    I hate the concept of escalator etiquette because there’s the smallest amount of space and people feel the need to carve it up for those who can’t be patient or use the wide stairs. there’s no reason someone can’t use stairs if they are in a hurry.

      The reason to use the escalators when you’re in a hurry is because it’s twice as fast if you walk up them.

      If you want to take the escalators to be lazy, that’s fine…stay to the right and out of my way. Same rules as the highway. Not complicated.

      How fucking entitled are you that you “hate the concept of escalator etiquette” and you think it’s acceptable to not let people pass you? Were you a bollard in a former life?

        maybe the concept of being in a hurry is alien to me as I am not tardy or impatient, or accept that I will be late and just not act like a baboon rushing towards a potential lunch.

            shame of you to pull the “I have kids!” card just so you can shove people aside in public for your tardiness. It would seem one can act like a complete ape with no sense of time in public and be excused because “Oh I have kids, you wouldn’t understand!”.

            guess what? Everybody has kids or have had kids! If to u really care about them take the damn stairs? I don’t think you would have “fat lazy” people blocking your way?

              Pardon my French, but I think this exchange needs a couple verses:

              "Je me balade -même si j’ai tort- avec nonchalance

              ton étiquette d’escalator, je m’en balance!"

              Is it really so much effort for you to stand on the right side instead of the left? Why can’t we just be nice to eachother

                I wouldn’t block someone on an escalator. But, in any debate about the topic, I would vehemently oppose any argument that allows people to run through a narrow escalator full of old people or people with disabilities when a wide flight of stairs is right next to it.
