In some places in Japan they have weird little thin escalators and if you walk on them a sensor beeps to try and make you stop and I think if you walk too much on them the whole escalator just stops.

oh i forgot. when i go up stairs i usually go up two at a time and once i did this on an escalator and totally tripped over in front of everyone. but no one was looking and no one laughed probably because they were embarassed for me and also becuase they were too busy running away like indiana jones editL i now take dainty little steps one at a time

Mandator posted:i'm not trying to defend the south or obesity, but has anyone been late because they had to wait an extra 20 seconds to get up an escalator? Same thing can be said about cars and pedestrians. They'll get there faster than the person walking, but god drat are they upset about it.

Have you ever tried to go up an escalator in a klan robe? The Imperial Wizard has cut the budget for robe repairs so it's best just to stand still until you get off the escalator.

even if you walk up an escalator its slower than running up normal stairs and somehow feels less safe. escalators suck

The only place I really see escalators is in an airport and there they always have plain old stairs next to them so if I'm in a hurry I just use the stairs. Moving pathways are funny because when you're walking at a brisk pace you pass all the fatties standing still on them, it'd be nice if you could use it to go faster like they intended but such is life.

The worst offense is blocking the path on the motorized walkways at the airport. I am pretty sure those are made so people can get from one place to the other quicker and not for your fat rear end to rest on after spending hours sitting on a plane. No one could possibly be in a hurry at an airport!

Sometimes you just want to stand there and go up and think "Huh, these stairs are moving!" and sometimes you want to get there faster than either normal stairs or standing-still moving stairs and either way is okay.

Mandator posted:i'll walk if the path is clear, but i don't start seething with rage when somebody is standing still It's built like a staircase so walking makes sense. If you want to stand move to the right. (or left I would assume in Europe) Not a big deal. Garth_Marenghi fucked around with this message at 17:46 on Oct 6, 2015 |

the best part of moving walkways is when you are walking at the end of the conveyor and you feel your body decelerate once you step on the floor it's a funny feeling and it last for a split second but i always appreciate it
