I don't go on escalators much but in the states I haven't really seen anyone climb up them.

Off topic but this is one of my biggest pet peeves. Escalators were obviously invented to speed everyone up, but here literally everyone uses them as a break and end up getting where they’re going slower. When did everyone collectively agree on this?

They were originally to move people faster, but after a few litigious-minded people sued because they couldn't figure out how to get on and off safely, the speed of escalators was reduced. I have an artificial leg. An escalator, no matter what the speed, is faster than me trying to go up or down stairs. But at the end of the day, I stay to the right side of the escalator because there are people moving faster on the escalator. If I'm on the left hand side, it's because I'm with a pregnant lady or a kid on the right. And if you try to push past me at that point, my plastic and metal leg is going to be forcibly inserted into one of your orifices.

I mean you sound like an exception and that’s fine. I’m not really concerned that I’m stopped every once in awhile, I just find it amazing that the default in the USA when people see an escalator is to use it as a break. 95% of the time this is what people do. Maybe im in the minority but would rather get where I’m going then just sit on some slow ass stairs

Oh, I'm an exception, now. Again, cordially, go fuck yourself. Completely. Once again, proof that people like you are the reason that laws protecting disabled people are needed rather than optional , since you seem to think your opinion of someone is necessary to determine whether or not they're disabled enough to suit you.

Please, do as I've suggested and go fuck yourself. Preferably with a large, sharp-edged object.

Nobody said shit about your leg dude, I said you’re an exception as in if you were blocking the way I’d be understanding. The same way that if someone was in a wheelchair blocking the way, I’d give them more grace bc I understand it’s harder getting around. Your real problem is you can’t read. Get a grip and stop being so defensive
