I'm glad that you're in good physical shape, and can climb stairs and escalators without trouble. May you remain healthy all your life, and never have joint, respiratory, or other problems that would keep you from using stairs! Not everyone has these advantages.

If you didn't like the wait, there was was at least one place in the GWCC where you could have used stairs instead. Then you wouldn't have had to wait for those of us who have less than perfect health, or who were almost too tired to stand up.

By the way, escalators were designed for standing on, not walking on. The height of the steps, and the change in step height at each end of the escalator, create safety challenges for many people. Please do not expect everyone to compromise their safety to satisfy your impatience.
