People have a strong tendency to be different from one another (e.g. are horrified to be caught in the same dress, find it weird to order the same dishes as their companion without comment or to choose the same art for their living room).
How universal is this?
To me it seems like a cultural difference. If four people get to a restaurant offering four meal choices, the stereotype goes that in America each of them will order a different meal choice, but in Japan each of them will order the same choice, regardless of their actual preferences.

Also, some people like wearing uniforms.
