People that don't walk up escalators piss me off.

Hey asshole...what you are doing is just standing there. Blocking my path. Should have taken the stairs but no...I was stupid enough to hop on the escalator and end up staring at your obese ass for 30 seconds.
Merry Christmas.

Yeah. I don't walk up escalators because my knees are bad. If I wanted to climb stairs I would have taken the stairs.

Do you mind...I'm having a moment.
If I wanted ti hear from the "Oh my bad knees!! Oh My back problems!!" brigade I would have started a thread about friends who ask for help moving stuff and then sit on their ass while you do all the heavy lifting.

Happy Holidays

You should get back at them by pacing or jumping up and down when you catch them in an elevator.

not just that but the sliding walkways in airports... those are not there for your fat ass to stand there and be lazy, they're there so people who are in a hurry can get from point a to point b faster.

You actually can walk beside one faster if the person on the moving sidewalk is standing still.

That shit pisses me off to.

I'm just saying that if you were to see me on the escalator not climbing the stairs you would just assume I'm lazy since I'm a pretty big and reasonably healthy looking guy. Sometimes people have reasons for the way they act. Plus, I always stand to the right so people who really feel the need to climb the escalator can pass me. But if you want to get exercise out of it then don't cheat and ride the escalator. Same with moving walkways. I stop on them because it's more comfortable for me than walking a half a fuckin mile to get to my flight. If I can stand still and get to my destination then I'm going to do it, at least until you knees are good enough for me to deal with it.

I walk up *most* escalators. But in London some of the underground escalators are several stories tall/long. It's bloody tiring.
