I bet this pisses you off as much as it does to me.

When people stand still on escalators. What the hell? Get your lazy legs walking! Escalators are supposed to speed up the transition from one floor to another. It's not suppose to be a resting ground! Move it!

I created the poll the way it is because I know all of you will agree with me.

I love how the choices are variations of the same sentiment. :p

Um no it doesn't bother me and I stand on escalators. In fact I rarely ever see anyone walk on one as they just get on wait for the thing to be over with and walk off. I also stand on moving walkways though I only know of a few of those I have been on

Sorry dude but most people stand on them. If I wanted to walk I'd take the stairs...

You dont have an option that opposes yours!!!!

But anyway, why should it piss you off? Its supposed to be moving, if it was meant to walk up, then they wouldve made stairs in place of it.

Oh please. Lazy legs? Unless you're taking the stairs you have no room to talk. I'm an escalator stander and when I do try to walk quickly up it, I feel slightly off balance.

PS nice poll options there. :P

Pretty much.

I usually move.

Reminds me of when my dad told me a story about when he was younger, he stood on an escalator, then he got his Vans slip on ate by it, because he didn't walk off on time. :P

Pretty much.

Making this thread is just encouraging people.

I always stand unless I'm in a hurry. I always stand to one side and leave room for others to walk by if they want to.

The escalator thing isn't that big of a deal. But the moving walkways you find in a airport however, are another story. I initially thought that they were there to move faster to baggage claim, your proper gate, etc. by walking on them in addition to having them move on their own. Instead they stand thereas ifthey're on a display window or something, meanwhile I'm trying to be polite as possible to get ahead of them. That's just frigging annoying.

I only have a problem when people block the escalator. If they're standing to the side, I don't care.

In larger airports where you have to walk forever and ever to get to your gate, I think standing on those (off to the side if possible) is fair.

i do hate when people stand on the stairs though. and you have to climb around them

Ha, this is the best topic I've seen for a while

Amen, brother.

I disagree with you TC. Walking was meant for stairs.

No it doesn't piss me off one bit

If you want to walk, take the stairs. I am lazy and therefore I take the escalator.

I stand on them...oh no :shock:

If its an elderly person or someone who has trouble walking I can't really blame them lol, but if its someone who looks perfectly healthy and are making it impossible to pass by then yeah thats pretty rude i think lol

when they block you from walking, thats when I rage face lol

No I think the escalator's purpose is to not waste energy advancing to another floor. If you got a problem with that, just go overtake :P

**** yeah it does :x

I almost always move if I can. Standing still makes me feel impatient like what the hell am I waiting for. When I used escalators the most was when I went to university downtown, and I was always had good reason to hurry. Usually in Toronto standers are on the right. Occasionally you do get renegades and fat people though. What is usually more trouble is slow groups of people who take up the whole sidewalk. :x

I tend to agree. It's so stupid, there was an incident in an Irish shopping centre a few years ago where the power went out. People were stuck on the escalators for hours.

Anyway, I love the poll. We can't seem to disagree on this one :lol:

There should be one side the escalator where people walk and another side where they stand. That way everybody's happy. :)

Blocking is definitely something that confuses me, but we're not all in a hurry. Climbing escalators is way more exhausting than stairs, especially for older people...

I always stand. :|

As long as people stand on the right, I don't care. It's when they completely block the way up when I become upset.
