The average Pisay student would have spent a lot of his day in the corridors. Being in the corridor thus would ask us to frequently practice good manners. Here are some good etiquette worthy to recall:

1. When walking at regular pace, DO keep near the sides and avoid the center. The reason for this is simply to give ample space for people who might want to overtake you. Your corridors are just like your motorways, cars travelling fast are advised to stay in the center-lanes, those going slow are supposed to occupy the margin-lanes.

2. Just like in the stairs, DO avoid walking in files, especially when your group is large enough to occupy the entire corridor. Without knowing it, your group is already blocking the entire aisle.

3. When two gentlemen walk in the corridors, the one of a higher rank walks nearer the center. When on the other hand a gentleman walks with a lady, regardless of rank, the lady walks nearer the center. This is because the center of corridors, even of staircases, are considered spaces of honour. In Royal mansions, there are specific instructions given to servants (butlers, maids, pages etc.) never to use the center-spaces. Normally the spaces are carpeted red, while the rest of the house are carpeted with green or any colour except red. In military institutions, the same standard applies as in the phrase we normally hear spoken by an officer, "stick to the wall, cadet!"

Recognizing and respecting different ranks of people do not necessarily go against the time-honoured democratic principle that says, all persons are equal. Why? It is because the proper functioning of society requires duties and responsibilities of different and hierarchical degrees: look, not everyone can be president, all at the same time, otherwise what a horrible and chaotic society you will have! The preferences or ranks we give to people are precisely based on their office or function in society, not because they have a higher or a lower dignity. Yes, as persons we are equals, but as holders of various positions in society, we do differ.

"Giving way" is a wonderful consequence of the virtue of humility, a virtue truly good to practice, afterall who really likes to be with proud and haughty people?
