Bad as a habit as few people may say but I do feel it is a great way to enjoy while you walk. I do kick the pebble or stone while I walk. It is highly amusing. Yeah many a times it did hurt me but still I love to do it. I have even witnessed people being addict of this habit but its fine if you don't harm yourself. How do you feel about this ? Does this really an amusing thing ? Will/did you mylotters ever try it?

Hi MightyLeo. I have seen many people do this mostly guys. I know that my son does this often while he is walking. It is not something that I myself, usually do. I guess many people kick stones and cans when they are mad, annoyed or deep into thought.

I don't do that too often, but sometimes, when I feel really bored I tend to hit the objects on the ground with my foot. A bad thing about it is that doing that can cause damage to my shoes. But yea, I find that quite entertaining sometimes.

Hi, When I was a kid, I used to do these things. On my way to school,walking, I used to kick a stone or a can near my house and try to shift its location as near to my school. There used to be one hindrance, that is I had to cross a traffic signal. So always or at least most of the time I used to kick something up to the signal and then forget about it. I remember of kicking these things on someone else (by mistake) and the other person not knowing who did it, and I giggle past him happily. Those were fun days. Now, I feel it is immature to do such stuff. Once in a while, I still do such things these days.

Yes I do find it amusing, sometimes even therapeutic... When I am walking off my frustration, it makes me feel better in a weird sense but I never really thought about it until I read this discussion.. Another reason I would kick stones while walking is I can get bored, and its something to do while i am walking, see I can not drive, before I had children for the most part I walked everywhere I needed to go.. Great exercise, and I didn't have to bother anyone else for a ride..

I enjoyed kicking stone and can as well. I don't know why I like it though. I guess I like the sensation of kicking and send something flying and the sound it made as well. Not to mention when the object starts to spin..Oh..I don't want to stop doing that in an empty space.

I experienced kicking stones when I was in my grandma's hometown. My grandma's hometown is really in the country side and they are really a few cars passing by and neighbors are kilometers away from you. Well, we were walking on the road and I tried to kick rocks while we were walking. I liked it because I thought it was cool. And I saw this rock and kicked it hard but it was mounted there so instead of the rock flying away, I felt like my toes flew away. It was really painful and I had a bruise on my big toe. And I never kicked rocks again.

I have kicked pebbles and stones, etc. I never kick any too big, usually just the size of a gumball if even that big. I may have kicked bigger ones before but don't anymore because it's no fun to kick something that's going to hurt you.

i guess this is something like a childish work. but yes, i did have this habit when i was young. but since i start working, i don't have this kind of habit. i just kick some people's butt if they go against my way.

I do not intentionally kick anything while I am walking, although I admit that once or twice I have accidentally kicked a pebble or stone. If you are kicking something, then your attention is focused down at the ground, and you miss so many of the wonderful sites and things going on around you. When I walk, I like to look at the scenery, enjoy the view, watch other people that are around me, watch animals scampering and playing or birds flying, etc. If I was just focused on the ground, then I would miss so much of the world that is right in front of my eyes.

hie mightyleo, its a good habit to unlearn this habit. i know it gives you something to do, thrill and excitement. yeah you may hurt yourself and maybe others in the process. still, its good to stop this habit slowly and you be glad that you do it. have a pleasant day ahead.

I do this a lot when I am walking along, but I always take caution because I have witnessed in the past for somebody to accidentally kick a stone into a window and smash it Although I was really scared at the time, thinking I would get the blame for it as the culprit sprinted away from the scene
