I remember a woman on reddit saying she’d be more comfortable if at night men behind her were being as loud as possible so it doesn’t feel like they’re trying to sneak up on her. And on the one hand, fair enough, on the other hand I don’t see any practical way of implementing that without seeming mentally unstable and rolling back to being threatening.
Talk on the phone about DnD; nothing intimidating about a grown man whining about the hobgoblin’s challenge rating being too low for a creature with 18 AC fighting players with no higher than a +5 attack roll at level 1 or 2, even with combat advantage.
You could also start talking about your lord of the rings meets pokemon cosplay outfit.
I whistle while walking normally, but people still complain that I sneak up and spook them; so I wear my keys on my hip like bells on a damn cat collar since mosying around like Elle Driver apparently isn’t enough of a warning.
