Woow... if any of these people we're making eye contact this wouldn't happen so easily...

Why is eye contact so awkward, anyway?

"People are strange..." :|

This was originally a study carried out at an american university where someone would duck down behind a serving counter to get a file and a different person would stand up instead. sometimes even people of differing sex or greatly differing appearance. (i am not certain if this is change blindness as someone stated earlier though it might be not sure)

I think some of the people realize something is not right. They just second guess themselves
