When you step into North Corel, does anybody else try to pass in front of the first NPC before he crosses the path?

I always have to pass above him before he arrives at his destination. When he gets there he always shakes his head... so if I didn't make it I always feel like he's mocking me.

Does anyone else do this? Please say yes so I don't feel like a freak of nature.

Also, discuss this guy. What is he really shaking his head at?
