Arrivals and departures
Comings and goings are the arrivals and departures of people, or more broadly, the activity and movement in a place: She kept track of the comings and goings at the office.
The phrase often implies busy or frequent movement, sometimes with a hint of curiosity about what others are up to: The neighbors noticed all the comings and goings next door.
