On most escalators there is room for two people besides eachother, but usually two people go stand besides eachother in stead of in front one another so that they block other peoples passage. This is especially annoying on long escalators.
People, please mind escalator etiquette. If you want to stand, stand on the right so people who want to walk can pass you on the left!

Just speak up. (go.... *clear throat* , Excuse me !)
Instead of getting pissed ,an having your joy taken a away, and raising your blood pressure an heart beats and thus shortening your life.
Instead of feeling resentfulness.
Instead of having to ask this question here.
Instead of maybe even getting revengeful !

Why are you in such a rush? Escalators are not meant for walking on, you are supposed to stand and let the escalator do the walking for you. If you want to go faster take the elevator, or how about a new concept...the stairs???
Think about someone besides yourself for a change.
Have a nice day!!

Ha! I love getting off of the Metro in the mornings and having the tourists ignore the fact that you stand to the right and walk on the left. Nevermind there are signs that say this. Maybe people can't understand that some Americans like to walk up the steps so we don't become overweight and get health problems.
I really love when they ignore you when you say 'excuse me'.

The escalators are there to CARRY you up or down. Pushing your way past people is totally rude. Not to mention dangerous. If you want to walk, you should be using the stairs.

Sorry, they left that chapter out of my etiquette book. I thought it was rude for people to brush past others on escalators, rather than wait their turn like everybody else.

The amount of time my life is spent on an escalator doesn't seem to be that significant to notice. Now if I spent an hour every day on one, it might matter.

I suppose it wouldn't hurt to say "Excuse me, I need to pass" if you are in a hurry. People tend to walk mindlessly so often they don't even know they block your way. Just ask politely, you never know.
Escalators however are often blocked due to congestion. Try taking the stairs, they are *blissfully* empty, not to mention good for you!

Escalator's were made to stand on ... not to walk on. If you wanna walk, take the stairs.
