I'm super tall and I'm brutal at navigating crowds. I find smaller people, especially savvy middle aged women, are amazing at weaseling in front of me to get on a packed train or bus anywhere that social convention for lining up falls apart.
I also tuck my elbows to try minimize inadvertently elbowing people in the heads.
When I was a kid I got picked on a ton, as smaller, much tougher guys (I was and still am a wuss) would want to intimidate me to feel better about themselves.
