I also like how they generally won't serve you if you're talking on your cell phone.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Dynamically balancing—the way we walk—is much harder. It looks fairly smooth when we do it, but it's really a controlled fall.
This explains how superheroes like Batman and Daredevil get around town. It's a controlled fall taken to the next level.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's no rule that says you have to control the fall with your feet.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I can totally see Hec doing this. Like, de'd stand in front of someone with both his hands in view, but then use his prehensile tail to reach around and tap them on the shoulder.
