Some escalators seem frustratingly slow.
Walking up or down does provide a little exercise (which is always a good idea).
Getting past a group of other people can sometimes be useful.
Often, the hand-rail moves at a different rate from the steps (and many of the people will fall over because they are too stupid to let go).
So you walk up the escalator because you are impatient and because in your impatience people get in your way, and it's their fault?
And there was me thinking a healthy body lead to a healthy mind. Perhaps rather than get escalator-rage you should take it easy and chill by just standing still, or walk slowly up the stairs instead. Far healthier.
it is pretty standard that you 'keep to the left'.
lots of places have signs stating this, but not all. they should print it on the steps themselves, as well as have signs. I hate it when I am in a rush and there is a group of people having a chat blocking the way, or people are standing in a zigzag formation, and who then stop dead at the top or bottom, and stand there looking around them vacantly unaware of the people bunching up behind them
Couple of things:
1. In London it seems to be accepted that you stand to the left. But seemingly not in the North. When visiting London with a friend who'd never used the tube before I had to explain it to him.
2. I can't really walk up the escalator as I don't have full use of my knee. I can do stairs, but pretty slowly which makes it pointless to walk up the escalator - may as well let it take the strain, as others have suggested. Because i'm not obviously disabled to look at or elderly, people will stand behind me on them and huff and puff trying to hint at me to start walking so they can walk too. I say to everyone, have a little patience - there may be a very good reason why someone isn't walking up.
