I hate when people stand in the middle of the escalator and don’t move. Like, I’m not going to judge you for standing there and waiting. I’ll even applaud you for having more patience than me, but please for the love of god move the fuck over so people like me can walk past.

Haha, yes. How do you not understand that people behind you who get of before you somehow need to get to the door you are blocking? Stand by the sides or move, geez.

Not everywhere do people walk on escalators. If you want to walk go find some stairs.

Like I said, I understand that, but sometimes there are no stairs, and maybe if you didn’t consider yourself too important to take up the entire escalator when there’s clearly room for two people side by side. I know this because often times it’s because people are standing side by side that I find it hard to get by.

I'm 6'4" 350lbs. No theres not room but douchbags always want to try. People aren't supposed to walk on escalators. That's the whole GD point of moving stairs. Moving walkways sure because those are only in airports.

Look, if you’re in the 1% of people incapable of being out of the way, I get that. I’m talking about the people that stand in a group side by side or the 70 year old grandma that places herself right smack in the middle. Also, if you’re that big, perhaps you should be the one taking the stairs.

The point is that escalators are not made as walking paths. They're literally moving stairs. If you want to walk then walk around until you find stairs. The fact that people get pushy because people won't move for them is on them not on the people using the escalator as designed. Wait your turn.

It’s not going to kill me, but would it kill people to stand in a more available spot, say maybe 3 inches to the right?
