More people just need to be walking period. I always park at the back of a lot because there’s no one ever there and I don’t hate walking

I live in Arizona. During summer I park in the shadiest spot.

I mean, aside from not wanting to walk, there is another reason women may want to park closer to the entrance. I was taught to park close to the entrance in a well lit part of the lot to reduce the odds of getting jumped by some creep. Not saying that is the case for your girlfriend but worth considering.

That’s totally fair. I have never had to think about that sucks that would be the case for women.

I am very disappointed that they failed to analyse the ambulatory stylings of Mrs. Two-Lumps.

Also they failed to analyze the fact that silly walking is very effective when you want to avoid drawing the attention of Arrakis sandworms.

Or to change your gait for identification purposes

Gait analysis is actually a thing, it surprised me when I learned the will use it to help in identification.

It is. But is reasonably east to fool by just minor changes, such as wadding tissue paper under your food inside your shoe. More useful methods are based on joint distances and are harder to fool.

There’s a tradition of silly studies in British medical journals released on Christmas

> [...] Adults could achieve 75 minutes of vigorous intensity physical activity per week by walking inefficiently for about 11 min/day. Had an initiative to promote inefficient movement been adopted in the early 1970s, we might now be living among a healthier society. Efforts to promote higher energy—and perhaps more joyful—walking should ensure inclusivity and inefficiency for all.

I would join a club of silly walkers. The amount of douchebags who like Monty Python I suspect might be very low. ¡!NO CAMEL TOE PRANCING!¡
