I like to use this phenomenon as a useful experiment on myself. Sometimes I'll make a point of attempting to clear a path for myself by outward demeanor alone [eye contact, body carriage, etc.], or conversely, I'll make a conscious effort to 'make way' for even the meekest person that comes across my path.
Personally, I find the 'Mover' mindset is only slightly more difficult to maintain than the one needed for being the 'Movee'.
Also interesting to observe is the reaction caused by moving out of the way of someone who is clearly attempting to slink out of
your way -- besides resulting in the typical slapstick-type "Are we dancing?" sort of exchanges, I have noticed a certain panic-like response from the folks trying to avoid notice/dominance/etc., usually followed by a brief instant of 'proud puffed-upness' after they realize I have deferred to
them. This effect is more noticeable if I apologize to them excessively, avoid direct eye contact, and smile nervously at the floor.
Of course none of this works with morons yakking away loudly on their cell phones.
