I have even seen people in the mall on the way to the health club where they are about to get on a treadmill for half an hour, get on the escalator and just stand there. Also if people on an escalator must stand, why can't they all stand on the right side, so that I don't have to fight my way past them?

Hey, I know what an escalator is for. What I want to know is why do I like to keep moving, and other people like to stop and block my way? and I have some related questions, like why do people get off the escalator and just stand there so that I have to crash into them or say excuse me to get around them? why do they try to get in the subway car or the bus when other people are trying to get out? why do people stand in front of doorways? why do people take so long to spoon food on their plates on the buffet lines?

What do people think about when they are standing in line for five minutes at the movie candy counter or the fast food restaurant, so that when they get to the front of the line they need to take another few minutes to decide what they are going to order?

They put too much stock in the modern world and many are just too lazy. I agree, I walk the escalators as well and hate when people just stand in the way and don't "get the hint". I do have patience with the elderly...most tire easily and lets face it, most of them have earned the right to slow down a little....

not only are you annoying but your just about crazy too, the escalator isnt an exercise machine for you to run up at thats just like saying why do people walk up stairs instead of run, id like for you to try get passed me on the escalator lol ud be hurt and thrown down at some point. TAKE THE STAIRS IF YOUR IN SUCH A RUSH- EVERYWHERE THAT HAS ESCALATORS HAS STEPS/STAIRS

hmmmmmmm . .
where i live there is an unwritten escalator rule:
right side is for standing
left side is for walking
Anyone who is on the wrong side, usually get 2 or 3 people telling them how to "escalade" LOL.
But seriously, I think sum ppl figure why walk when this machine will do it for you!?!?
It does make sense, it is like an elevator , it does the walking for u.
But I do know what you mean!!

What are you in such a hurry for? People stand on an escalator, because that's what the escalator is for. Otherwise, what is it good for? Did it ever occur to you that people could be tired?
Adding to your additional comments: WELCOME TO LIFE!!
The world simply doesn't revolve around you!!

hmm you sound like a very impatient person maybe you should try just riding the escalator like everyone else. You might enjoy it :)

People stop because they're stairs. They're too lazy. You don't really have that problem with the electric walk ways...people still move on those.
