Some other things to add:

  • Stand left, walk right on escalators and moving walkways
  • Do not walk more than two abreast, and be aware that there may be people behind you who want to walk faster.

My main gripe with society is that everyone else is in their own little worlds and I'm stuck in the real one dealing with them all.

Stand left, walk right on escalators and moving walkways

This may be region-specific. In my area, I generally see it the other way around. But unless you're the only person, it's usually pretty clear which side to stand.

Yeah, I got it backwards. Unless you're in a former Commonwealth country and you drive on the left

Treat yourself like a car and park - I see too many people just stopping in the middle of wherever to check their phone. It's not hard to take a quick glance and find a spot off to the side. They should teach this stuff in schools.

This will get you killed in the UK. People would cheer.
