The creators of this video violated a norm prevalent in walking patterns. When walking, people will stagger themselves about an area in order to avoid walking next to someone they do not know. This can be observed anywhere that I've ever been, save for if there are too many people to enable this unspoken policy. I hope my explaination of this norm was sufficent, but if you are still confused, check the video's spot on youtube, because the makers of this video, username edanilkis offers a much better explanation. Under the discription for this video, it states that it was filmed in Funchal, Madeira. which I looked up because I'd never heard of it. According to their website, Funchal, Madeira is, "Europe’s most picturesque and cleanest capital." Anyway, it is not in the United States, which obviously points to this norm being wide-spread and not exclusive to the American Culture. So, faithful followers, is this something that you see in your spot on the globe?
