Question: Stairs vs. Elevators?

[Malinter 3,064]

Stairs because we have legs, use 'em. xD

[NightOwl 912]

Both, I take the stairs when I can but the elevator can be handy too. 

[Smarts 1,623]

I prefer stairs. Elevators have always made me feel very uneasy. Whenever I am in one, I feel my heart beating faster and my vision goes blurry. My family knows this and lets me take the stairs without any arguments. I feel safer on stairs, even though I have a great fear of heights. Also, it's good exercise.

Helicopter! I don't care how short a hop it is, I love flying

[Scootaloodle 1,623]

Either depending on where I’m at: often though I’d take the stairs. Wating for a elevator (or lift as we say in the UK) is boring, it’s slow and not much to do. With stairs I just run up and I’m too busy running to be aware of how uninteresting a stair case is and I reach my desdanation quicker.

I know I should be taking the stairs, its better for me, but at the same time how can I strike dramatic poses  as I ascend upon stairs?  It just doesn't work.

I get paranoid on stairs because I might fall and get a concussion. Elevators.

[LittleRawr 679]

Jetpacks are the best, obviously.

 

However, if my jetpack's broken, I take the elevator. 

[Sweet Dreams 1,893]

If it's only a level or two, stairs. Otherwise, elevator all the way!

[~Silver Essence~ 2,625]

Stairs.

 

That, and because of three things.

 

• At least your moving and doing some exercise rather than standing to your next destination.
• Much safer than an elevator where it could shut down or collapse any minute.
• When in an emergency, of course it's obvious which one is safer.

If I'm going up a level or two, then I take the stairs. 3 or more floors and I'll be taking the elevator. I don't like taking the elevator for just one or two floors since the stairs end up being quicker and stairs keeps you a little more active.

 

It really annoys me when people get on the elevator just to go up or down a single floor when they're aren't moving anything heavy and/or hard to carry up or down the stairs. Of course, this is because there is only one elevator in the building I'm thinking of so it ends up stopping on every floor both on it's way to you and on it's way to your destination.

Stairs, please. I don't mind how many I have to climb. Nothing is worse than being trapped in a metal box with strangers.

[Troblems 5,619]

Stairs, unless my knee has given out. Again.

[clockwork24 103]

Honestly, I'm more of a 'jumping around inside the elevator to feel it go up and down while it's moving' kind of guy. Stair racing with my brother is always fun too, though...

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

I'll tell you what it is kind of nerve racking when you are at a concert or a stadium when you are going down really steep steps that is scary o.O

 

.

 

They both serve their purposes just I don't like elevators in general however 

[Rainboom Dash 1,056]

A mix for me. I take the elevator if I go to a high level and the stairs/escalators if I go to the low levels.

[K-Kopp 5]

I'll take an elevator any chance I get, but only because that is a super rare occasion for me.

[Doc. Volt 2,561]

i don't need those bullshits

 

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

Like a boss! Fly dat jetpack with vigilance!

[Malinter 3,064]

What about Escalators? best of both right?

[Naive Wolf Josh 93]

Most definitely, that's what they are there for.

[Ianpiersonjdavis 513]

Stairs.

 

They are faster for me because I don't have to wait for them or deal with being in an enclosed space with people I don't know.

 

Plus, I am always aware that the cables could snap, the hydraulics could fail, or the elevator could be stuck between floors.

[Arylett Charnoa 4,919]

Elevators. For some reason, I'm more afraid of stairs than more people. They feel unpleasant and I don't like non-level floor. I'm constantly afraid I'll slip and fall down a flight of stairs. The bigger they are, the more I have this fear. Elevators are probably well-maintained and consistently tested to make sure they don't screw up. Plus, they have emergency phones and devices. I'd much rather be trapped in an elevator than fall down a flight of stairs, that's for sure. In an elevator, my chances of breaking my spine or hitting my head when I fall and getting a concussion are reduced dramatically!

 

Don't even get me started on escalators. I have a damn phobia of those. @_@ Stairs + moving = My worst nightmare. Just. No. Whoever invented that, you suck. ;~; That just increases the likelihood of falling down them!

When I take the elevator, I become all dizzy. So I hate the elevator.

 

I always take the stairs personally.

[Scootalove 10,689]

I prefer the elevator because, it's bad enough that I have to take the stairs on three floors in my school but there are so many stairs that it feels like a long spiral staircase.
