There's an unwritten rule that if you're standing on the escalator, you stay to the right. So that people moving can pass you on the left.
As someone who takes the train to/from work every day, people who break this rule drive me crazy. Huge pet peeve of mine.

I guess I wasn't thinking about massive escalators in transit stations. We have a few here at work, but the main ones going up and down to a 2nd level food court are skinny. You're not passing anyone on them. Pretty much a single file line. That's what bothers me when people don't keep walking. There is no option to pass so they are literally holding up everyone behind them. I think it takes me about 10-12 steps walking up them before I'm at the top, but you always get some fatty that wants to lean on the rail and catch their breath before going upstairs to eat their mountain of food at lunch that holds up 10 people behind them. If it isn't peak hours, by all means stand there. But between 11-1, walk your fat arse a few more steps. We all know you need it.

There's a written law that if you're driving you shouldn't be in the left lane unless you're passing so that people moving can pass you on the left.
Unfortunately this is violated even more often than the unwritten escalator rule.
