DC people absolutely love to show how busy and important they are by taking the metro escalators as fast as possible. I try to make sure I’m in their way.

Oh I definitely feel it with irrational strength. Mainly because I encounter an escalator roughly four to six times a day, and I’m lucky if, even once per day, the person in front of me is a walker

if i've taught my kids one thing that i hope they pass on to their kids, it's that if you have the opportunity, always take the stairs over the elevator/escalator.

Guys, escalators are designed for standing still. Please look into this. If you want exercise, take the stairs.

I'm kind of the opposite. I tell my kids to use them at every oportunity. Living here in NZ - riding the escalator is the closest they're getting to an amusement park ride!
