I see loads of people passing others on escalators.escalators are of great assistance where there are a lot of stairs so climbing them would be tiring but the escalator can still be walked up even when moving rather than just standing waiting to get the top with no one else on it.
As I say, I don't like them anyway, I was once on one and a woman behind me with shopping had one of her bags split and loose potatoes rolled down the escalator and as I moved to avoid them I slipped on them and went rolling to the end of the escalator.I guess it would have been funny if someone had a phone camera/video on when that happened.  |
The first time I saw people standing to one side on escalators was when I was in the tube stations in London..........I thought it was hilarious never seen anything like it before
