If you're walking towards someone on the street and you want to avoid the whole "I'm going left you're going right" dance - DO NOT make eye contact with them and glance toward the way you intend to go. They will automatically go the other way and you won't bump into anyone ever again
this also works for navigating large crowds! you look slightly down and the direction you want to go and watch entire crowds part for you. some people will be oblivious and you may have to walk around them, but for the most part, people being able to subconsciously see where you want to go will make them move out of that way for you.
