Some funny things about the office; people like to shuffle their feet as they walk along the hallway. Everybody does it--from the junior staff to upper management. Except the non-Japanese people like me, but after a few days I started to catch myself doing it and have to consciously suppress the urge nowadays :)
One can tell who's nearby just from the shuffling sounds.
*shuffle*shuffle* -> Oh, that's Yamamoto-san.
*shuffle*flop*shuffle* -> What's Nakashima-san from Marketing doing all the way over here?
*shuffle**shuffle*flop*flop*crash!* -> Oops, Ishihara-san tripped over that stray cable again.
Funny episode with a HR lady. Bumped into her in the elevator on my way home one night. Made small talk until the escalator going down into the train station and without warning, she suddenly took off! As if she had been poked by a cattle prod, one second she was right beside me and the other, she was a blur of motion, 0 to 60kmh in two thirds of a second, literally bolting down the steps. I stared at her fleeing figure, mouth wide open in astonishment. Couldn't figure it out why and eventually decided that she was so uncomfortable talking to me, she took off in a supposed hurry :) Hope I didn't cause her any internal injury :D
