In Javanese culture, you are not allowed to step over gamelan instruments, as it is considered disrespectful. If you cannot avoid stepping over one, you must immediately apologize to the instrument.
I will remember this if I am ever around a gamelan.
(If you drop a siddur, you kiss it when you pick it up, for the same reasons.)

Hope you feel better soon.
Thank you.
