A girl, around 25 years old, steps on my pinky with all her weight while messing with her phone.
I've tried many times to do CHT with people standing on the bus, but 99% of the time, it's just a quick step before they notice it. It’s rare for someone to stay on for long periods, and when it does happen, it’s usually with someone on their phone. However, I’ve noticed that when I only use my pinky, my success rate goes up quite a bit. The problem is that when all the weight is concentrated on just one finger, especially the pinky, the pain can become unbearable pretty quickly.
I thought she would notice after she touched my pinky with her toe, but she was so glued to her phone that her awareness was completely out of the way, just how we like! :)
