    Stand on the right, walk on the left

    This is how escalators work and have always worked and to suggest otherwise will earn my impotent wrath.

    It happens all the time. I do it all the time. Like 95% of the time. And when I don't feel like doing it, I squish to the right as much as possible so other people can. I honestly feel like I should be legally entitled to elbow groups of people in the back of the head if they clog up the entire width of an escalator.

    we're talking about walking up a set of stairs in the direction they're already moving

    there is plenty of room on most escalators for someone to walk by you, oftentimes not even brushing against you

    The only time tourists bother me in the city is when they don't understand that if you are on an escalator in a transit station, you stand on the right and walk on the left. Don't stand 2x2x2 on the escalator.

    A few weeks ago I was heading to Nexus' place and got off at Jersey City. I was aghast at all the lazy people waiting on a line to go up the escalator. "Fuck those Lazy Turds", I thought, I'll take the stairs. I got up about five steps before I realized I made a big mistake.

    I'm kidding of course, Ludious. I wouldn't accost you or anyone else.

    But what are your escalators like? Most in New York are at least 2.5 people wide.

    do escalators have different widths? Because every one I've ever been on is big enough for me to stand comfortably. This isn't even a fat joke, I'm not talking girth I'm talking normal leg spread.

    Okay.

    "Walk left stand right" is gospel in commuter subways in North America.

    I'd never encountered it until I moved to SF. It's not a thing people do in malls, because malls aren't a place where somebody might be rushing to catch a train.
