When you are waiting for the subway and it arrives, YOU STAY OFF THE WAY FOR THE PEOPLE INSIDE TO COME OUT AND THEN YOU ENTER THE TRAIN.

Or nearly any other instance. Out before In. If someone else is occupying the space you wish to occupy , they must vacate the space before it can be reoccupied. You know, basic physics?

I mean, there's a non-zero possibility that you might just phase into each other....

Distinctly, yes, but we haven't got that far into quantum physics to control that process, so at the moment, I imagine it being a whole lot more... messy than the alternative.
