    People do this in an attempt to minimize their footprints on the freshly mopped floor, either by walking on their toes or dramatically spacing out their steps. This comes at a risk of slipping though so people use their arms and body to help maintain stability to avoid a fall which results in the “lava walk”

      I alwaya walk on the edges of freshly mopped stairs. I never considered how ridiculous I looked until the janitor laughed.
