People who block really long escalators instead of walking up/down them.

You go to Georgetown, right? I think that "stand right, walk left" is a DC Metro area thing, specifically referring to escalators. I'm not a world traveler or anything like that, but DC is the only place I've been where people walk up the escalators. I've gotten a lot of strange looks from people as I try to pass them on my way up in other cities.

Hmm, never realized that - DC is the only city I've lived in for a prolonged period (I go to GWU).

Mine is also DC-specific, but can be applied elsewhere: people who are waiting to get onto a Metro train and crowd around the doors, then back off when the doors open, suddenly realizing that the people crowded around the door inside the car actually wanted to get out.
