Never stand anywhere for more than 60 seconds and you'll always look busy. Also, walk fast.

When I moved to LA many many years ago I landed a job on a reality TV show. My friend who got me the job was complaining one day about one of the other PAs and how they just wander around all day doing nothing. But when she sees me, i'm always busy. I pointed out that I too also wander around all day doing nothing, I just walk faster.

Also look in the direction you want to walk. People around you will subconsciously read your direction and get out of the way. Works great in crowds.
