How do you use escalators?

I stand still on them like a fucking mook.
17 (28.3%)
They may be moving, but they are still stairs. Keep walking.
31 (51.7%)
I'm pretentious, and prefer to use the real stairs next to them.
5 (8.3%)
I prefer to use the handicap-accessible elevator, like every black woman.
0 (0%)
Depends on my mood, because I'm garbon.

Generally people who run up escalators need to be stopped.
The entire point of them is you don't have to do any work.
But I do of course do different things at different times too. Running up ones going the opposite way to you is fun.

When going up, I'll stand still most of the time, when going down I'll generally walk. For the purposes of the poll, I voted that I stand still like a mook I never use the elevator, unless I'm hauling lots of luggage. I've only used the normal stairs with escalators available if those are severely crowded.

Stand still unless I'm running to catch a train.  But at least I'll do it on the right hand side.

None of the options fit me.  I like to play on them.  Sometimes I just use my hands on the rail to push myself up, and go up or down with my feet swinging in the air, other times I'll swing my feet out an rest them on the rails too, or find some other way to goof around.  Basically, I view them as amusement part rides.

Poll edited, just for you, Sunshine.

Thanks. FYI, when I went to go to the movies yesterday, I chose to walk up an escalator, stand on an escalator, take an elevator and take the stairs. :hug:

I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

You are my antithesis.  :mad:

Jet: I see.

Stairs.  I'm not feeble, and I can climb stairs (that are generally empty) faster than the elevator can move.

I block escalators so walkers get pissed off.

Really, I thought it was the metal halo on your leg that did that.
