Okay so I def learned this from black men, but I really love the practice of humming a tune when youre trying to walk past ppl on the sidewalk n such, instead of saying "excuse me". The hum alerts ppl to your presence, without creating a social situation where words need to be exchanged.

Usually ppl are listening to their surroundings (at least in the city). If you say "excuse me", ppl turn around, register where you are and then move. If they hear a sound behind them they naturally move out of the way. The hum is friendly, universal language, but does not require a verbal response.
