    I’m also a room enterer. I walk very very quietly. To avoid scaring people I sometimes sing a little song. It goes something like:”Noisy Roger, he’s so noisy! Making noise, that’s Roger. No–isy Roger.” Sometimes I sing my song too quietly and accidentally sneak up on people anyway.

      Sounds like a horror movie:”When you will hear his song it’s will be too late”

      Or, “Noisy Roger. He’s so noisy! Gonna stab you when you hear me…”

      [Now I’m laughing! Imagine just casually singing this to yourself while walking around the office full of co-workers.]

    Maybe she was hard of hearing, that’s why people are always startling me.
    Hey, THAT would be a good title for a horror movie…The Startler!

      My wife gets startled by me all the time. I ask, “Who did you think it was?”, to which she has no coherent answer. I think The Startler would make a good title for a 6 part mini series on the Lifetime cable channel.

    Me too, I keep telling my wife, “I live here, expect me”. 30 years later, still jumps…

      Yeah, I tried the same line, got the same response. For a while I was announcing myself loudly from the other room before entering. This got annoying.

    And yet noone appreciates my trumpeters fanfare whenever I enter a room. No pleasing some people.

      Yeah, I’m with you on this one. first sign I’m approaching: the ground shakes. Then you can hear the stomping. When I finally enter the room, people are confused because they half expected an elephant.

      I don’t do it on purpose and have no idea what I should do to be quieter…

    In medieval times some people deemed evil such as gypsies, whores etc. had to wear bells so they could be heared coming. Maybe that would be a viable model?

      Gifting your wife a bell by quoting that historical fact is not really a wise idea.

    We’ve got two cats. One of them is a big, relaxed doofus, who always sits near or on me. The other is a high-strung (if incredibly sweet) bundle of nerves, who always sits next to or on my wife.

    It gives TWO chances to startle when I walk in the room. If Nora (the cat) startles, Lis (the human) will jump. If Lis jumps, Nora will run.

    So, yeah. Not only does this have TWICE the chance of happening in our house, when it DOES happen, it’s twice as impressive.

        Talking about the future and flying something, we finally got floating hoverboard! It’s working perfectly and Tony Hawk tried it! This is just so awesome!

    My ma scolded me twice after I walked in and it’s too silent (It’s a big house so it got small amount of people per meterยฒ and also the house got a stories about “transparent entities”). My mother is already in her mid 60s so I tried to be loud enough wherever I go.

    Despite being 6′ and 200lb I still manage to seemingly sneak up on / ambush people in my own home constantly.
