Walking normally
There are some things that I do that I figured everybody did, but I have recently been informed that they do not, and I am actually just a really weird guy. One of these things is watching how other people walk. Did you ever watch someone with a really strange gait, like maybe they lift their heels high on the pushoff stroke, so they're basically on their tip-toes, or they stick their butt way up in the air, or they have a really slow guy-on-stilts gait. After I see this, I wonder if these people know about their unusual gait. Then I figure, no, they probably don't, because most people don't think about such retarded things as much as I do, and people probably just do what comes naturally, as opposed to what is "normal". Then I think, what if
MY gait is extremely bizarre, like the weirdest possible walking style ever seen? What if, say, what feels normal to me actually looks like something from the Ministry of Silly Walks? Then I usually try to find some glass or other reflective surface to see if it looks normal. But then, as soon as you
try to look normal, you're virtually assuring yourself that you
won't look normal for some time, especially since you're gawking at your own reflection in a plate glass window and bumping into people left and right. So, anyways, after seeing a person with an unusual gait, any walking I do for the rest of the day is not normal.
