strange question about something awkward
We have all been to the movies or to a ballgame or just an event. Most of the time, to get to our seat we have to walk past people that are already sitting. Is it more polite to walk so we face away or face towards them as we do so. One way our butt is in their face but the other our crotch is. I was just curious what people think.

I usually walk by them facing away so that if I should lose my balance, I can grap a hold of the seat in front of me.
But, if I face towards them and lose my balance, their face will be in my "boobs"...what a way to meet your future boyfriend!!!

You need to say excuse me and then slide on down not facing them making sure you don't step on their feet. At every concert or theatrical production I've attended people face away from them so they can grip the seats in front for support.
I've not once in 20 years of concert going ever seen people slide by facing towards you. There's something weird about doing it any other way. It's perfectly acceptable and typically the norm to do it that way. Nobody faces each other. I've never seen it done. Sure enough a week after I answer this someone will do it in front of me.

!!! Funny!! I've thought about that, myself.
I think it's better to face your butt toward someone than your privates! Also, when you face someone you don't know, close up and head on, you are invading their space. I think your butt facing them is less invasive, which is why people automatically turn their butts toward people in that situation.
