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.

I block escalators so walkers get pissed off.

It's alright, you live in Ohio and therefore aren't expected to have a sense of decorum. :hug:

Now that I think about it, I don't think there's a single escalator in the whole of the Yukon Territory. :huh:

I take all 4 actions at various times.

If I am on an escalator and I hear "train to xxxx is about to arrive", I run like hell.  Which is like 80% of the time, because the train comes every 2 minutes.

Why would you run then?

I tend to walk at a leisurely pace on escalators, either up or down.  Just standing there feels weird, like you're handicapped in some way.

There is no such thing as a next train in my books.  Or next bus, next lift, next anything.  Do, or die.

Walk. and if you're not walking stand to the damn right.

Really? Is that really the motto for your life?

Do or die is the motto of the lazy Chinaman.  Industrious ones just do, dying is not an option.
