I judge
People who need to stop, look down, and wait a beat or two before getting on an escalator. I get it when kids do it, though.
That's all.
Re: I judge
I totally do this. Though I try not to when there are people behind me. I have a weird balance issue when I get on an escalator or an elevator - or sometimes just wandering around in general. Back in the day I definitely fell down a lot more than the average gal.
Ditto this. Only really on the down escalators, but I definitely fall down a lot more than the usual girl. The first two or three months we lived in our current house, I fell down the steps at least once a week.
I totally do this, but if it makes it any better, I walk up the stairs I would have missed if I wasn't hesitating.
Sorry all! The woman I was judging caused a backup of 4 people and seriously took 2 or 3 false start steps. Most people hesitate for a second and adjust their step--hers was like the little kid who stands there with both feet together and tries extending her foot a few times.
I was in a hurry, too, and she made me miss the Glenmont train so I had to wait even longer.
Ha, I totally do it too, but not that bad. I saw a kid get their shoelace stuck and then their shoe got ripped off, narrowly avoiding the same fate for their foot probably. Ever since then I'm hesitant for sure!

One of my most vivid memories from being a very young child is standing next to the escalator and being scared to get on because it kept coming and coming and coming. My mom was like "come on, just step on it". Then I stepped and fell.
But, I'm happy to say that I'm over the traumatic experience and I think I'm relatively good at the transition of getting on and off smoothly.
