my old school's elivator made me nurvus, everytime it would move I'd hear a click. also the doors scare me

well, my strategy with things like escalators is to listen for when it ends. I usually try to make my self as small as possible as not to get in the way

Well, I kinda get a good feeling of when it ends, it's really not as dramatic. And when I feel like it ends, I get ready to go off, lifting my legs up and forward just a little little bit. And elevators, some are old and can creak, or do other things. I prefer them anyway. It is more fascinating to me.

Oh? I find that it depends on the elevator that you are on. In those highrise places you can really feel the speed of them as you go up and down. And you would really enjoy going on those mine shaft hoist. Because when you move fast, you can feel the wind as you move so you can really tell how fast you are going.

Escalators are more boring, heh. You just step on them, wait like 10 seconds and step off.

Quite right. Plus Escalators are easier to fall from them. That's why I don't take them. Elevators are safer.

Um? Ok so how can you fall off an escalator. You'd need to climb up the rail which goes at least up to where your arms start or higher, a bit hard to explain but they're high enough unless you're an unstable shaky 2 metre tall person heheh.

Falling off an elevator is extremely rare. It has happend but that's only because the elevator was not installed right. So Elevator also have an emergency phones. escalators don't have a phone incase of emergencies. There was a time where a child got cot between the gap of the escalator and the floor. So elevators are easier to help with that.

In general though if you're not stupid this rarely happens, and if the escalator stops you can just climb it further up/down yourself. Not defending them cuz they're boring but your points are a little bad.

Well here is a good point about elevators. No matter what disabillity you have, elevators can be used by everyone If you are in a wheelchair, you can't use escalators. So that's why when I see an elevator, I know that the building is disable friendly.

Not always. It could have bad structured places, none of your braille buttons or voices, etc. Don't you expect a high hotel building for example to have an elevator simply because it's a lot of stairs from bottom to top?
