    People do this in an attempt to minimize their footprints on the freshly mopped floor, either by walking on their toes or dramatically spacing out their steps. This comes at a risk of slipping though so people use their arms and body to help maintain stability to avoid a fall which results in the "lava walk"

    Yeah, you're not doing it to let them know, you're doing it to minimise floor contact. What is this?

        I think I've said sorry if there's someone mopping, but I still do the funny walk if no one is there but I can see the floor is still wet. The funny walk is absolutely to avoid mussing up the floor again. idk, this post seems like the "why are people tapping eggs at the supermarket" type post

        EDIT: Sorry, I'm being rather grouchy.
