Next time you try to do Seinfeld,

1. Be right.
2. Be funny.

Who the hell wants to be Seinfeld? One of the worst US imports we had here frankly.

But, next time you want to be an as.shole just go ahead and be yourself. That works just fine.

If I wanted to use my legs to go upstairs I'd use the stairs.

If putting one leg in front of the other to get someone as fast as walking takes you is not worth the effort then why not do all your shopping online and never leave the house?

If people wanted to walk up stairs they'd use the stairs. People like to use escalators because they can still move UP without having to do anything but step on and step off.

Did you really not consider this before creating this thread?

If you want to stand on the escalator, I don't really give a [censored]. However, I HATE it when people do this and don't stand to one side so others can get past them. People were usually pretty good about this in DC (except tourists,) but they really suck at it here in California.

BTW, this is the only rational reason for caring about others escalator riding habits imo.

People standing on escalators is OK. What's not OK is standing on the left half of the escalator. So, so annoying.

It really pisses me off. I mean, people run around shops like crazy, get to an escalator, then stand still when they stand on it. It's like they don't realise you actually get to the end faster if they use legs too.....

this is a rhetorical question, right?
