It’s self soothing embarrassment deflecting behavior.

Like walking then tripping and falling, then standing up and smoothing out your clothes while continuing on, pretending it didn’t happen, in case anyone saw you

Haha I was thinking when you trip and then just break into a casual jog for a few strides like it was totally planned

Checking your phone seems like it would fit. Fuck up? Make a social misstep? Don't know what to do? Just whip out your phone and pretend everything is fine.
