Word. I'll stand. Don't like it? - Jim Jul 27, 11:25 20
- everyone is welcome to stand ... on the right. If you stand on the left you deserve to be shoved the rest of the way down. -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 11:27 1
  - same with slow drivers in the left lane. They should be shot -- nm - CQ Jul 27, 11:28
- Sure, but stand on the same side as the other standers. Don't make the walkers zigzag around you -- nm - Roger More Jul 27, 11:26 6
  - I don't remember where I heard it, but I believe it is etiquette to stand to the right -- nm - con_carne Jul 27, 11:28 3
    - Depends where you are. In Toronto it is weird because on the subway everyone stands to one side, but it's anything goes on other escalators -- nm - Roger More Jul 27, 11:30
    - maybe because it gets announced repeatedly in the metro. -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 11:29 1
      - (I was thinking of our Metro, too) -- nm - con_carne Jul 27, 11:30
  - What fun is THAT?? -- nm - Jim Jul 27, 11:27 1
    - It's less fun when one of the passive-aggressively steps on you (not that I do such things... on purpose... very often) -- nm - Roger More Jul 27, 11:29
- If I *can*, that's fine. -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 11:26 10
  - Well, I'm a big guy...but even I can be on one side with room to go around me. -- nm - Jim Jul 27, 11:27 9
    - And the couples who stand side by side? -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 11:28 8
      - You get to kick whichever one is on the left side. -- nm - Krusty Jul 27, 11:31
      - They're obviously deeply in love. And true love is something that we should all take a break to enjoy. -- nm - Jim Jul 27, 11:30
      - Take a moment to relax and enjoy life. No need to always be in a hurry. -- nm - TFox Jul 27, 11:29 2
        
        Ah "don't be in such a hurry", the Inconsiderate National Anthem. -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 11:30
        
        take a moment to move your fat ass to the right! -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 11:30
      - or people who wear backpacks and turn so the backpack is facing the left side. -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 11:29 2
        
        or carnies. *shakes fists* -- nm - Don Homer Jul 27, 11:29 1
        
        and the Dutch! -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 11:31
then why not take the elevator down one floor? -- nm - mafic Jul 27, 11:25 1
- hee. he's been petarded. -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 11:26
"Thank you science, for giving me a boost to my own speed up stairs!" -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 11:24
how about down? ever been to DC? know how long the escalators are? -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 11:24
