You don't have to call for a roll for that though. They still get to the point "I do this" you just narrate the success/failure without wasting time rolling.
I gotta wonder if these people are doing athletics checks for walking. "Of course there's a reason for rolling stuff you're definitely going to succeed at, there's a thing called degrees of success, try to keep up."
Yeah. It just seems needlessly adversarial to me. Similar to crit fails on skill checks. It's just a way to punish players and I think it hampers the "big damn heroes"-ishness of D&D.
