Tip from person with short legs: if someone is walking faster behind you, move to the side and slow down to let them pass at their speed. You're welcome fast walkers.

This only works if the other person has situational awareness.

Do people even walk around alone without something in ears nowadays?

Hi!

[–] RedSnt@feddit.dk 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hello friend!

[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Another, "listen to the world" person. Nice

[–] RedSnt@feddit.dk 3 points 2 months ago

Kind of. I do wear earplugs every now and then when I'm on bicycle because I don't like how loud the cars passing me can get. But otherwise I'm "rawdogging" moving around in the world.

Does a week's worth of dandruff and wax count?

[–] RedSnt@feddit.dk 1 points 2 months ago

I'm not gonna gatekeep! And I do have the same problems. Small monologue here: My grandmother who survived the 2nd world war, she always said I needed to wash my face and behind my ears. And I never took her seriously. Now that I'm a lot closer her her age when she said that I finally get it!

[–] 2piradians@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

That rules out...nearly everyone

[–] potoo22@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah... Situational awareness kind of a requirement for short people.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

You'd think hitting our heads would give tall people situational awareness but nope

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

I just stop and let them pass me, to be sure.

If we're walking together, can I give you a piggyback or something? It's death walking somewhere for a purpose and taking like 50% longer to get there because your friend/partner/whoever doesn't walk 6 km/h.

6 km/h should be default. 1 km/10 mins just makes estimating arrival times perfect (1.5 km is 15 mins). And it's not that fast even.

Edit: I've taken your inch and asked for a mile

[–] potoo22@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

ROFL! Just go ahead, save me a seat. My spouse and I can't go hiking with certain friends because not only are we slow, but we stop to admire little things like moss, mushrooms and bugs.

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Oh that sounds lovely.

I will say, if you're walking for the purpose of walking (and not getting somewhere), I'm happy to stop to smell the roses

OMG your like a unicorn. I've only heard tales of your kind.
