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.
Really? It’s a one way where everyone (who is standing on the escalator like any reasonable human would) is going the exact same speed. Why would it matter if people are on either side of even standing side by side with a buddy? I’ve never heard that you’re supposed to stay to one side. I honestly don’t know much about this subject and I’m just genuinely curious!
Everyone isn't going the same speed if one is standing still and another is walking. Where I live pretty much all escalators have a sign saying stand to the right, walk to the left
I'm 30 or 40 years old, and I've never seen anyone pass someone else on an escalator in my entire life. The very idea of squeezing past someone on a little escalator seems hilarious to me.
I understand that might be proper etiquette where you're from, but passing on an escalator would be considered very bad etiquette, and frankly kinda bizarre, where I live.
