Stairs

[Jiro]

There's some stairs at uni and every time I walk up and down them I wonder if I look like an idiot. I've taken to sitting at a table nearby and watching people walk up and down the stairs. It's a little bit creepy, but I'm curious. Do you do anything interesting in your ascent or descent of stairs?

I have a mega elongated step when I reach the top. It's ridiculous. I also walk down stairs slowly if I'm not in a hurry, like I'm the Big Bad entering the scene at a dramatic moment.

If this is a boring topic, then tell us a story about stairs. Everybody's fallen down/up them before!

lol I have a rule about staircases...run up them always! Also run down in public transportation hubs this can mean people literally get the nanoseconds of time to move or else die as I blow past them.

Sometimes coming down stairs I will leap as many as possible, even if I'm in my "cowboy" boots which means I have a hard time not sliding around at the bottom since they've got no tread.

I skip every other stair when going up them.

I jump on the last one when descending. I look frustrated when ascending.

I can never go down stairs quickly. Even when like running down them. I just. What. How is this possible. There is something wrong with me.

I skip every other step while going up, and tend to take my time going down.

I fell up the steps when I was a freshmen. In a stairway filled with seniors and extremely hot women.

Surely some upskirt potential?

Two at a time is my rule for going up. When I go down, I can't help but go quickly (unless I'm walking with people). I don't fly down them, but I get sort of a jogging pace going and I kind of 'skip' down one at a time.

Same deal with escalators. Though it's only one at a time going up because of the steeper step. I don't think I ever just stand on an escalator unless I'm using my phone or with other people.

perhaps lol

Me too. I think that it would look pretty awkward to other people if I was just standing. I usually play with my shoes, search pockets, check phone, check time, pretend there's dust on my jacket etc etc. Escalators are embarrassing.

I laugh at people who don't go on broken escalators.

Actually tell a lie, sometimes I will stay still on an escalator. This is generally because of one of a small number of reasons:

1) I am looking for my ticket/checking my phone
2) I am with friends who do not share my love of running escalators.
3) I am behind an extremely hot girl I wouldn't mind checking out some more
4) there is a lady with a pushchair or pram ahead of me on the escalator.

Seriously those 4 reasons are enough to stop me otherwise *dash* time. Though I have on occasion been glad of stopping behind someone with a pram/pushchair like recently at a local tube station a woman with a pram was searching for her ticket, the pram slipped and nearly pushed mother and baby down the stairs from about 10 - 20ft from the top and about 20 - 30ft from the bottom. I caught both the mother and her pram and helped them the rest of the way, I hate to think what would have happened had I not been behind her.

Also when nobody else in on them I go up the down escalator and down the up escalator.

[Timekeeper]

I dislike people who insist on standing on escalators. They're supposed to be stairs made faster!

Two at a time going up and three going down. It's fun going down stairs quickly!

I climb up stairs two at a time, unless I'm with people. No one around here shares my love for climbing stairs quickly.

At least I can find camaraderie with you people. <3
