Does anyone:

Walk up and down the wrong side of a stair case?

Walk infront of people when going into a door cutting them off?

Look at people in an elevator instead of staring straight ahead?

Just wondering if i am strange......

*grins* I full on contemplate doing that! If it's early in the day and there are few people around, or if I can't be bothered going the extra distance when descending the stairs in the library, I might walk on the wrong side. It actually peeves me when people choose not to! I mean come on, a really simple rule, but everyone likes to hug the centre! The only thing more annoying is when it's a group of girls chatting and giggling and they just keep walking as if to walk right through you! Oh yeah, and if you are a person in a group, the people that just walk straight through the middle, ESPECIALLY if you are holding hands or something! You would think they could walk around! :twisted:

NOPE! Your not strange, I do it all the time. Except for the elevator thing. another thing I hate is walking and then Doing that annoying little side to side "dance" when someone else is trying to get past you, and you doing the same thing. Ughh! How annoying happens all the time.

Which way are you supposed to walk up and down the stairs?

Yeah, it took me a while to figure out that stair rule. It only matters when the stairway is relatively busy.

I used to, but stopped when I realized these things weren't "normal". I still do the second one, on occasions when I'm feeling spaced out.

I do. But who has to look at their feet when they descend steps?

MEEEE! I also sometimes get vertigo, especially going down stairs. This lead to a near phobic fear of stairs at one point, though I coudln't vaoid using them. I'd go very slowly. I'm still slow and always stay by the railing in addition to looking at my feet (hence why I'm sometimes on the wrong side). I walk really fast, too, so it may puzzle people that I'm so slow on stairs- though I can usually go UP them somewhat quickly, I'm quite deliberate going down.

I don't block people when they're trying to come though a door unless I want to piss them off.

It is interesting that you mentioned getting vertigo up and down stairs. I tend to over judge a step going up and always feel like i'm going to fall forward missing a step....

Anyone else?
