Does she think this way at the bottom of an escalator? Stupidity
Escalators are still stairs, and drives me mad when people simply stand still on them. So do they expect the same shit when they get home and stand at the bottom of their stairwell?
Stand right, walk left is the pinnacle of civil society when it comes to escalators.
It also causes increased wear due to most of the weight being unbalanced on one side.
Then they should redesign them appropriately.
Escalators are moving stairs that can suck you into the gears underneath and turn you into ground meat if you get caught in the teeth at the end of them. Doesn't surprise me that people are hesitant to walk on them as you're much more likely to trip and fall walking on stairs vs standing. Better to let them safely carry you up or down, then safely step off at the end.
I'll be honest if standing still at the bottom of my stairs at home eventually took me to the top I'd do it.
Escalators are a form of elevator and not stairs. They were put there because stairs would be to long or too steep for stairs and a traditional elevator has less capacity. I also believe that the general recommendation is that you don't walk in elevators because it creates a significant amount of risk of accidents while saving an insignificant amount of time.
Thank you for your great reply, but without providing sources to your claims, I'm going to assume you're simply talking out of your ass and spreading misinformation.

This article makes it clear that standing on both sides of the escalator increases general flow of people though the escalator and when they ask the company managing the new york escalators they say that it is their recommendation that people stand on the escalator because that is safer.
In conclusion, standing on elevators is both faster and safer.
Is there anything else you want to know, you smug cunt?
No, because, unlike yourself apparently, they have the capacity for reason.
It's unreasonable to walk up or down some fucking stairs?
It's unreasonable to think that people who stand on escalators also stand on stairs and wait for them to move. Not only do you not understand my comment, you don't even understand your own. Good luck out there!
She could be completely depressed and just takes life like it is. Shitty all the way down.
How dare you tell me how to have fun!
I'm not surprised you're downvoted because 90% of people stand lazily on escalators from my experience. But you and I know better.
If walking up a flight of stairs is too difficult that you have to let the motors do all the work then maybe you should think about getting more exercise
Some people say 'stand right, walk left' but that doesn't work in america because people are not only too dense but also too fat for that to work. So if you stand still, you're in the way
I know I'm being condescending but idc so downvote me all you want.
Where are you in America that people are so fat that you can't get past them on an escalator? Because I'm in Indiana, home of the giant deep-fried pork tenderloin, and people aren't that fat here.
not all disabilities are visible
dont moralize your shit. you wanna walk fine. dont go writing a fucking bible about it lol
