...and suddenly realise you're walking in the wrong direction. do you:
(a) pivot 180 degrees on the spot without breaking stride and immediately commence walking in the opposite direction;
(b) stand about for a bit waiting, and then set off back; or
(c) check your watch or phone as if some new information has just become apparent, pretend to be thinking for a second, and then change direction?
i'm a (c) man myself... for some reason i think it makes me look less of an idiot.

Hahaha, yeah that's exactly what I do. Of course, you could just continue walking in the same direction, traverse the entire globe and reach your destination when you come back round, but I do not have the underwater walking capabilities to do this.

I normally stop completely, put my hands in my pocket and take them out again, and then I turn and walk.

C, unfortunately. It always make me feel like a geek. As if the people on the street are going to tell all their friends that they saw me pivoting.

yes, that's what's weird about it.
another example: you're waiting in line at a bus stop, say, and you're absent-mindedly kicking something around on the floor. you get a little too into it and trip over your own feet, landing arse over tits in the gutter. (if you possess tits; otherwise arse over, erm, neck)
now that's some embarassing shit isn't it? you would be seriously embarassed... but why?? if you live in even a small to moderate sized city, you will never see those people ever again, and the chance of them recognising you and publicising your shame is vanishingly tiny. but you still care! why is that?
it's an especially clear proof that average human beings react irrationally on a daily basis. (not exactly the only one though!)

another thing (that I often do while waiting for the bus, or something that is equally boring): beatboxing.
It starts off with "clicks," but before you know it it has escalated to the state of full-scale drums + bass line, and everyone is looking at you weird...

beatboxing is fun, I like doing that while walking. At first I went shy when people passed by and stopped it, but now I don't care about those motherfuckkers and watch straight into their scared eyes beatboxing.

HAHAHAHAHA!
I do the same most of the time.. on saturday, me and a few friends were out on town, and when we were waiting for the bus to come when we were going home, i started beatboxing.. they talked a bit, and then I beatboxed a rhythm to their conversation. In the end, we were four people on some stairs doing some "stomp-ish" thing with hand-claps and beatbox and so-forth, and a crowd of drunk people waiting for the nightbus were watching us.. we didn't give a fuck, 'cause we're never going to see those fuckers again!
POWER TO THE BEATBOX!
