Some observations while in flight delay purgatory at Baltimore-Washington Airport: people standing on moving sidewalks. I get the standing on an escalator as climbing steps uses much more energy than just walking at a normal pace. I haven't quite figured out the standing on a moving sidewalk. Isn't the point to cover more ground more quickly?

Sometimes I like to be fricking lazy. At least I stand to the right to let others pass

Walking briskly on the moving sidewalks is an awesome sensation. Makes me feel like the Flash.

Correct. Not a big fan of the people that just stand there.

I was in Denver, now in Houston. I didn't have any issues getting around those people. What I can't stand is the people who bring on every carry on item allowed. Not for the space. They're just slow to load and unload. Frick that. I will gladly always pay the 25$ to check my bag and be hands free. Much better to only have pockets with stuff

You stand on the left, walk on the right.

The sidewalks move for a reason! It is so you don't have to walk to cover long distances. Using your logic, I should get on the back end of a train at an airport and walk toward the front of the train while it is moving trying to get to my destination faster.....

It's not a ride!

I like to run on them.
