saying implies, yes.

Sadly, yes..... But don't give up hope OP because karma is a bitch.
hateevryone 15
you can't help but think if it was a set-up.
TheCountess 4
My thoughts exactly. If this is the case, OP really can't take solace in the good deed, since by helping with the stroller, he/she was just playing right into the scam. :(
