Mainly because I thought it was well known that you stay on one side so others can pass.

But maybe that's only a thing in like certain locations, or for those wider escalators

Maybe it is location. I have honestly never seen someone walking up a moving escalator.

This is also a pet peeve of mine. Although in all fairness a lot of people here are so fat they take up most of the escalator anyway :<

I get really nervous on escalators and scared of people walking up alongside me and knocking me down so I deliberately stand as widely and firmly as I can. They're horrible things. If stairs are available I will always use stairs.

Escalator walkers are the ones breaking the rules. There is no unwritten Stand side vs Walk side. Its an escalator...it moves you. If there is room go ahead and walk. if not take the stairs.

So you dont ask them to sit there? You just stand and be angry, and then come here to vent?

That's when you rudely ask to pass and then fart after passing them so the rest of their trip will be through your cloud.

To be perfectly honest, I never knew that staying to one side of an escalator to let faster people through was even a thing until I lived in Europe for a little while. I don't think I've EVER seen that in America.

in a big city, it's almost a mandatory unwritten rule to stand on the right and walk on the left, especially before/after work. people have places to be and shit to do, and with hundreds of people going up, you gotta fall in line with the system or be prepared to get some shit for it.

tbh it just sounds like a lot of people here don't fly a lot. Where most of this happens.

So I don't blame them for not knowing.

How would you get knocked down?
By someone pushing past me to get up the escalator. I'm pretty unsteady on my feet.

No, I ask them if I can sit. Why are you making such a bad assumption?

I've seen it but seriously you should not do it. It's actually dangerous*

*It's not really "dangerous" but it adds an unnecessary risk. Escalators are designed to be stood on until you're ready to step off. If you walk up it, you increase the risk that your clothing will get caught in it or you may cause the escalator to malfunction.
