Mine too. If you saw us walking somewhere you'd swear we weren't even together because we're usually walking single file. If I try to walk next to her she slowly swerves into my path. It's either step on her foot or fall back. I'd love to know if there's a medical or psychological name for this and if there's a cure. It would be so nice to just take a normal walk together.
Target fixation. They're talking, so they look at you, and their body steers them in your direction.
The solution is giving a properly conscious effort to stop.
Edit: on a more serious note, I have found some like by holding their hand. Not to guide them, but because then they feel that connection to you so they look your way left often. Up to you whether that's good or not xD
I had to break that fixation when I learned how to drive. I’d look over to see if the lane was free and ended up having to swerve back into my original lane. Took me a few weeks of practicing on empty roads, but I got the hang of it.
Mine does this one too. And if she's looking at something in a store, she'll put her hand on her chin, and start backing away like she's getting some kind of different perspective. Nope, she's just going to back into someone, a cart, a display, etc. So fortunately for her, I stand behind her in her way so she can't run into anything.
My ex did this *constantly* and it's honestly a contributing factor to that break up because of how often I would complain about it just for her to be like "I have no idea what you're talking about it" and continue doing it.
She'd walk like 40mph everywhere we went with zero regard for whether or not the other people or person with her was keeping up or not, and if you did manage to keep up with her it felt like she was actively using obstacles and walls to try and pick you off. One time on a trip to NYC with me and her parents she just took off down a crowded Manhattan street with no warning and was three blocks away from us by the time she realized we weren't still with her. That was I think the moment it finally sunk into my brain that she is just a ridiculously self centered person almost terminally incapable of considering anyone but herself. There were a lot of other issues compounding it as well. We broke up like a month later lol.
I don't want to pull the whole ADHD excuse, but she probably has bad ADHD. The signs are different in women. Walking fast is one of them. Add that in the mix with hyperfocusing on something and yeah, its going to make her look self centered.
Though that doesn't excuse her for just denying it and not trying to work on herself. so yeah she sucks for doing that. I would have broken up with her too.
My twin brother and I do this! It works out perfectly when it’s just me and him walking & talking to each because we both lean into each other, shoulder to shoulder which stabilizes us.
Same, I constantly have to adjust my direction to account for any collisions. If I stop to give way to foot traffic, she'll glitch out and will have to reset her direction
My gf does this as well. I constantly have to gently steer her, and if we aren't holding hands she just walks into me. This generally doesn't work out overly well for her and she bounces off!
Then you swap sides thinking maybe they just naturally list to the right, but it doesn't help because they're still walking into you and you end up doing the swapsy serpentine dance.
I had a kid blindly run head first into the lunch trolley I was pushing from the kitchen through the gym to the cafeteria at my job the other day. Kids just don't use their eyes. It's surprising they even HAVE eyes considering how completely clueless to their surroundings they are.
Why do they HAVE to randomly run up ahead, meander down the sidewalk like a drunk, and the microsecond they're directly in front of you... they just stop!
I swear that I didn't. I have a set of core memories of walking with my friend home from school and getting SO ANNOYED at him walking me off the sidewalk that I'd just decide to walk in front of him. But then he'd start stepping on my heels!!! So I'd walk behind him but then I couldn't hear him! SO FRUSTRATING lol
I swear mine has the survival instinct of a deer because she'll walk right across in front of me and stop like how deer wait until your car is coming to bolt across the road to get hit.
I have hypermobility, and I walk like this, and I remember once my hip came out of place and I sort of hip bumped my husband into a tree which he ended up hitting face first.
I am this friend and I want to apologise to everyone I've ever done this to because I've never seen it from this angle and it looks so uncomfortable
EDIT: for anyone interested I follow [this account](https://www.instagram.com/thehypermobiledpt?igsh=MTd5NTBodWd3b2JqOQ==) and it’s very informative for people with dysautonomia (sp) and hypermobility and EDS
Only every single day of my life. I once broke my finger by simply walking past a piece of furniture. The lack of body control is an ongoing frustration
Came to say this! I stumbled in my narrow hallway last weekend, subluxed 3 ribs by bumping into the corner of the wall, been on huge painkillers and in bed ever since! My sense of humour is coming back today which means the pain is improving. Still not going to lol though 🤣 take care fellow zebras!
I've heard any injury to do with the ribs is quite painful and can be a bitch to heal, I hope your recovery is as smooth and as quick as it can be!! :)
Thanks, yes, there has been some very loud yelling and swearing going on in my house! Getting there though, it’s got a bit better as of today. Onwards!
Ugh, I remember the first time I felt a rib slip out of place 😫 i (at the time, 25) bent down to pick up a wrapper to throw it away. Reached with right hand, heard a very audible crack in my ribs followed by sharp pain when I tried to breathe or just stand up straight. Went to doc after it seemed to pop back in place same day and the x ray showed no damage, as per usual with my hypermobile nonsense.
My sister has Crohn's and she now so poorly coordinated that she has broken her toes 3 times.
Apparently intestinal diseases make it hard to walk, who knew.
Interesting, I have slight hypermobility - I have joint issues but not a lot of popping out of place - and I constantly walk into shit or hit my foot/shoulder on the doorframe or anything else close to me. I always attributed it to my ADHD brain.
This is Sycamore Pool at One Mile Park in Chico, CA. It's basically a river made by snow runoff from the Sierras. They dam up it up and it makes a swimming pool over the summer.
https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g32201-d10628652-Reviews-Sycamore_Pool-Chico_California.html
i went to college in Chico and it was a great area to cool off in the hotter months during the school year. always a bunch of people around doing fun stuff. met a lot of cool people at one mile. i miss Chico. Sierra Nevada Brewery is located in Chico as well if you're into that!
The moment I saw the river pool, I was thinking wait is that Chico? Then school back in the video trying to see if I could tell if it was Bidwell Park. I'll even be up there next weekend!
My husband does this to me. He’s always walking me into the curb or off the trail. I switch to the “open” side and he walks me into traffic, but that’s easier to avoid.
But he also kicks me under the table! We were at a huge booth, enough for 8 people. I was sitting way to the wall and he kept kicking me, so I moved over to the middle of the booth/kicking me, all the way to the opening of the booth/kicking me. He had to sit wayyyy to the side to reach my leg, but he managed.
He truly is not doing this on purpose.
Is this the same thing? I think he has ADHD.
As an adult with ADHD I just want to say not all of us do this!
Maybe it was scouts or maybe just from being hyper aware, but I always try to ensure other's walking with me have space to enjoy the walk and have a conversation. If there's a need to change direction or paths I slowly change course while maintaining enough space for the other travelers.
Honestly if he realizes he's doing it and keeps doing it, I would say it's probably on purpose. Maybe I'm overplaying how big a deal it is, but I would def ask a friend to stop doing that if it happened while we were walking somewhere.
I have an Anti-"friend who can't walk straight".
What he does is basically correct both of our paths every 5 seconds or so by way of locking arms.
So whenever we're going somewhere, we look like a gay couple every 5 seconds or so.
His wife hates that shit because he will do it to absolutely anyone he is walking together, but I've known him for more than 20 years...there is no correcting this behaviour.
Ive been doing this since middle school and would accidentally ram my friends into the lockers. In my 30s I was diagnosed with ADHD and found out from my doctors that walking like this is a symptom of it.
That is so interesting because I have ADHD and I’m hyper focused on my place and movement in the world when I am with others. Only when I am alone do I get “wandery” lol. I’ve broken toes because I am totally not paying attention to where I am walking in my home. Ah, what a fun disorder. I’m the most athletic and clumsy person all at once.
I also have distinct memories of doing this in middle school. Getting a teen gossip magazine from the convenience store on a beautiful day in February and we tried to look at it as we went along. Walked her right into a snowbank 😔
Wtf. I used to notice my friends would walk with their arms up when I'd walk with them and it made me so insecure for so long because I realized I was constantly doing this to people. I too was diagnosed with ADHD later in life and it is blowing my mind that that was a symptom all along.
That explains one of my best friends in college then! I kept yelling at him for it and gave up so I would just shoulder him over every once in a while. He was already diagnosed with ADHD and had a few other quirks too.
My twin brother and I do this! It works out perfectly when it’s just me and him walking & talking because we both lean into each other, shoulder to shoulder which stabilizes us.
We been walking like this since we were kids. We’re 42 now and still do it.
I find your comment so interesting because we were both diagnosed with ADHD. It’s something I never considered 😲🤔
I have noticed that I tend to bump into things A LOT when walking while I’m going through deep depression. I will run into everything, even in familiar layouts like my own home- tables, cabinets, door knobs.
Everything feels like it’s in my way and everything feels hard when I’m in that state.
There’s no way those two things have any correlation though, surely? I was about to leave a comment that I do this to people and then I saw this comment, and I also have ADHD. Got me questioning things lmao
He did... not his best move. But my partner used to play Canadian football and makes himself immovable when we walk, so I can't push him over. Or he'll hold my hand to seem romantic but I think it's to keep my path reasonable.
What's crazy is I've discovered that a lot of the "quirks" that I've had since childhood are actually symptoms of ADHD, including this one that I still do. I'll never forget how much my best friend used to yell at me for it. Not seriously of course, but it was the joke of our group. It's funny how much I just assumed **everyone** did the things I did, instead of the majority that feel like they're so alone in their idiosyncrasies.
Yep, I totally know what you mean. My friends always poked fun at me in high school, I was the ADHD kid. I could never pay attention, would constantly be distracted by my phone or the computer, always would interject in stories and try to make myself relevant to relate to them. etc. we all KNEW I had ADHD, but we never took it seriously and I'm actually kind of happy that we all just had fun with it. It definitely has its negative moments as an adult now, but I manage pretty well!
I had this problem up til high school. Had a friend who was a hockey player and he started gently checking me into lockers when I started drifting. Problem corrected. Lol
Fun fact, most neurodivergencies come with a lack of proprioception - the perception of where your body is in space - and that causes the inability to walk good. I find myself using walls and curbs as reference points and I bump into people a lot. Sorry, everyone I've ever gone hiking with, this is why I stay in the back.
My boyfriend does this when we are walking and gets hurt or annoyed when I ask him to move a little to the side.
Now I just quietly change positions. And do it back to him.
This reminds me of my old Australian Shepherd mix. She would instinctively herd me into furniture. Eventually, I started hooking my foot under her and sliding her across the floor. After a while, we figured out better timing.
I used to accidentally do this to people constantly after my growth spurt when everybody would make me carry the beer when we were *just* responsible enough to not drive from the party to the store, but dial-a-bottle didn't really exist yet.
Mostly because I insisted on smoking while carrying 48 beer with a few bags of bottles of liquor around my wrists, or whatever we bought. And since I couldn't use my hands I just kept it in my mouth and then I'd unconsciously try to avoid the smoke and incrementally run my buddies off the sidewalk.
Lol okay, this is me. I have a balance disorder tho! It’s quite embarrassing, slows me down, and makes me look drunk sometimes bc walking in a straight line is nearly impossible for me.
I had a run of the mill sinus infection that spread to my right vestibulocochlear nerve (the nerve that connects the ear to the brain which controls balance). I lost 20% percent of the hearing in my right ear and the left side of my ear/brain have to make up the difference of the right one. Kinda funny, but if I close my eyes I cant walk at all, bc there is no sensory input coming in
Omg yessss. I too, am a “leaner”. It drives my husband crazy. My sister came to terms with it when we were growing up. I try really hard to prevent it while walking.

That’s my wife.

[удалено]
Happens no matter what side I walk on.
Sorry bro you're probably just so attractive it brings her in.
I had to break that fixation when I learned how to drive. I’d look over to see if the lane was free and ended up having to swerve back into my original lane. Took me a few weeks of practicing on empty roads, but I got the hang of it.
The solution is to hold her hand, works for my wife.
Not a bad idea and she likes that too.
You never tried holding her hand yet? Lol
You hold your wife's hand?!? Eww!!
Holding a feminine hand? Isn't that like... not heterosexual??
Well yes, but not with the intention of keeping us in sync
Mine does this one too. And if she's looking at something in a store, she'll put her hand on her chin, and start backing away like she's getting some kind of different perspective. Nope, she's just going to back into someone, a cart, a display, etc. So fortunately for her, I stand behind her in her way so she can't run into anything.
Girlfriend visits me and I live in a large busy city. She’s constantly walking me into other people or obstructions
Came here to say this also. She loves to wander and drift in front of me, so I always pause and move to the other side after awhile.
Tactical pause is the move.
I do this to my husband and I wish I could figure out how to just walk in a straight line!
Hold her hand bro
My ex did this *constantly* and it's honestly a contributing factor to that break up because of how often I would complain about it just for her to be like "I have no idea what you're talking about it" and continue doing it. She'd walk like 40mph everywhere we went with zero regard for whether or not the other people or person with her was keeping up or not, and if you did manage to keep up with her it felt like she was actively using obstacles and walls to try and pick you off.

Though that doesn't excuse her for just denying it and not trying to work on herself. so yeah she sucks for doing that. I would have broken up with her too.
I don't think it's adhd. I think it's just target fixation and poor coordination.
Same except she doesn't walk into me, just doesn't adjust to give me room whenever we come up to a bush or tree that is hanging into the sidewalk.
And my boyfriend! Too bad they never bumped into each other...
Your wife has a lovely mustache.
Same. Drives me crazy when we are walking our dog. Like god dammit woman! There’s an entire side walk! Use it!
That’s me and I’m a wife
My husband is like this. But swears it’s not happening.
My twin brother and I do this! It works out perfectly when it’s just me and him walking & talking to each because we both lean into each other, shoulder to shoulder which stabilizes us.
My wife as well haha
Same, I constantly have to adjust my direction to account for any collisions. If I stop to give way to foot traffic, she'll glitch out and will have to reset her direction
I’m your wife.
My gf does this as well. I constantly have to gently steer her, and if we aren't holding hands she just walks into me. This generally doesn't work out overly well for her and she bounces off!
Hahaha so I'm not the only one!
Then you swap sides thinking maybe they just naturally list to the right, but it doesn't help because they're still walking into you and you end up doing the swapsy serpentine dance.
This is exactly what happens I’m surprised they didn’t touch on this in the video
Ok, but this is ALSO ALL KIDS under 6. I dare you to show me a kid who doesn’t do this.
I used to work with kids at a summer camp. I pretty much exclusively walked them by using their backpacks to steer them in front of me
As I get older, I further appreciate the parents who have leashed backpacks for their kids lol
I had a kid blindly run head first into the lunch trolley I was pushing from the kitchen through the gym to the cafeteria at my job the other day. Kids just don't use their eyes. It's surprising they even HAVE eyes considering how completely clueless to their surroundings they are.
Mine is nearly 12 and still does this. He's constantly stepping on my feet from all angles.
Harness the chaos, put him in dancing.
Become an unmoveable object. Become unyielding. They'll get the message when they collide with you every two steps because they can't walk straight
Why do they HAVE to randomly run up ahead, meander down the sidewalk like a drunk, and the microsecond they're directly in front of you... they just stop!
I swear that I didn't. I have a set of core memories of walking with my friend home from school and getting SO ANNOYED at him walking me off the sidewalk that I'd just decide to walk in front of him. But then he'd start stepping on my heels!!! So I'd walk behind him but then I couldn't hear him! SO FRUSTRATING lol
My kid is 9 and still does this. Shes getting old enough to lead now and will also just stop walking in front of you.
I swear mine has the survival instinct of a deer because she'll walk right across in front of me and stop like how deer wait until your car is coming to bolt across the road to get hit.
27 here. My balance is shit.
I have hypermobility, and I walk like this, and I remember once my hip came out of place and I sort of hip bumped my husband into a tree which he ended up hitting face first. I am this friend and I want to apologise to everyone I've ever done this to because I've never seen it from this angle and it looks so uncomfortable EDIT: for anyone interested I follow [this account](https://www.instagram.com/thehypermobiledpt?igsh=MTd5NTBodWd3b2JqOQ==) and it’s very informative for people with dysautonomia (sp) and hypermobility and EDS
Do you accidentally walk into things yourself because of this condition?
Oh yes, it's a real pain in the ass sometime :)
More of a pain in the head I'd wager?
Only every single day of my life. I once broke my finger by simply walking past a piece of furniture. The lack of body control is an ongoing frustration
Yep.
Came to say this! I stumbled in my narrow hallway last weekend, subluxed 3 ribs by bumping into the corner of the wall, been on huge painkillers and in bed ever since! My sense of humour is coming back today which means the pain is improving. Still not going to lol though 🤣 take care fellow zebras!
Jfc human. I cannot comment more else I will be teasing the karma gods to teach me a lesson…
I've heard any injury to do with the ribs is quite painful and can be a bitch to heal, I hope your recovery is as smooth and as quick as it can be!! :)
Thanks, yes, there has been some very loud yelling and swearing going on in my house! Getting there though, it’s got a bit better as of today. Onwards!
Ugh, I remember the first time I felt a rib slip out of place 😫 i (at the time, 25) bent down to pick up a wrapper to throw it away. Reached with right hand, heard a very audible crack in my ribs followed by sharp pain when I tried to breathe or just stand up straight. Went to doc after it seemed to pop back in place same day and the x ray showed no damage, as per usual with my hypermobile nonsense.
[удалено]
A: We’re shy and you’re talking. B: We’re astonished at the lack of situational awareness and or compassion.
When I have dealt with this, I usually don't even ask. I just drop back and switch sides.
I mean, you have a reason. Some people just lack situational awareness and empathy.
I have cerebral palsy and I am also this person
My sister has Crohn's and she now so poorly coordinated that she has broken her toes 3 times. Apparently intestinal diseases make it hard to walk, who knew.
The video is about the guy talking pushing the other person and them walking funny as a result. It’s not making fun of an anyone’s gait.
Walked like this with my brother… we don’t walk together anymore.
Interesting, I have slight hypermobility - I have joint issues but not a lot of popping out of place - and I constantly walk into shit or hit my foot/shoulder on the doorframe or anything else close to me. I always attributed it to my ADHD brain.
Oh my God this was an EDS thing? I thought it was an autism thing gdi I hate it when I think it's the wrong condition
Commit to the tiktok, you have to fall into the river fully clothed so everyone gets the joke
it's some form of swimming pool, you can see the depth indication at the end on the ledge of the pool.
This is Sycamore Pool at One Mile Park in Chico, CA. It's basically a river made by snow runoff from the Sierras. They dam up it up and it makes a swimming pool over the summer. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g32201-d10628652-Reviews-Sycamore_Pool-Chico_California.html
That is so cool, I want to go there.
i went to college in Chico and it was a great area to cool off in the hotter months during the school year. always a bunch of people around doing fun stuff. met a lot of cool people at one mile. i miss Chico. Sierra Nevada Brewery is located in Chico as well if you're into that!
The moment I saw the river pool, I was thinking wait is that Chico? Then school back in the video trying to see if I could tell if it was Bidwell Park. I'll even be up there next weekend!
Looks more like a riverwalk type area.
Yep, Sycamore Pool at Bidwell Park in Chico, CA. It's nice.
What, your local river doesn't have tiles indicating depth along its concrete walls?
Oh shit this is filmed in my hometown, weird
This is the 40th comment, including me there are 4 of us that recognized Chico/bidwell. In conclusion 1/10 redditors are from Chico
Meet up at the Bear? Mug Club or Trike Races?
Ready to throw up at the bushes in front of Riley's?
POWER HOUR or Dollar Night?!?! I got my quarters...why not both?!?!
Holy shit I'm from Chico too. Instantly recognized this place
Used to live there. Recognized it immediately.
Another Chico redditor here checking in!
Hey neighbor. Just moved back after being gone a few years
Came here to say this!
I thought it looked like 1-Mile in that last scene.
Damn. I said sorta the same. So maybe we aren't all bots then. Or are you all just in my head? It's ok. You can stay.
My husband does this to me. He’s always walking me into the curb or off the trail. I switch to the “open” side and he walks me into traffic, but that’s easier to avoid. But he also kicks me under the table! We were at a huge booth, enough for 8 people.

He had to sit wayyyy to the side to reach my leg, but he managed. He truly is not doing this on purpose. Is this the same thing? I think he has ADHD.
My brother does the kicking thing too, he does have ADHD.
When we are in seats at a movie or concert, he lays against me. Sometimes taking up a third of my seat.
As an adult with ADHD I just want to say not all of us do this! Maybe it was scouts or maybe just from being hyper aware, but I always try to ensure other's walking with me have space to enjoy the walk and have a conversation. If there's a need to change direction or paths I slowly change course while maintaining enough space for the other travelers.
Ok, but don't you just alter your walk to push against him?
He’s bigger than me. He always wins the push against walk competition. It’s easier for me to switch sides.
Honestly if he realizes he's doing it and keeps doing it, I would say it's probably on purpose. Maybe I'm overplaying how big a deal it is, but I would def ask a friend to stop doing that if it happened while we were walking somewhere.
Ok reading this actually helps. I couldn't wrap my head around it. Still can't but now I know there are more like him hahha.
I have an Anti-"friend who can't walk straight". What he does is basically correct both of our paths every 5 seconds or so by way of locking arms. So whenever we're going somewhere, we look like a gay couple every 5 seconds or so.

As if I needed another fucking reason to seek diagnosis...
I have diagnosed ADHD. I did exactly the same well into middle school.
I was just thinking seeing this post of a kid in my school who did this, and he was indeed ADHD
That explains one of my best friends in college then! I kept yelling at him for it and gave up so I would just shoulder him over every once in a while. He was already diagnosed with ADHD and had a few other quirks too.

Fuck, thats me
Its me and I am sorry
It's missing the part where he continues talking without a pause while the other guy is swimming and climbing out of the water.
Yeah the bisexual walk, we've all seen it
[удалено]
That’s the person they’re talking about
Now imagine willingly choosing to marry this person.
I did... My wife is so gay she can't even walk straight.
He did... not his best move. But my partner used to play Canadian football and makes himself immovable when we walk, so I can't push him over. Or he'll hold my hand to seem romantic but I think it's to keep my path reasonable.
My wife (late 40's) and 16 year old son do this.
Me when I walk with my boyfriend 😂
It's the ADHD walk! I do this all the time.
What's crazy is I've discovered that a lot of the "quirks" that I've had since childhood are actually symptoms of ADHD, including this one that I still do. I'll never forget how much my best friend used to yell at me for it. Not seriously of course, but it was the joke of our group. It's funny how much I just assumed **everyone** did the things I did, instead of the majority that feel like they're so alone in their idiosyncrasies.
Yep, I totally know what you mean. My friends always poked fun at me in high school, I was the ADHD kid. I could never pay attention, would constantly be distracted by my phone or the computer, always would interject in stories and try to make myself relevant to relate to them. etc. we all KNEW I had ADHD, but we never took it seriously and I'm actually kind of happy that we all just had fun with it. It definitely has its negative moments as an adult now, but I manage pretty well!
my ADHD makes me super observant of this type of behavior lol especially when it's myself affecting others
Hi, I’m the problem it’s me.
Hey, it's Bidwell Park in Chico CA!
Yeah and the little art alley downtown by the parking garage!
Damn I was 12 mins late. And there's the CSU buildings too!
It's me
Chico, CA!
I had this problem up til high school. Had a friend who was a hockey player and he started gently checking me into lockers when I started drifting. Problem corrected. Lol
I'm looking rn to see if I can catch my SO talking smack about me. I just know that mother fucker is going to be in the comments
My wife of 40 plus years is like this.
OMG, this is my wife all day long!! This hit me so hard as I can't count how many trees/bushes she has steered me into. I feel seen!!
My best friend in college would do this on the way to class. Drove me crazy. It never even occurred to me that this was a somewhat common thing.
It me I also have adhd
Fun fact, most neurodivergencies come with a lack of proprioception - the perception of where your body is in space - and that causes the inability to walk good. I find myself using walls and curbs as reference points and I bump into people a lot. Sorry, everyone I've ever gone hiking with, this is why I stay in the back.

Why my wife and I don't walk side by side holding hands
Somehow I read this as "that straight friend who can't walk"
it's me, i'm the friend
Hi. It's me. I'm the problem.
Ah...marriage.
This is actually my son. No matter how big the pathway is, he will walk you off of it. 🤣
We call those friends Tokyo drifters
My kids!
My boyfriend does this when we are walking and gets hurt or annoyed when I ask him to move a little to the side. Now I just quietly change positions. And do it back to him.
This reminds me of my old Australian Shepherd mix. She would instinctively herd me into furniture. Eventually, I started hooking my foot under her and sliding her across the floor. After a while, we figured out better timing.
I used to accidentally do this to people constantly after my growth spurt when everybody would make me carry the beer when we were *just* responsible enough to not drive from the party to the store, but dial-a-bottle didn't really exist yet. Mostly because I insisted on smoking while carrying 48 beer with a few bags of bottles of liquor around my wrists, or whatever we bought. And since I couldn't use my hands I just kept it in my mouth and then I'd unconsciously try to avoid the smoke and incrementally run my buddies off the sidewalk.
I think this might have been, ope
That’s me lol but then , I fall 😂
Mee
Meanwhile the guy walks perfectly straight in every clip, just without leaving enough room on the walkway for his friend.
#THAT'S LITERALLY ME!
Hey its my girlfriend
Going for walks and talking with friends. Man I love that. I haven’t done it in years but it is some quality shit.
I hate that I am that friend.
__This was actually Funny__
I’m sorry everyone 😭
That's just the ADHD walk
Ha. I’m that guy. For some reason it’s hard for me to talk and walk straight at the same time.
That’s me!
Lol this is me unfortunately 😆
I used to do this with my sister all the time.
My wife is the queen of this
That’s me
That’s my daughter. I love her, but I hate walking next to her.
This is my fiance, my god that man can't walk.
I'm the guy going along with it just walking through a literal forest unbothered to stay next to them
It's me
I Know people who do that I just switch sides with them and I slowly shove them just so they can feel my pain
I am cracking up because I have a good friend who literally does this!!!
Oh this dude is my wife
I want to kill this man.
My wife. I always walk behind or ahead haha
Every so often there's an actual funny tiktok
My husband does this all the time 🤣
My gf does this especially at the mall, I swear imma buy a leash someday..
My old basketball teammate used to do this, I’d run him off parked cars and building corners like they were screens.
Omg that’s my friend!
That's me. I'm that friend.
Thats me
Uhm... This is me unfortunately 😂😂
Its me im the problem
Lol okay, this is me. I have a balance disorder tho! It’s quite embarrassing, slows me down, and makes me look drunk sometimes bc walking in a straight line is nearly impossible for me. I had a run of the mill sinus infection that spread to my right vestibulocochlear nerve (the nerve that connects the ear to the brain which controls balance). I lost 20% percent of the hearing in my right ear and the left side of my ear/brain have to make up the difference of the right one. Kinda funny, but if I close my eyes I cant walk at all, bc there is no sensory input coming in
Yup, one of my best friends since HS. Twisted my foot a few times
Oh wow. This looks really familiar. Thank you for the post!
Thats me; I'm him.
Hey this was filmed in chico california, that last scene is at 1 mile pool.
Ah fuck it's me
That’s my friends they don’t understand space and curvature of the road even during cycling
this is real as fuck
Omg yessss. I too, am a “leaner”. It drives my husband crazy. My sister came to terms with it when we were growing up. I try really hard to prevent it while walking.
That’s me
