I know we’ve all been in this situation before. You’re on an escalator going down and there are 5-10 escalator steps between you and the person below you. What do you do? That’s right, you walk down to fill in the gap? Why? You are already going in the direction you want. You don’t even have to move (which is what we Americans want, right?).
And it’s not even like this is universal for escalators. You don’t do it when you’re going up on an escalator. I think that has to do with the fact that you don’t want to have your face ( specifically your nose) close to their butt in case, you know, they fart. That would seriously suck!
Weird behaviors…
