Stairs, unless I'm carrying a whole lot of crap

Stairs, unless my knees are giving me trouble.

Up or down?

Stairs, unless: a) I'm carrying a pile o' shite or b) I'm hungover I'm a bit like Sherwin in that I really don't like elevators, but not to the same extent. I used to have lec…

I use the stairs. Escalators move too slow and I am impatient.

At home: elevators, i live on the 16th floor. At work, stairs all the time (4th floor) unless i have to change the gas tanks or carry a crap load of solvent canisters/bottles, it…

4 floors is usually my limit unless I know the elvators are really slow.

I pretty much always take the stairs but military dorms usually do not have anything else but stairs. 4 is the magic number of floors that the military can have and do not have to …

Stairs for anything < 5. As far as escalators go, people really should stand on the right, and leave the left side clear for people who are actually walking up/down the escalat…
