I think it is a basic part of being situationally aware....Do you also notice possible exits, suspicious people as they approach, sit with your back away from entrances and try to anticipate dangerous circumstances before they happen?
It is no less normal than wondering....would she sleep with me? How should I introduce myself?
Or: I can win that race.
