[Frosty Flurry 173]

Stairs for godness sake

I like taking the stairs to get exercise, but elevators are fun to ride on haha. You'd think I'd be afraid of both stairs and elevators considering I fell down the stairs when I was about 5 or 6 (amazingly I didn't get hurt), and I got stuck in an elevator for about 30 minutes to an hour when I was 8 or 9 (too many people got on; it was kind of fun to be honest haha), but I'm not. I voted elevators since its way more fun. I love jumping up and down on elevators too; I know I'm weird. xD

I'm not afraid of elevators, but I prefer stairs. Although escalators terrify me. Thankfully I only have to go on them when I go to the mall, and thats only like once or twice a month

[SomariFeyWright 776]

Definitely elevators.

 

Stairs require a lot of effort to climb, and I can't bear the post-stairs exhaustion. Elevators.

 

... Also, obligatory reference only a select audience will get:

 

NNNGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stairs all the way. I have experienced problems with elevators and I don't want to take the risk again lol. I'm not afraid or anything to go on them, it's just that I actually love to run up long stairs haha and I don't know... I take the stairs when I can just in case

The very reason I hate elevators as well. I got stuck on one at my school for a time and I hated it.... Also the other day the elevator at my college was broken down so yeah the stairs are for me.

Stairs are better for your health anyways!

I prefer taking the stairs. For whatever reason, I've always had a fear that the elevator will get stuck, as it does happen. Not to mention elevators can get pretty crowded and I have some slight claustrophobia, especially for elevators that aren't glass. With stairs, I can go at my own pace and they're usually less crowded. It's also a lot healthier to take the stairs and burn off some calories.

Screw stairs I would take a jetpack any day but they aren't available to the public or at least I don't think they are.

I prefer the stairs - it's good exercise. I don't have a fear of elevators though, so sometimes I'll take the elevator if I'm going really high up or if I don't have time to take the stairs.

If there is lots of people on a elevator I take the stairs. And I use escalators as a "Boost stairs" 

[Virulence 254]

Hmmm, with those choices I'd pick a jet pack, but realistically stairs.

 

I don't want to become even more lazy by always taking elevators or escalators. Having some exercise could do me wonders. Overall, stairs for the win.

Usually take the stairs to burn off a few extra calories, really depends on the situation though  

[Midnight and Shira 123]

Eugh, elevators are terrifying, so are escalators.

 

Stairs all the way, more exercise and safety.

[CMQuickfireTK 751]

Screw stairs.

 

Screw health too ami right?

If I'm only going up like 10 floors or less the stairs are usually faster. So yeah. Stairs win against the elevator. However, If you add jetpacks into the mix...

[Wingnut 7,001]

I'm surprised escalators aren't one of the choices.  They are the path of least resistance, after all. 

 

I like taking the stairs for the exercise benefit if time allows.  But getting to work in the morning and from lunch usually means I have to take the elevator to be on time.  But coming up from the subway outside my building involves 55 steps by itself and I never wait for the single ADA elevator there.
