    I still tiptoe around the house at night, and lightly close doors/cabinets so as not to incur the wrath of waking up my father. Left my parents household over 20 years ago. Some shit sticks with you.

      Good practice to be careful to not wake anyone up. Fear of anger is a possible consequence of being loud but the real motive is being considerate.

        I’m generally very quiet moving about the house, the downside is I regularly scare the living daylights out of my wife.

          I’ve been scaring people for 15 years without knowing why lmao, I was nicknamed ninja feet in my college dorm after giving my roommate one too many heartattacks. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out for years why people couldn’t hear me coming, even when I tried to make my presence known.

      Same here - I am close to two meters in height and a heavy boy, but i can move so silently that i spook most people when they finally detect me. I actively try to make noise if i come up to someone unsuspecting.
