Double-dare

You're walking along and suddenly realise that you have a) forgotten something, b) passed the place you were going to, or c) gone the wrong way.

Why is it that we can't just turn around and walk in the other direction? 

We've got to stop and check our phone, or our watch, or mutter to ourselves like a mad person before we double back.

Why?

We don't know anyone around us.  Chances are we'll never see them again.  In fact, they probably haven't even noticed us.

Yet we feel the need to make such a song and dance about switching directions. 

I'm laying down the challenge:  next time, just turn around and walk the other way.  I double-dare you.
