    I think it's ridiculously hilarious that people get mad at folks who stand on moving sidewalks if there is a walkway next to it. Go dumb.



    of course not
    moving sidewalks & mechanical stairs
    (the ones built wide enough for 2 people + located in heavy traffic areas)
    almost always have signs/instructions to "please" stand to the right
    lazy people ignore these

    What's with fat people driving carts around anyways?


    it's really bad when you see them with a bag of snacks in their lap

    Supermarket classic right there. I always feel like throwing tuna cans at them and then run.

    How do these people push shopping carts? Or do they just cruise around and eat treats right off the shelf?

    But that's not really big enough to hold a lot of groceries is it? Especially the amount of food these people consume.

    No, I'm argentinian

    In spanish: "escaleras mecanicas" = "mechanical stairs".

    the difference in walking or running up and riding up would have probably been about 10 - 15 seconds at the most

    Yes, but if there is a train about to leave the platform those extra 10 seconds could save you 10 mins.

    This is why the Toronto subways have signs on the escalator that say "walk left, stand right".

    Of all the things that are argued on here that are totally pointless, this one might take the cake.

    C'mon. If you don't want to walk, that's fine. But, that doesn't mean you get to impose that on people who don't agree with you. That is the epitome of

    It's the same in Cantonese: cheung d??p.

    yeah, it's the "excuse me" thing that drives me mad.

    The left side of escalators are for walking, the right side for standing. Recognize!

    I got a big kick out of my friend's story about going to bars in Japan where the people patiently queue up to order their drinks.

    I'm not trying to impose shit on anybody. I'm calmly standing still on a electro-mechanical device designed to elevate people. If you refuse to get elevated or feel the need to demonstrate your active lifestyle by walking for 5 secs on an escalator, that is your fucking problem, not mine.

    NAGL.

    Some people are in a hurry (who cares why), so just move to the side. Is it really that hard guy?

    Stop whining.

    Shut up, Pony. I won't move, you are not an ambulance.

    Here in NYC everyone is in a hurry or at least needs to be somewhere soon. We understand that in other parts of the world, you just want to take it easy, feel the vibe, smell the roses, take in the sights... but we kindly ask that you not block the entire width of the sidewalk while doing so.

    When did I ever say that I run up escalators? Letting people pass is just the right thing to do.

    If you had to pee REALLY bad would you run up an escalator? You would so just shush!

    As a kid I saw an old granny fall over while on the ahem 'mechanical stairs' and get her hair caught in them, I'll never forget her scream as she got closer to the top, till my dad bashed the stop button, and ran up and help her. They had to cut her hair to get her free though.

    Standing on the left is the definition of 'having no conception of the fact there are other people in the world' that or tourist. This is usually compounded on the tube by tourists not knowing how to put their ticket in the machine to open the barriers....HOW HARD CAN IT BE....

    Oh really? Excuse me, I didn't see the lanes painted on the steps. Oh wait, that's because this isn't a fucking highway.

    Did you see 99% of all the other people standing to the right though? Wouldn't this have given you some kind of clue? Why all the aggression, this is not that serious a thread.

    Well, this happen to be my fuckin thread so I can make it as aggresive as I want. I'm a very aggresive individual. I don't care what 99% of the people does, millions of flies like to eat shit, does that mean shit is tasty? I don't think so.
