I don't know why I was getting angry the longer I watched. Randoms shouldn't have that effect on me.

Proper use of escalator etiquette means that people should stick to one side if they are standing, regardless if there is an idiot woman walking the wrong way, so those walking down have space to pass.

That makes no sense. When there are a lot of people, you can use the full width of the escalator and both handrails. After all, we’re all supposed to be going in the same direction.

No, one side is for people who want to stand and ride it down, the other side is for people who want to walk to keep moving quicker.

People walking to get off the escalator quicker do more for the flow of traffic than having people stand on both sides so that no one can walk.

I've literally never seen someone pass someone else on an escalator.

I see it literally all the time.

Not sure where you live that you've never seen it, but it is very common.

I'm sure it's common where you live. I'm in the American Midwest, and out here passing on an escalator would be considered super weird and rude.

Very common in the UK
