It's frankly amazing that these two emotions can be reconciled long enough for anyone to find love. (startrek.website)

You're being overspecific in your mind about the physicallity of my use of "pounce".

I meant "pounce" in the sense of initiating the sequence of actions of an attack (say, get up, run and pull somebody's purse) not in the sense as a the physicallity of a tiger pounce.

That said, this mismatch of impressions nicelly illustrates how you can't to assume that the person on the other side thinks the same as you: you really can't presume that somebody else feeling a bit scared and paranoid by your footsteps that sound like somebody following her has taken the time to ponder on what the best moves for a thief are, and reached the same conclusion as you that stopping, tying your shoelaces and looking around isn't at all what a thief would do to simulate not being a thief.
