Old person here, with short legs. If I can hear your feet I’ll try to keep to the right, and I might even slow down a little to make the passing moment faster. I appreciate if you say “On your left,” as you go by. Because then we’re both heroes.
I always try to give a passing side announcement, what’s fun is about 25% of the time the person moves in that direction!
PSA: Most of them don’t mind. They remember being your age. Say “G’day” while you pass them.
I tried this but then they respond with “Servus.” Austria is strange.
Wrong Austria
I just got back from Vienna yesterday. Servus!
Sorry I would walk slow and smell the flowers but I have to keep increasing my productivity or go homeless and that means I have to be places.
OMG! I genuinely match their pace and make sure not to remind them they’re not the energizer bunny that I am. I don’t want to make people sad with my walking, that’s not why I walk at ALL!
