I have noticed that in many places in Europe, it is customary to squeeze by facing inward and looking at the people sitting down, but in America, the opposite seems to be customary. In fact, I have experienced many an awkward moment when, entering a concert hall or theater in Germany or Italy, I have naturally turned away from my seating companions as I entered the row to find my seat--which gave rise to some confused looks. I don't know if this has been everyone's experience when comparing options, but it has certainly been something I have noticed.
