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

I don't use escalators because I am in a wheelchair... But I hate people that use elevators when they are perfectly able to walk... I understand if you have a large bag or it is several flights... But I sit around waiting a LONG time for the elevators at my university and I see people getting on/off that have NOTHING... Carrying a phone/ipod and that is it... And they aren't even overweight or have an excuse... Some are in peak condition and look very healthy...

Makes me angry because I am late all the time for classes because I am just sitting around waiting on elevators because I literally have no other means of getting upstairs...

The other thing about elevators that makes me mad is when people get on even when it isn't going to their floor... Like say I am in the lower level and I need to get to a far upper level and the elevator is already up there, it comes down and stops at the floor above because someone is getting off there, well even though there is an arrow that says it is still going down and people want to go up on it, they still get on and ride it down and when it gets to my floor it is full and I have to wait for all those people to go up and get off and then for it to come back down...

Pisses me off... I had to sit in the lobby of one building for 15 minutes one day because everytime the elevator got to my floor it was already full of people who just jumped on when it came past their floor...

Who cares? If I stand, I stay to the right so I am not in others way.. I do not see the problem with that. In fact, I never see people walking on them anyways. Why be in a rush?

The stairs are the fastest way, because people hardly stand on them.

I voted fo rthe last one, because thats the closest to I am one of those people :P

The ones that go from one level to another, I have no problem with standing still on, and I usually do. Now the ones in the airports (whatever they are called), where its just on a level area and meant to aid in getting somewhere quicker, those ones I would get annoyed if people were standing still.

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

on the ones i have seen there is a sign at the bottom telling you to stand still on them :)

its only annoying if im in a hurry or in a bad mood

As long as people stand off to one side, I don't see the issue.

In Australia, particularly Melbourne, most of the city train stations have escalators as a form of getting from the platforms to the station and streets above. The etiquette for walking up or down the escalator is for people wishing to stand to stay to the left, and those wanting to walk move up or down the right. 99% of people follow this unwritten rule, because a hell of a lot of people would miss their train if they didn't.
