(Different from jams caused by traffic lights, accidents, and so forth.)I was discussing this with someone a while back and they said they thought it was passive-aggressive; an attempt to prevent others from passing them. I think it's probably more caused by our unconscious motivation to fit into the surroundings/ adapt to those around us- an inborn social trait. I can't find any actual scientific research on this though. less

Attendees have to place their phones in them and lock them prior to going in and can only unlock them in the lobby or outside the venue. If you attended something where you were asked to lock your phone up, how would you react?Inspired by: https://answermug.com/forums/topic/73058/what-s-one-thing-kids-today-will-never-experience-that-you-think#siteforum_post_581277 less

I was on my way to work one time when I decided to make a quick stop at an office building to see someone for a minute. When I entered the elevator car keys somehow slipped out of my hand and went down the slot between the floor and the elevator floor. I managed to retrieve them and not be too late for work. 'Nother time I went to a store then back home -what!! no keys in my pocket. Retraced my route back to the store and there they were on the floor at the foot of the counter. Must have came out with the coins when I dug into my pocket and slipped out of my hand unnoticed. less
