As to the walking on the right thing I make people do that too but its because I'm deaf in my left ear. Maybe it was a similar situation for her? I usually tell people why I'm doing it though because I've gotten enough funny looks about it over the years.

    No, it's because it's considered chivalrous for the man to put himself between the street and his woman to protect her.

    It's 19th century crap that dummies still think is relevant, and there are many of them out there.

    I'm not firm on the details of the situation anymore, but I categorized it under "pretty weird quirk", so I am almost certain there were no tangible reasons and she presented it as a "standalone" need/thing.

    I'm sorry you have to explain yourself sometimes though :(
