As with driving, formal dining and intergalactic warfare, a universally observed code of etiquette governs the common use of escalators. This is comprised of three general principles:
(1) Those wishing to stand must keep to the left, thus leaving the right lane free for people who are running late for a meeting they don't know is cancelled, which will teach them to let the battery on their mobile run down because we left, like, three messages on your voicemail last night.
(2) Whenever possible, a two-step exclusion zone applies between fellow commuters. This allows both a comfortable amount of personal space and also affords the best possible viewing position in the event of the person in front being in possession of an aesthetically pleasing bottom. (Note to self: do a column on bottoms.)
(3) There must, under no circumstances, be any dawdling at either end of the escalator.
