escalator overachiever

Someone who feels they must treat an escalator as a staircase, bringing guilt to the rest of the parties on the escalator, unless they also do so.
Jane: "Why is that girl bounding up the escalator like it's a flight of stairs? She's making the rest of us look lazy for just standing here riding it!"
Jill: "She's a total escalator overachiever."

Escalator Hesitator

Someone who pauses prior to stepping on an escalator due to irrational fear of stepping on the cracks…
This usually happens in rush hour, and often results in the person behind falling over themselves or over the culprit as a result of the impromptu hesitation.

Escalator Express Lane

Typically the left side of an escalator dedicated to speedy individuals who don't have the time or patience to let the escalator take them where they need to go, therefore, they angrily speed-hop (sometimes taking double steps) up or down the moving staircase and pass everyone on the right side, leaving them with the following possible impressions:

"I'm more important than you; shove it"
"I'm wearing a suit and have places to be"
"Oh shit I'm late I'm late I'm late"
"I have to catch a bus, get out of my way or I'll trip you"

You can use this method to your advantage, but if you fall on your ass and go tumbling down the moving stairs, you're on your own.
Stacy totally just fell down the escalator express lane! She was moving too fast for her own good.

What!? Is she okay?

She'll be fine. She was on her ass but fortunately still moving upwards.
