When people pass each other in a restricted space there needs to be cooperation, to avoid awkardness, and to allow each other to travel, unrestricted. People who don't have corridor manners are not good to be around. Having corridor manners shows that you are paying attention to other people and treating them with consideration. It makes life easier and much more pleasant. It is great to have a pet with corridor manners too, otherwise accidents happen.
In my household the creatures lacking corridor manners are Rufus, Tiger and Lucky. Blue has good corridor manners, although they can be overridden by interrupting focus: moving toy, food, competition and nerves. Knowing that everyone has corridor manners, means that when you get bumped it is on purpose. That's the downside.
Examples of corridor manners:
making someone wait to walk by, instead of taking up less space to let them pass
barging on the pavement
Examples of poor corridor manners:
most outings in any car
dogs pushing past, naming no names but labradors and great Danes in particular
pavement traffic
along the aisles in supermarkets
