Having people constantly walking behind you is incredibly distracting. If I have a wall and no chance of anyone behind me, I won't be nearly as distracted.

Interesting. I'm exactly the opposite. When I see people walking in front of me it's a total distraction. It makes it almost impossible to concentrate.

Indeed; per my other comment in this subthread, if they're known I want them walking behind and to the side of me, but please please not in front, that defeats my "don't pay attention" mental filters.
