If it moves do you stop?

    I stop. Sometimes I move but don't count on it. Oh, you're behind me and you were planning to move? Too bad, so sad. I guess you should have woken up 5 mins earlier and beat me here. I'm on time so I'm chillin.

    Pre-competition... about 4 weeks out... I do everything and anything to make sure I expend no extra energy. I'm just too weak.

    As a coworker says "Burn calories, not electricity!"

    I don't climb the escalator, but I always walk on moving sidewalks and jump off at the end (otherwise I feel like I'm going to fall).

    If I have a bunch of bags and stuff (like at an airport) I will stop because it's difficult sometimes to lift my bags and try to walk past others. But any other time, I keep walking. But, don't worry.... even when I stop I move myself and all my junk out of the way of others.

    Depends. When I went to Universal last week I walked them all on the way TO the park, but after being at the park all day I was exhausted and just rode them part of the way back to rest.

    But even at that, I don't stop in-front of someone.

    I fell on a moving sidewalk thing at the airport when I was little and now even 25 years later I am terrified. I do ride them. My kids make fun of me because I stand stock still clinging to the rail all the way up. My 3 year old thinks I am hilarious. Of course the fact that I can barely walk across a flat, non-moving surface without falling on my face does not help matters. I also loathe elevators, but that is more a claustrophobia thing and again I ride in them, but only when I MUST.

    I move with them unless I have my kids with me. It is not safe to have little ones walking up or down on an escalator.

    I get vertigo so if it is going downward, yes I stop and hold onto the rail to one side.

    I'm usually too amused with the fact that the floor is moving me to walk with it. There are just so many things I can do while the floor moves like pretend to be canoeing to *actually* walk with it. :laugh:

    I also have a tendency to fall a lot on non-moving floors/stairs, so why would I subject myself to an even worse injury by trying to move on something moving?
