Reminds me of Mitch Hedberg:
"One day, I'm going to go to a mall in town, and shut off the escalator. And since people will be confused, I'll write a sign that says 'Sorry for the convenience, Escalator is now stairs'" |

I always thought escalators were made to get up and down stairs EASIER, not faster :conf:
I NEVER walk when headed upward, but i do stand to the right to make way... |
that's what I thought, I would always move to the side (unless I'm rushing too)
Toronto is the only city with escalators where people run up and down like mad, never seen this anywhere in Europe
oh and re: to Dennis' question about elderly using the stairs, well that's almost like asking how people lived in medieval ages, with no electricity or anything
and weren't the buildings only like 3-4 stories high before the escalators were invented anyway? |

At least with an escalator, you're going up or down, there is a little effort required for both.
My biggest peeve are the asshats who STAND on the speed walks. Has life come to this, we need assisted walking? FFS people it's a speedwalk, not a human assembly line. |

speed walk is that flat escalator in airports right? that's so awesome! and yeah, standing people there IS annoying, because people walking on it are usually trying to get to their gate fast |

In the tube in London... no one in their right minds stands in the middle of an escalator. People know the rule.
Like most people in Toronto don't know the left lane on the highway is for passing, they don't know escalator etiquette either. |

| Escalators are not rides. Mr. Hahn, I share your pet peeve. |

| I'm lazy in the mornings, on my way to school, so yes, I stand, but on the proper side, AND I try to squish my body so that even fat folk can slide by my side. :p |
