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.

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

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 3 days 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

This only works if the other person has situational awareness.

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

Another, "listen to the world" person. Nice

[-] RedSnt@feddit.dk 3 points 1 week 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 5 days 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 1 week ago

That rules out...nearly everyone

[-] potoo22@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago

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

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

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

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

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

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