escalator etiquette

Rules of courtesy for using an escalator, particularly in Japan. Essentially, if you are not going to continue walking while on the escalator, stick to one side (in Japan, the left side) so that walkers have room to pass.
"If you're going to treat the escalator like a theme park ride, at least have the decency to observe escalator etiquette."
