the woman who breaks the norm

Usually after you've entered an elevator (aka lift), you will do an about-turn and face the door, right? But I saw something interesting at my workplace.

This woman (not very nice to call her an auntie though) entered the lift, and continued to face inwards. At first I thought she was with the group of women and was listening to their conversation. But apparently they don't know her and they were going to different floor. She really looked like she was with them the way she looked at their faces while they talked. The lift was far from being packed, and it only has 1 exit. If it has exits on both sides, I still can understand.

I just find it weird.

Reminds me of this lesson on body language, in which they conducted an experiment with a group of people entering the lift and facing inwards, cornering the other amused passengers. Can be very disturbing.
