View submission: What’s the weirdest “unwritten rule” everyone just follows?
Getting into lines with no direction to do so. Walking on the right hand side of the sidewalk (hallway, stairs, etc).

I’ve noticed people from left-hand drive countries walk on the left side of the aisle. Is that true?

In England 50 years ago, these long and wide escalators led down into the subway. Unwritten rule, stand to the left, the right side is for people charging down the escalator really fast.

I wish people would default to one side of walkways. That's not common in my experience.

Yeah, I was at Walmart and the way the line was set up encouraged you to be on the left side, I slide to the left side and a Walmart employee tries to walk there as it's his right. Pretty sure I annoyed him, but it's the stores fault imo

Seems like my pet peeve is more common than I thought with everyone doing something different. Just what I said.

I use lines as a message to check first. Since I know most people are not paying attention. Most of the time I find a faster way to get what I am looking to get done.
ESPECIALLY exiting buildings. Lines of 10 doors and everyone is using 1.
Blows their fucking minds when I randomly open another door.
