subject: Eye Contact When Passing Someone...EXPLAINED [print this page] As for strangers, people usually just kind of space off ahead and when the two strangers meet, their EYES may dart to the other, but they WILL NOT turn their heads. It's kind of like a quick, instinctive glance, and then they're back to looking out ahead.
Oh, and one last note: Except for your best friends who you don't encounter often, if someone's preoccupied, or they look like they're in a bad mood (dragging their feet, looking at their feet, having a hat pulled over their eyes, etc....) leave them alone. You can glance, but keep it a quick, darty glance and then just focus on getting where you need to.
