    Going up, two at a time mostly. Going down, I'll skip the last one to three. Sometimes jump the last four or five, but not as often as I used to.

    I generally take stairs on two at a time, except on the escalators on the tube since they're about twice the size of a normal step anyway.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    I go up in groups of 2 or 3. Whilst going down I try to take one at a time, or two and hold onto the handrail, it just seems more sensible

    I can skip steps going up or down

    I always run up stairs, and apparently I look like a goon when I do because people laugh. Going down stairs I take them 2 at a time. Either that or grappling hooks and pitons.

    I dunno how any of you people can take even two at a time! How are your legs long enough for that?!

    I can only do one at a time, that's all my legs can reach.

    I usually take two at a time going up. Taking one at a time is boring and it makes me feel slow. When coming down I take two less often (tripped, fallen one too many times ) but I always always jump the last step or three; no use for them.
    This subliminal message could be meant for YOU. But it's probably not. Move along ;D

    I skip one when heading up the stairs, but I usaully hit every step while going down, jumping sometimes from the fourth step. If I'm in a rush, I'll jump up and down stairs three at a time.

    I skip every other step, only when I'm going up stairs. When I'm going down, it feels to awkward for me to skip steps, so I just take one at a time. I dunno, skipping steps when you're going up is faster, and sometimes sort of funner. xD
    wheee!

    I usually run up and down stairs, two steps at a time. I've found that placing my feet sideways makes it easier to run down stairs. It gives me more stability and precision.

    Skipping steps on stairs is also known as taking the elevator.
