If I see a tiled floor and if no one is watching, I try to make sure my foot steps exactly within the boundaries of one tile. It's pretty fun and can be very challenging with the smaller ones.
And what's with the whole 'avoid stepping on cracks' malarkey? I used to step on the slab sides for 'points' and the corners for more 'points', or walk along the cracks. And still do, much of the time.

It has to do with the old nursery rhyme "Step on a crack, and you break your mother's back!"
There are those of us (myself included) who ended up taking the rhyme a little too seriously as kids, and it eventually turned into a game/force of habit.
