Someone who stands on an escalator or moving sidewalk. Standards tend to be lazy, or perhaps older individuals.
Standers obstruct the movements of people who have places to go and stuff to do. Standards are particularly annoying when standing in the middle of escalators/moving sidewalks, such that walkers cannot easily pass and move on with their lives.

An arm-swinger is someone who swings their arms widely while they walk. People who swing their arms widely while they walk are generally over-weight, and tend to walk slowly. It is likely that a wide arm-swing is needed to counter-balance their large body mass while walking.
Arm-swingers are most notable when they walk in the middle of a busy sidewalk or corridor, thus inhibiting the ability of faster, non-arm swinging pedestrians to pass them. This can lead to great frustration and general deriding of fat people when one is in a hurry.

I would have just made my train today, but I got stuck behind a fucking arm-swinger when I was walking to the station.
