I think you'll step onto an escalator with the same foot you'd take your first step with when standing still.

Do you feel like an idiot when you take these mini steps to orient your walking pattern?

I was trying to trick my brain into stepping on with the left foot today but it wouldn't work and I ended up doing this weird mini shuffle back and forth.

hmm.. i don't do it consciously. i just can't remember using my left foot to step on an escalator first.

I find no matter how hard I try I can not make the first step onto an escalator with my left foot. (I am right handed so I assume right footed as well)

Anyone else experience this?

It never occurred to before, but I always step with my right foot first. I will have to try to consciously do it with my left foot next time.

Worse than this are the moving sidewalks at airports. Those really [censored] me up bad.

Having spent a good many months in Vegas...I realize people cannot walk on moving walkways for [censored]. Yes, quite a bit is tourist gapeing(?) at the pretty fountains/volcano/whatever. However, a large part is just do to the human inability to walk on moving walkways. It disorients them or something.

I am going to try again tomorrow but I doubt it will work.

Man solo traveling is great I get to think up all this crazy [censored].

I stand there for a second and time it, then jump on with both feet at once.

I always step on stairs with my left foot first. I attribute this to bowling since I slide on my left foot.

i've never thought about it before, but having done so now, i think it's very possible that i've never stepped onto an escalator left foot first. fascinating stuff.
