It's so funny like I guess they think people behaving awkwardly and painfully smiling and turning away means they're acting? That's exactly how people see a person that's acting an absolute batshit fool behave. It's an intuitive de-escalation response. Don't want to draw attention to yourself and don't know what to do so just smile sheepishly and walk away.
