When I was a kid, my Mom would take me to the big old department store downtown, and I used to love riding the escalators. The escalators there had wood stairs, and they used to click, clack, and creak. The wood slats on each step were maybe half an inch apart, and I always wondered if ladies got their high heels stuck and got pulled under. Some of those escalators were very narrow - just wide enough for one person. Yep, those old escalators had a lot more personality than these slick metal ones. I'd hate to think that all my current experiences will someday become stories with no point.

You aren't the only one. Every time I went downtown I always made it a point to visit the only department store that had an escalator. Was a treat back in those days. Like going to the circus for the rides only this one was free. And I did see a woman get her heel caught in one too. That would only be another cause for sueing them today.

I sure remember the type you speak about. Many yrs ago my Mom took me to Macys in NYCity. I was about 4 yrs old and somehow I got ahead of her on a down escalator. She tried to grab at my hand , tumbling down most of the way, shredding her hose and her legs as well. We went to see the nurse at Macy's - yes they actually had a an in house nurse ! I am very wary of escalators since. Thanks for the memories !

I do like escalators, but not th epeople on them. It's alright on thetube in London where I can overtake people.. But in Holland it is custome to race off the train platforms, and then stand dead still on the escalator. It does not make sense to me.

Yes I love escalators. My story is more perverse. I just like to stand underneath them and look up chicks skirts. It's a fantastic little hobby of mine...

I'm always afraid I'm going to trip on escalators. I have to concentrate really hard to make that first step!

I'm a bit afraid of escalators... I get a little dizzy when I'm on them and I feel the need to move! :-)

I like escalators. I'm just scared that when I step on I'm going to miss the step and land on my butt.
