Oh, also on escalators. When you're going up an escalator and there are people in front of you, and you want to walk up rather than just stand there and let it carry you up, but you can't because they're standing there. They should stay to one side so that people can walk by. I know that this is kind of an unwritten rule on the DC metro (where the escalators are literally HUNDREDS of feet long), but it should apply everywhere.

It may be an unwritten rule, but no one informs the tourists and weekends can be a huge pain in the ass as a result. I was out yesterday and had to deal with this at least 5 times. There was an Amish convention or something in town and people in funny hats were absolutely everywhere.

I over reacted the last time as I heard the train pulling in.

"God damn it Ephraim! MOVE!"
