Picture this:
Your father gets home from a long business trip. He caught a bad cold and didn't get home until 10pm. It's 3am and he is sleeping in the room beside the kitchen. You're in your room. You're thirsty and hungry so you creep into the kitchen to your best ability, crack open the fridge, pull out a drink, then pick up some chips.
Now, here is the question:
Are you the stealthy ninja--- quiet and unheard, your father doesn't wake up. The fridge makes little to no noise,and the chip picks up without noise because of your skill.
or
the loud horse--- You creep to your best ability, but the fact is, you just thump-thump-thump. The fridge makes a squeak as you open it, the drink bumps on the side of the fridge, and the chip bag crinkles and cracks as much as it can. Your father wakes up, angry.

Which are you?

Somewhere in between. I can walk quietly at times, but sometimes I'm just noisy. As for the fridge... Mine squeaks horribly so I'm assuming it's just me with the way I open it. Plus if I walk too slowly, almost enough not to make a noise, I may trip over something that makes a noise instead. Or whack my knee with the fridge door. So I'd say I can be either or something. :P

Haha, it all depends on the surroundings. I mean.. I can't even turn in my sleep without waking up my mother (she's a light sleeper and well, my bed is noisy. More importantly, their room is just across the hall), and opening my door is like a troup of elephants marching down the street cause the bloody thing remains stuck no matter how much I pound on it (which can be quite frightening sometimes).
Then there's our hall which is creaky as hell. Take one step and it feels as if the attic's gonna fall on your head.. and if you live through that, the next task at hand is to make it downstairs without producing sound: impossible. Every step has a choir of frogs installed beneath it, causing a massive tumulus when heading downstairs because, seriously, every step creaks. Loud.
Once downstairs, it's all pretty easy. Make it to the kitchen without having the dog jump at you and wagging it's tail against the couch, creating some sort of orchestral symphony, and then you're done!

Or well.

Now it's time to head back upstairs again, of course. :gonk:

aha, I would be pretty screwed if my house was like that. It's creaky, but it's loud enough with that. Combine it with my walking& BOOM. It wakes everyone up.

lol... I'd SKIP the chips as that would be a bad idea to grab, and opening a fridge makes a tad bit of noise, though it's also not uncommon to get a bit to drink at 3am if you wake up so yeah that part would be easy...

...plus the constant grinding my laptop makes would drown out any sounds I could make XD

I'm somewhere in between, I guess. There are times when I've woken my parents up and there are times when I haven't. I guess it depends on how late it is and how deep a sleep they are in.

Sometimes I can sneak, and others, not so much. I'm usually careful, and therefore, I'm somewhere in between, I think. My daddy snores really loudly though, so the snoring would probably drown out the extra noise... XD

Loud Horse FTW

But my dad would never be on a business trip and while he was alive my room was closer to the kitchen than his -thumbs up-

I used to sneak out of the house all the time when I lived with my parents. They never knew I was gone most the time. XD I also get people saying that I "sneak up" on them too even though I don't try. So I'd have to go with ninja-like.

I find I am real quiet when I do not mean to be - or need to be.

But when I need to be quiet - or worse yet - when I try. I knock everything that is not nailed down over, I usually walk into walls. Injure myself in a way in which I must yell something.

I'd say its a gypsies curse xD

I tend to be stealthy. Heck, last night I made popcorn without waking ANYONE in the house...not even the cats.

I can move quietly, but I'm really clumsy so I'd definitely bump into something/knock something over/drop something and make enough noise to wake the whole house. ;;

It's why I make sure to keep a drink pretty near to my bed, since I wake up thirsty on a regular basis and I don't want to go destroying the kitchen in the dark, haha.

Somewhere in-between. I'm really quiet when i don't have to be, and loud if I have to sneak around. >_> Normally when i walk around, i miss that one creaking board by the door, but when i have to be quiet i always somehow end up stepping on it haha

@Suzhi: You have a creaking board by your door? That confuses me, like on your wall?

I'm so loud, tromp tromp tromp

I'm fairly quiet most of the time. I'm up the latest in the house, so I try not to crash about the place, as sleeping people would get grumpy at me.
The noisiest I get is when someone online says something funny or if I see a particularly funny picture like I did on passive aggressive notes the other night and I couldn't help but laugh out loud... mid laugh I realised that that was going to wake someone up and I had to turn the laugh into a cough in case anyone noticed.

I'm actually pretty loud and clumsy, but my house is pretty old since it creaks a lot. But my whole family are heavy sleepers so we never wake each other up when somebody has a late night craving.

I do wake up my boyfriend a lot though when I go to get something to drink. He usually gets annoyed but enjoys it when I bring some food over for a late night pig out.

I wish i could be stealthy and all ninja like. That's be sweet!

well im kinda both i would walk quetly to the kitchen and open it nearly quetly and probably find nothing XD to go t the counter for chips and get caught for i would probably bump into something. then i would stand there quetly for like two minutes before my next major move only to open the chips and have my dad walk out. but he wouldnt be angry he probably would be getting up to either tell me to go to bed or eat chips with me XD
