Pretty much all I've ever wanted to do is walk down an up escalator (and vice versa) at just the right pace that I don't move. Then run a bit faster, slow down a bit, etc. All my earthly ambitions boil down to this.


Now that you mention it, escalators don't thrill me anymore, but walking quickly with those long moving sidewalks at the airport is still stupid fun at 41.


24 years old, and I'll still do this every now and then when an escalator is uncrowded enough.


Travelators (is that what they are called?) in airports always get me going. Walking the wrong way on themmoon strangely fun. Moon walking for the guy who can't dance.


I wanted to do this, so I found an escalator with nobody else on it, and played around. It was great. Reach out and seize your dreams!


Do it! What's stopping you?


Security. And, shame.
