when you walk down the hallway do you walk in the middle or scurry along the side.

I was in the hospital today and noticed most people seem to be walking along the side of the hallway.
 
I normally walk on the right side, since we drive on the right side, in this country.
Same here. Some people walk in the middle (on the sidewalk too) forcing people to walk around them. Same thing in elevators. Some people stop just 1/2 a step inside the elevator forcing people behind them to walk around them.
 
This bugs me on escalators. "Walk left, stand right" is a thing.
 
I believe that walking on the right hand side (since we drive on the right hand side, in this country) makes sense in most situations, including hallways, corridor, escalators, sidewalk, paths in parks and malls. However, a lot of people don't follow this guideline, and they are not all immigrants, who may drive on the left hand side, in their country or origin. It amazes me.

Never gave it much thought before by I am the same including pulling out and passing slow walkers on the left side.
 
If the hallway is free of traffic, I'll drift toward the middle.
As soon as there's traffic, I'll walk on the right.

Same as driving, slower traffic on the right, pass on the left.
Not that many drivers in Toronto understand that simple concept.

My god, no pun. Have you taken a walk in the snow?

I met some Spanish tourists last year and they said that all Europeans drive on the right except the Brits. The rule on the sea is that you always go right when approaching another ship, same should apply on the roads but some people don't know that rule of the road.
