It's a fine line between insanity and genius. I think that line is ok to step on.

Thanks! I watched a guide on how to stand and I got stuck there!

Peter : "I love snow storms" Anyone : "Why?" Peter : "I can step on everything!"

As a human with feet that walks, this is very helpful. Thank you, Peter.

I wish my parents had these resources when I was learning.

This would make a phenomenal TED talk

After 50 years of subconsciously adhering to that exact strategy, its good to know this is SCIENCE and not OCD. You've saved me years of therapy!

This was the best 24 minutes and 58 seconds of my life. I am now complete.

When someone asks you 'why are you doing that' and you're like...uh let me just draw you a diagram.. Honestly, Peter, this was one of the most relatableeee pieces of content that I have consumed in quite some time!!

My day is getting better and better...because of you man..thanks a lot

I feel like a criminal with a long list of crimes now. I sometimes go out of my way step on a bunch of those things, and leaves on the ground.

“I’m not telling you what to do, I’m just telling you what I do... which you probably need to do”. 😂😏🤷🏾‍♀️🗣

I knew I wasn't the only one doing this while walking.

My God... I have been walking wrong my entire life!

This feels like a test to see if you will make a good fit for Peters' secret club. Ingenious!❤

There are invisible bungee cords tied to anything with a corner on the ground. If you walk into one accidentally, you have to lift your feet otherwise you'll just keep tuggin on the cord

in reference to the man-hole cover, I feel like the triangle is encompassed by the safety of the circle which prevents it from extended lines.

It's good that someone teaches the importance of straight lines. Most moms backs are broken already anyway, due to careless or ignorant children.

17:15 LMAO whenever I go on walks, I find it satisfying to step on an even amount of sidewalk cracks for each foot whenever I'm bored. Unconsciously, I'm like "wait, my left foot feels normal, like it hasn't stepped on something uneven. there's a crack up ahead... but will my foot reach it without breaking the consistency of my stride?" 😂😂😂

As an architectural designer, I find this very satisfying.

Ok why does this seem like it explains how my brain solves problems better than science?

You are a respite from my depression and anxiety. Thank you. Honestly, thank you.

I made it halfway to the store this morning and now I am on the ground in the fetal position because I don't know where I can walk or not.

This changes everything

Imagine this being the first of Peter’s videos someone sees. What a wild ride

I feel like my eyes are truly open for the first time. I have a lot to think about. Thanks for putting this all together in one place.

Thanks I've actually been looking for a tutorial for this for a while Saved the day once again Peter Draws™

you are a mad man for mirroring those driveway lines

This is some of the best content I've ever come across. The weird random thoughts we all have while walking put into words.

Best walking guide since the Run DMC and Aerosmith collaboration!

There are ghosts in the cracks. And triangles are a lot of fun! Many things can form triangles out there on the road. Also there are storm drains, too. They are a bummer as there's always an incline around them. They form like a big sections of no-nos. Also you can avoid some red zones by putting your foot correctly. :)

been searching for a good walking guide for years. Nice to see a veteran making it simple for the beginners

There's an episode of Doctor Who where they meet Van Gough, and there's a scene where The Doctor and Amy are lying on the grass with him looking at the stars (like that one scene in the Lion King where Simba, Timon, and Pumba are looking at the stars), and somehow The Doctor and Amy see the world the way Van Gough sees it, all swirly and stuff. This is our glimpse into how Peter sees the world.

Primitive Peter avoided stepping on snakes and tarantulas.

This is not only the most comprehensive and clearly-illustrated line-avoidance guide I have yet seen in my time(s) as a time traveller, it is also excellent life advice, I think. Sometimes you can't avoid all the cracks, for to do so would be to "punish yourself" unnecessarily, and sometimes the obstacles are not evenly placed. Sometimes there are no lines in sight, other times you may find yourself on a checkered floor at a manhole cover factory. Sometimes it is good to step back and decide what even counts as a line in the first place. But with all that said, if you stay focused and plan out the next step, you'll make it through. Thanks for the vid Peter, very inspiring.

Man, you’ve been in my life longer than some of the pets I’ve cared for, longer than some of my early career choices, even longer than my marriage and as these and other varying failures accumulated I placed each of them in a dank and seldom visited part of my mind with you as the gate keeper who protects me from the unsettling, painful reality that is my life. Thank you Peter. Just knowing you’re out there brings peace to my soul

Definitely the greatest intro yet

Amazing!! This should be taught in universities. I cant believe people come out of school not knowing this.

I've been unable to walk for 10 years after an unfortunate accident involving Bay State Blue ink. After this guide, i am proud to say that i can walk again! Thank you Peter!

This is all correct and you were very right in wearing your safety glasses. This gets difficult and exhilarating when you're a passenger in a car and you have to "jump" over the lines created by things, especially the road markers post things with reflective cats eye circles on them. I've been jumping over them for over 30 years (just with my toes, toe jumps are acceptable). I'd rather enjoy seeing a diagram on this from the perspective of a passenger in a moving vehicle. Unless that's weird and outrageous?

this guy just gets it. he understands.

I feel like you just explained my whole life! Thank you for making me feel like I'm not alone with this!

The most important part of this video is Peter wearing his safety glasses.

SPEED BUMPS HAVE STUMPED ME ENTIRELY, DO I JUMP? They’re too big to step over, but I’d feel wrong stepping around them. Do I turn back around and walk back home?

Coming back two years later, this is still a top tier video

it’s incredible to see how the brain works, and so crazy to see how much we all have in common. so relatable

This whole time I was just laughing to myself imagining how he’s gonna walk on that road with all the stride length changes and then he brings it up and it’s great

every video you post proves your genius more and more

peter as always providing tutorials to things I didn't know I was doing wrong

Lovely belly flash in the beginning there! :D

I love your videos I’ve been watching for about a year now and I find your voice very soothing and I love how your brain works.

For this video, Peter surely thought he was going to come up with the most outlandish video that people shouldn’t watch, but still will for some reason. It blows my mind that I watched most of this video.

How would you navigate a full sidewalk? Do the tire no step zones extend onto the sidewalk? You may want to revisit this topic and cover the implications of navigating the full sidewalk... Do trees impact no step spaces? What about shrubs? Features of each home's landscaping? If it is a business area do the doorway boundaries of stores extend into the sidewalk? What about passing outdoor displays? Or little outdoor seating arrangements? Or perhaps there are absolutely no rules for full sidewalk walking? Total chaos. No puzzling. No fun.

“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” ― Oscar Wilde

Very cool. A Peter video is always a good start to the day :)

I'm glad you mentioned mailboxes and their distance to the road. I was concerned about the impact of fire hydrants on walking patterns. While not formally touching the roadway like mailboxes, they are much more connected to the road than a mailbox on a single post.

How about a t-shit wit this diagram?

This is totally genius and should be teached in every school

The best thing we will learn in 2021, thanks Peter!

i know you've talked mostly about important walking lines but i think it's relevant the classic problem we have to avoid between two closely parked cars and the necessity to walk through them. You must always keep in mind to protect and watch after your calf / leg / pants against an extruding bended license plate. A scratch or even worse, an injurie is lurking there.. if you will ever make a part 2 of this ingenious video i think this should make the cut. Happy greetings from Greece Peter :)

I thought it was just me doing this. I'M WEIRD AND PROUD TO BE! I also count my steps, sometimes, they have to be odd numbers for different pavement types, colours, materials.

“How to Genuinely and Thoroughly Overthink a Topic” by Peter Draws

We need a guide for what to imagine while riding in the passenger seat of a car. For me, I always imagine cutting down all power lines and popping any circles I see.

Seconds best 25 minutes I spent today. 👏

Someday walking glasses will be invented to see all the invisible red lines

I’m very thankful for you making this, it has cleared up all confusion I’ve had about this tricky activity

Honestly, way better than any online class and much informative. A visual introduction of the fundamentals of walking presented in the most didactic way so far, so thank u Peter

I'd argue that the circle of the manhole cover sufficiently circumscribes the triangular lines in the same manner as the w box's lines are fully contained by the square cuts.

A guide: How to develop a Obsessive compulsive disorder.

very happy to see u making videos of whatever the hell u want

Is it weird that when I see that Peter liked other ppls comments I get a little sad...like I've been a die hard for a couple years now. But I never reach the comment section fast enough. Or maybe I'm not clever enough. Why Peter, WHY???!!! Oh well, maybe someday he'll notice me. (Kicks rock)

Mmm Personally I prefer crawling around on all fours I disregard all other rules while crawling

Good that you spent some time to explain, I' ll try to be better and better. I 've got to look this video second time to think more exactly what is meant.

Peter do a safety glasses review. We need to know if they are really safe

Ive been stuck inside because I was scared to go out and not know how to walk in the road, this was v helpful 4 stars

This really is my favorite video I've seen in a long time

I think you should look at the triangles in the manholecovers as you did with the arrows. Nicely in the triangle or not touching is okay. 🙂 When cycling i used to look for a gear that coincided with something on or alongside the road. I totally dig it! 😅😋😍

Made my day! Thank you so much! I thought I was the only one. Sometimes, I also really enjoy the Ministry-of-Silly-Walks-thing. Depends on my mood - and if my children are with me or not. They don't like it when I am too silly.

May we get a part ii explaining rules of trail walking, that is where I do most of my walking and I feel like I need to know the rules. Which roots do I avoid, what do I do on boardwalks, what rules apply to small and large bridges. Again, thankyou for this walking insight.

BELLY BUTTON!! Sorry... I felt compelled.

This is the most important video I will ever watch.

I genuinely love how he says impordent ❤

Yk, you posted this right after I had fell cause I forgot how to walk- 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I know this is perhaps irrelevant yet when I was a youngster walking around at night there were no streets, not in my neighborhood it was dirt roads you had to go tens of miles before even encountering blacktop! I could walk to dozens and dozens of neighbors in my neighborhood before encountering anything more than a dirt road. One neighbor had concrete driveway, I rarely visited them never at night or walking! I did enjoy your video Peter thanks for keeping us all entertained wishing you only the very best of everything take care be safe and enjoy your weekend coming up it’s just around the corner, a 90° corner that is square and cut.

You are a treasure thank you for sharing your knowledge.

So glad Peter took the time to explain this for me. Love you, Peter!

This is kinda like playing Sudoku with your feet

Even with the labeled pictures this whole blueprint would be an undecipherable relic to an outsider of this in depth explanation of feet placement lmao 🤔🦵🏼🦿🦶🏼🤷🏻‍♂️

Man, my moms back is really going to thank me.

I love you for this.

I absolutely love your sense of creativity 😆

Omg, Peter you actually just explained my OCD perfectly!!! My brain extends imaginary lines from other lines or edges or objects along the floor that I “can’t” step on or else something “bad” will happen. If I do step on one of those places, then I need to do one of my compulsions to “undo” the mistake I made. The more stressed out I am, the more lines my brain draws and the farther it draws them. At my worst, when I am really stressed out, there is no place to step at all, and I have to stand or sit where I am until I calm down enough that my brain deletes some of the lines. This is literally insane how accurate this was for me even though you were probably just doing it for artistic purposes. Is it possible that you have the same or similar problem and this is what inspired you to draw this diagram? Or was it just a coincidence? And for the manhole cover/triangle question, the lines continue on their own for me lol When close friends or family or my therapist have asked what is going on in my head, it’s always difficult for me to explain. Now I can just show them this video!

Oh gosh, thank you! I've been worming my way everywhere and lately, people have been giving me looks since I'm practically an adult. This would've been so useful for when I was a kid!

The illustrated lecture I didn't know I needed! Thank you, Peter, for fulfilling unrecognised development needs.

Thank you, very comprehensive!

So much I didn’t, réalise about walking down a street🤓 Thank you for the heads up✌🏽✌🏾✌🏿✌🏼

Dearest Peter, I had to interupt your "Where NOT To Put Your Feet When Walking" video @ 18:41.Because I had just woken up and nature was calling. So then I thought why NOT just comment now and watch the rest later? So many things were already buzzing through my head when I think about walking. (What is walking when you can fly, was one of them). *Clears head for next paragraphs because this is another one of "When Adu does NOT stop commenting", comments.* So your very detailed video was left on my Android. I so wanted to try and go back to sleep. (Day dleeper here, that randomly turns onto her KZfaq when she wakes up to go to the loo). Sooooo, then I could NOT go back to sleep, as I contemplated your drawing for visual learners as I am one. As I tried so hard to sleep again, my rabbit trail mind started drawing her own diagram(s) and I went through all kind of scenarios for a night time walker, (I am also part vampire), person who lives it the sticks, (H.E.L.P!) Soooo, because of the very different obsticals for foot placement during her walk, I had to shift gears. But I promise you, my drawing in my head became quite an interesting video? And becsuse I am half Sicilian, I would fear for any living thing that I encountered on said walk through the hilly, pot-holed, lots of sticks counrty street I would walk on. Hence, flying would be more appropriate, as I said above? Sooooo, AGAIN as I was thinking on this, and NOT going back to sleep, my day dream switched gears to - "Why not roller skate, instead of fly?" On that gear, my mind visuals changed, and I was skating quite joypusly on the very large church parking lot!? Obsticals crushed as I derby style skated. Then oh, what fun that scenario was! In addition after that gear, my rabbit trail mind hopped another walking alternative. For this I would have to drive the 3 miles to downtown AFTER midnight, when NOTHING is open. Albeit, here they do have sidewalks downtown. However, I would prefer to walk down the middle of the somewhat slopping six lane highway. In this scenario my mind wandered down the middle of the main downrown highway, it would seem like a ghoat town I assure you. Quiet and simewhat eerie. So then my day dream here was interupted by the obsticle (sort of), of what I would say to a police officer as they do patrole our hick town at night. I do know this for a fact, DO NOT ask why, lol. So now my rabbit trail mind is going VROOOOOM, because I see the police cars flashing lights making colored shadows in front of my waljing feet, A sly grin was forming in real life and I truly laughed aloud here in bed, as I got my sinister "comedy, try to talk seriouz actress hat on". This was even MORE fun! Then my rabbit hopping mind that could NOT go back to sleep, started the creation mode gear. Ha!! Which Peter, you talked about in another video not too long ago? My creation mode urge mind has a strorage room filled with cabinate storage bins in my brain. True, hence why people always say I am very creative (I recluse in real life because I am NOT for sale in creation genres of many sorts). So in this room of cabinets there does contain some drawers of drawing, digital, and 3Dish app tools. By the way, that cabinet room is extremely large and the rummaging is super duper more fun than the previous walking, skating, and acting "subcategories" my mind has going through before writing this to your comment section, on my very small android keyboard? Sooooo, I bid you fair "Adu", as nature must take over again (breakfast, another trip to the loo etc. etc.) THEN, I get to real life plan those creations. TOO much fun to edit right now and correct my typos above. Which I promise to do later as I am a perfectionist also, even on pause mode. Oh! And I promise to finish watching your video hetePeter? What a cool obstical course!? *Makes a mental note to watch Peters KZfaq Channel before my night wanderings* ❤😎😁🧛‍♀️🧙‍♂️🧚‍♂️🤔🤓❤

I’ve never felt so productive and unproductive at the same time. 😂 Thank you.

Peter, you are always an inspiration

The creativity involved in your content is inspiring. Who thinks of this?! I love it. Thank you, been watching for years (before fountain pens)
