Earlier today I was walking down a hall in a public building and met someone coming the other way. I have always been a "keep to the right" type of person and headed to the right side of the hallway. The other person headed left which put us head-on. Eventually he figured out that I was staying where I was so he then moved to his right and passed.
Now for the OC, on topic question. Does it matter to you which side you pass people on when walking? This isn't a real big issue when in the wide open spaces but as they close up as in a hall, narrow walkway, or Store Aisle, which do you always try to do? Pass the other person with them on your Left, the weak side for most, or does it matter.
For me it is not only a matter of "keeping right" to avoid confusion but to always keep the passing party on my weak side thus giving me more protected access to my firearm in the event I need it.
When I was a kid it was pretty much standard but of late I not only have to engage in "the dance" but I see others have to as well.
