Question: Stairs vs. Elevators?

[Gone Airbourne 21,969]

 

So... yeah I was wondering how many people preferred stair or elevators? Personally I'd take the stairs anyday honestly depending on how high up I am going if its beyond 6-7 stories than I'll use an elevator. But I am kinda scared of elevators for numerous reasons and confinement  .... So what do you prefer? 

 

Also taking the stairs = good exercise

Stairs. Stairs all the way.

 

Elevators is the Lazy pony's way out.

Since I'm usually never in a building more than two stories high, I pretty much always take the stairs. I do cheat this occasionally because I use the escalator whenever I'm in the mall.

I have a fear of elevators so my choice is stairs. I'm just scared of them for multiple reasons, they just put me on edge....same as escalators.

Well, I've never really been a big fan of stairs (inside). So i'd have to say elevator. 

But i'm 50/50 on this. I don't mind either.

Elevator, but only if it's this elevator.

Only the disabled should take the elevator. The rest should be forced to take the stairs.

 

Yes, especially the ridiculous overweight ones. They need it.

But bro, if an Escalator stops, you can just walk up it! 

 

I agree with Elevators though. It's like someone tried to trigger every possible phobia during their use.

I try to make a point to take stairs when I can, it's the less lazy path and it burns some energy. There is a logical point where I will take an elevator, particularly where I'm lost in an airport and have no idea where I'm going or I have no energy to burn.

 

Elevators can create some awkward social situations as well that I'm not a big fan of...

[DerpyWithFlowers 24]

It honestly depends with me. After a mile run or something, then obviously an elevator.

 

But if nothing big happened, than I'll take the stairs.

 

Taking the stairs is a 5-10 second workout for me, xP

I do to that what if it breaks down and you get stuck in there with people you don't know .__. 

 

And elevators are so cramped >.>...

How bad is it that I sometimes play the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror audio from Walt Disney World in elevators sometimes, espessally the rickity ones.

I always take the stairs if I have a choice, if I'm with my girlfriend, well then I really don't have a choice, into the elevator of scaryness I go!

Stairs. I don't like elevators one bit, and I usually climb escalators (unless some idiot is standing still in front of me). There is no level on which I like elevators, There is a chance that they will break down, and even when they function properly, you are still in a cramped, inescapable space with strangers. Stairs barely count as exercise, but they are better than nothing, plus they are a bit more open.

I prefer eels and escalators.

I prefer eels and escalators. 

 

Oh man... classic classic spongebob episode... 

 

On topic riding an eel on a escalator!

[Anneal 2,194]

Elevators. I get this joy when I press the buttons and it immediately lights up, and when the floor number changes, and the pressure I feel on my body when I go up and down.

 

Bonus points if the elevator is transparent, takes in modern architecture, goes on high speeds, is hydro-electric, and/or exotic.

I am a lazy pony, elevators all the way.

[Envy 6,004]

Elevators scare me enough that I don't mind spending the extra effort to take the stairs.

[NomDeSpite 452]

"I like escalators because escalators can never break. They can only become stairs. You'll never see an 'escalator temporarily out of order' sign. Just 'escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience'."

I have a fear of elevators for I'll take the stairs any day

[Hreter 9]

Elevators mostly means having to deal with some unconfortable seconds with a stranger. I'd rather take the stairs xD

[Heatwave 177]

I'm all for modern technology, so jetpacks for the win!

[ReverseFaller 2,483]

Stairs, or elevators? Eels, or escalators? Hmmm...

 

It depends. Walking up tons of flights of stairs isn't fun. If its just a few that's fine. If it's too many stairs then I pick escalator.

I usually prefer to take the stairs. If it's a hydraulic elevator, I'm usually fine. Not too much can go wrong with them. But cable elevators? Hell no! I've never been trapped in an elevator but I've been on an elevator rescue. They aren't too happy when they finally get out.

[Legacy Dash 438]

I seem to be strangely attached to lifts (or in the United States, elevators) - whenever I see a lift - and seem to slowly steer towards it, like there is an invisible force making really want to ride the lift.

 

Although, I do quite like jetpacks - but that'd probably be scary, time consuming, and I'd probably have to pay.

Stairs, meh, neutral. Don't mind them.

 

However, I'd never walk these stairs...

I'd probably be there for quite some time...
