I just have a few requests here, all escalator related. I can't believe I had to put this in writing, but when you get off an escalator, have the decency to get out of the way. See, just because you're done with it, doesn't mean that there aren't 100 people piling up behind you. Clear a path for the rest of us and then stand there and look stupid. It can be a win/win.
In that same vein, yes the escalator will "carry" your luggage for you, but when the ride's over you still have to get it out of the way. I am tired of people who stand there and wait for their bag to get dumped onto the little metal ramp. Really, you can start pulling it before it stands still and becomes just another obstacle. I'm prepared to step on your bags if you want to act like you've never seen it before.
To go along with that, just because it has a handle and wheels doesn't mean you have to pull it. If it weighs less than the average purse, carry it. Normally the wheels are worthless and if it's that light you're much more likely to have no control over it and run over my toes or ding my shins.
Which brings me to my final point (see how they're all linked together?), if you can walk up an escalator, do so. Few things make my day like running a few minutes late and watching the train pull away because I'm behind some lady who can't walk AND carry what appears to be an empty briefcase on wheels. If you really think that the escalator ride is something included in your airfare and is something you really want to savor, than keep to one side so those of us who actually want to go somewhere can do so.
