RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I'm a very large person (250lb/110kg, over 6'/1.8m) and I walk almost silently, unless I'm trying to be loud. I've learned to make some kind of noise when approaching people from behind, because otherwise it almost guarantees a jump scare

I'm the opposite. Petite 5'0" lady who sounds like an entire community of elephants when I walk.

A group of elephants is called a parade.

I call it my "stealth field." I've had multiple people look directly at me, multiple times, and then jump scare when I move. I'm 6'3", and 240. The walking silently is just a bonus, though it sounds very loud to me.

As someone living in a noisy appartment building, can you move in next to me please!
